How do you price tattoos?

Do you have to have an appointment?
Yes. We do work by appointment but we gladly accept walk-ins if our schedule allows. If you don’t have an appointment we do recommend calling ahead to check availability. If you are seeking larger work, we always suggest making an appointment to allow proper preparation time. We are able to work off a waiting list each day if our schedule is full. You can leave us your name and number and if someone cancels or we finish an appointment early we can give you a call.
Can you explain the overall scheduling process?
Revolution Ink consists of 5 artists and one assistant that helps with our customer and artist relations. When a customer calls, emails, or stops in, we work with them individually to understand their needs and determine the artist best suited for them. We feel that our artists are at their best when they are focusing on their artwork and with the amount of time needed to prepare for and fulfill each appointment, our assistant works on behalf of the customer and the artist to discuss ideas, estimate cost and time involved, and schedule the customer along with being a point of contact along the way. The scheduling process does take time and often involves multiple emails or phone calls to follow up with a customer before everything is nailed down. Oftentimes, we will schedule a consultation for the artist and customer to meet after we have started working through ideas and prior to final scheduling. While we strive to work in a efficient manner, we aren’t trying to rush through things for the sake of getting more customers in. Our goal has always been to provide quality work with a quality experience and we believe that, while this takes more time, it’s well worth it and delivers the best outcome.
On top of the daily workload, our artists travel from time to time so we occasionally experience a slightly longer turn around time while working through ideas. We always try to let you know ahead of time when a artist is unavailable and the turnaround time may be extended. We can typically follow up with most ideas within two to three business days. For smaller ideas, we can usually schedule them at the first point of contact and get these ideas in quicker. We are also able to work smaller ideas in as walk ins the same day depending on our schedule. On average, our wait time for a tattoo can span anywhere within 3 to 5 days, or sometimes 2 to 4 months in advance depending on the ideas and artist best suited. If you’re looking to get in day of or only have specific days in mind, we always suggest stopping in or giving us a call. While we may not be able to discuss all the details in full at the first point of contact, we can at least determine if we may be able to work with your timeline quicker than we can through email. For any type of scheduling, please provide as much info as you can at the beginning of the process to help us get started faster. Don’t worry about being too detailed - it helps!
Why so much communication prior to scheduling?
We want our customers and our artists to be as informed as possible. Once we put you in the schedule we want to know that we have a solid understanding of what you want so the artist can prepare your sketch and have it ready for your appointment. All of our artists feel comfortable working within certain styles so thorough communication up front assures us that we have you with the artist best suited for your needs. Due to our workload, its hard for us to sketch prior to scheduling a appointment. Because of this, we communicate as much as possible prior to scheduling then build time into the appointment to show you the sketch, make any needed changes, and start the tattoo. Please note that if you change your idea at all prior to a scheduled appointment, you must contact us in advance to discuss the changes. Not doing so may result in us rescheduling the appointment and the customer possibly losing the deposit.
Please continue to read below for information on appointments, deposits, after-care, and other general questions.
A non-refundable deposit for an appointment?
When making the appointment we require a $100 non-refundable deposit to set up and confirm the appointment. The deposit comes off the total cost of your tattoo. The price of the deposit depends on the size of the piece you are getting for the scheduled appointment. A lot of work goes into setting up and preparing for an appointment, so taking a deposit gives us security to begin work and assures the artist that a client is serious. Deposits are non-refundable! If you can’t make an appointment we require at least 48 hours notice by phone or in person or you will lose the deposit.
If you do not show up, you lose the deposit.
If you cancel with the proper 48 hour notice, you don’t lose the deposit - we will roll the deposit to your new appointment. We value our time and yours, so please give us as much notice as possible when canceling.
When a customer has multiple sessions to complete a piece, we will roll the deposit to each appointment and it comes off the last appointment's cost.
If you are out of town, we can accept card payment over the phone, or online payment through Paypal. Cash is greatly appreciated in person.
What happens if I miss my appointment?
While we prefer at least a week's notice, we require at least 48 hours notice to cancel an appointment. If notice is not given, or a customer doesn’t show up, they will lose their deposit. If the client wants to re-book, a deposit and pre-payment for the full piece/session is required to reschedule.
I booked an appointment, but changed my idea.
Now what?
Please let us know as far in advance as possible. We put a lot of time and effort into our schedule and like to be as prepared as possible. If you change your idea but don’t tell us until your appointment -
1) We may not have you with the artist best suited for your new idea.
2) We may not have enough time to allow for drawing and tattooing the new idea and will likely need to reschedule you.
3) A new deposit is required for the new drawing.
There’s nothing more heartbreaking then to spend a lot of time drawing for an appointment just to have the client show up with an entirely new idea. Please keep us informed.
How do I care for my tattoo?
If you lost your copy of the after-care instructions, you can download another one HERE (file is in PNG format).
Do your artists do coverups?
If it's possible, yes. The best place for us to start with coverups is to see your existing tattoo and discuss your ideas for the new piece. From there we can better determine if its possible. The general rule for coverups is that the new idea will need to be 2 to 3 times larger then the existing tattoo, and in color. You’re welcome to email us photos, or stop in and have us take photos. Once we have photos and ideas we will discuss with all of our artists and follow up with you. Keep in mind that laser treatment is always a good option when you have a tattoo you are unhappy with. Laser treatment makes it possible to lighten the existing tattoo and give you more options on what will work to cover your tattoo.
Can you rework my old tattoo?
If it's possible, yes. The majority of the time we are very limited on what we can do, if anything at all, with an existing tattoo in poor condition. As with coverups, we will need to see the existing tattoo to know if we are able to rework it. You can email a photo or stop by and let us take a photo. Once we have photos and ideas we will discuss with all of our artists and follow up with you. If we don’t feel like we can truly make a tattoo better, we will let you know that we are unable to rework it.
Can I bring my child to my appointment?
No. You have to be at least 18 years of age to be allowed in our work areas.
Within tattooing, is there anything you won’t do?
We want to do tattoos that we know will hold up well over time and look the best possible for a client. For this reason, we have chosen not to tattoo the following areas - side of fingers, palms, inside lips, or bottom of feet. We don’t do all white tattoos or black light tattoos. We don’t offer any type of temporary tattoos.
Tattoos have to be a certain size to work and hold up well over time. Depending on your ideas and design, we can show you the smallest we can go with the idea.
Is your ink vegan friendly?
Yes. We use Eternal Ink and Fusion Ink, and it is organic and vegan.
