WHat does it mean when an artist’s books are closed?

It means they are not currently accepting/scheduling any new appointments, projects, or consultations until they work through their currently scheduled projects. We keep a list at the top of our website contact page of our artists and their booking statuses that is kept up to date. We also announce on Facebook and Instagram when an artist’s books open and close. An artist will schedule touch ups on their own work within the first year even if their books are closed. Kimberly and Jaime have booking days 2-3 times a year. When each next booking day is determined, the Artist Booking Status List at the top of our website contact page will be updated with the date you will need to submit your project in order to get on that artist’s schedule.

 How far are you booked out?

As of right now our availability varies depending on the artists books. In general you may have to wait a couple months, especially with bigger projects. Smaller projects may be easier to get in sooner, but that is still no guarantee, and still depending on the artist’s availability.

Do you accept credit cards?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover. We are also capable of accepting Apple Pay. There is a 3.5% processing fee for card purchases.

How much do tattoos cost?

Our pricing varies depending on our artist. There are a lot of factors that go into the pricing of a tattoo. Some artist may do pricing by the piece however selected pieces may run by the hour. Each persons skin may react differently, along with other factors we can’t always guarantee the exact hours it will take to complete a design, but we will do our best to give the proper estimate.

How do i know my request has been accepted?

You will usually be contacted by the front desk staff and/or requested artist via email or phone call, we may ask for more information to get a better idea of which artist is best fit for your design or if our artist is the best fit for the piece. Please be sure to do your research on our artist and make sure that your style fits our artists work, especially if you put a request in for a specific artist. It may take 3-5 business days to receive a response from us, so please be patient.

do i need to schedule a consultation?

Yes, we are by appointment only. If you have a design or idea you’d like to go over you may fill out one of our request forms on our website for a consultation, from there we can find which artist is best fit for you and set up a consultation. Our consults are free of charge, however if you decide to go ahead and set up an tattoo appointment we will require a deposit determined by your artist. Consultations can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes.

When can i see my design?

Our artist may show the design up to 2 days prior, however almost always our artist will show the complete design day of the appointment. Small modifications may be made day of the appointment, if you chose to go a completely different route than the agreed upon design we may require a new deposit and our artist will need to start the process all over. If you would like a fully complete design prior to your appointment we ask you discuss this with your artist, additional fees may apply.

WHat if i need to reschedule?

We require a 48 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule via email (info@rawhidetattoostudio.com) or through an in shop visit. We do not accept cancellations or reschedules over social media. If you completely cancel your appointment you will automatically forfeit your deposit. If you decide to reschedule with 48 hour notice, your deposit may go towards your rescheduled date. We allow one reschedule before requiring a new deposit. DO NOT respond to our system’s automated messages.

Can i bring my friends or another person to my appointment?

As of right now, we only allow one additional guest at your appointment with permission from your artist. Rideshares may wait in the lobby if already pre-discussed with the artist. Matching tattoo appointments with more than two clients will be asked to wait their turn in our lobby with no more than two people with the artist at a time.

Do you allow the use of numbing cream?

While we do not outright prohibit the use of numbing cream, we require all clients to disclose if they plan on using a numbing product before the appointment date. Any of our artists may refuse to tattoo over any product based on their discretion. We cannot and will not recommend any product in particular. We ask that you thoroughly research any numbing product before use and purchase said product well in advance of your tattoo appointment in order to conduct a patch test to determine potential allergy or adverse reaction. If you do use a numbing product, we cannot be held responsible for reactions you have to said product or the way it affects the healing process of your tattoo.
