Consultations / Appointments
Once you’ve submitted your tattoo request, I will reach out to you via text message to schedule a consultation. We will discuss over FaceTime, phone call, text, or in-person, depending on your location and preference.
Appointments will require a non-refundable deposit to set an appointment date. Deposits can be paid in cash or Venmo.
Rate / Deposit
$1200 day rate
$600 half-day rate
$150 hourly rate, $150 minimum
A $100 deposit is required to secure your spot in my calendar. Deposits are non-refundable.
Your $100 deposit will come off the final price of the tattoo.
Cancellation / Rescheduling
If you need to cancel your appointment for any reason, you will need to restart the booking process. A 48-hour minimum advance notice is required for cancellations. If you cancel less than 48 hours before the appointment, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will be required to leave a new deposit to book a future appointment.
One reschedule is allowed. On your second reschedule, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will be required to leave another deposit. Same-day reschedules without fair reason will also result in a forfeit of your deposit. Please note that deposits are non-refundable.
If you or someone you live with is ill, please message me, and we can get you rescheduled. Please do not show up to your appointment sick under any circumstances.
Price / Quote
There are many factors that affect the time I spend on each tattoo, including placement on the body, amount of detail, size, etc. You will be given an estimated price range for the specific piece based on these factors.
Larger pieces will require a full-day session to begin and will be charged in increments of full-day sessions until completed, except for the last session which will be charged hourly. These bigger projects like sleeves, full back pieces, etc. will vary in time depending on design, detail, and overall anatomy of the client. These are multiple-session projects. Once we discuss the variables and details, I will have a better idea of how long the project will take.
Smaller pieces may be priced according to session length or at a flat rate for the entire piece, regardless of hours spent tattooing. This quote will be given to you on the day of your consultation.
Appointment Day
You are allowed to bring one person to your appointment; however, I recommend that you come alone, since I’ve found that clients tend to sit a lot better without distractions. If you do bring someone, they will be required to sit in the designated waiting area. Only the tattoo artist and her client are allowed in the tattoo workspace.
Get a good night’s sleep.
Stay hydrated.
Eat a full, well-balanced meal before the appointment.
Bring snacks and drinks with electrolytes to have during breaks.
Bring headphones and phone or tablet to use during the session.
Wear comfortable clothing that makes it easy to access the area being tattooed. I would recommend wearing black to avoid the risk of ink staining.
Avoid alcohol and drugs before your session. Please do not show up intoxicated.
Payment
Cash only for appointments.
Venmo is accepted for deposits.
If using Venmo, do not include the words “tattoo”, “deposit”, or any other related terms in the payment description. Doing so will result in an additional fee.
Touch-Ups
Kendra currently offers all of her clients one free touch-up within the first year of getting a new tattoo from her. A small deposit may be required to secure an appointment; however, this deposit is fully refundable.
Additional touch-ups within that first year period or touch-ups after the first year may require payment. Please reach out to discuss this with your artist.
To request a touch-up appointment, contact Kendra directly.
