Tattoo - FAQ's
If your question isn't answered here, always feel free to reach me at lebenskunst.ink@gmail.com!
☆ HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
Thank you for your interest in my work! Visit my 'Book a Tattoo' page to submit a tattoo request form* and you will hear back from me via email. All booking happens via email, and I will do my best to refer declined appointments to other artists. Accepted appointments will place deposits and schedule their date/time.
*Please be sure to fill out the correct form for your city! If I am guesting outside of Austin, Texas you will find the tattoo request form with the name of your city in the title.
I'm generally booked out 2 months in advance, stay up to date on booking cycles by signing up for my newsletter or following my Instagram. If I have a last-minute opening due to a cancellation, I will post on my Instagram story.
☆ PRICING?
I price all pieces by the design complexity, placement, and size. Quotes will be sent via email and discussed before your appointment.
My Custom tattoo minimum is $200.
Half day and Full day appointments are available at a set rate.
☆ TIPPING / PAYMENT METHODS?
Tips are customary & greatly appreciated, though not required. 20% is industry standard, when calculating your tip remember to include your deposit to know the total cost. Non-monetary tips that are handmade are also welcome (no food or drinks, please).
I accept both cash & all cards.
☆ DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
Short answer, no.
Figura 22 Tattoo and Art Studio is by appointment only. On occasion, I may host a special flash day where only I accept walk ins. Follow me on Instagram or sign up for my mailing list to find out when I have flash days!
☆ WHEN CAN I SEE MY CUSTOM DESIGN?
Designs are not drawn until your appointment is scheduled & I have received your deposit. Designs will be shown to you when you arrive for your appointment. We will go over options and make any final adjustments during this time.
☆ TATTOOS YOU ABSOLUTELY WONT DO?
Other people's art
Anything hateful
If you're under 18, even with parental consent
☆ HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT REQUESTS TO TAKE ON?
Almost all flash requests are accepted, with the exception of placement or size issues with the design.
Custom and freehand requests are chosen based on if the design is something I'm inspired by and feel confident in my ability to execute your vision. Often times I will have a list of the types of pieces that I am interested in for the month, which I will note at the top of the form and in my Instagram booking post.
If I do not accept your request, I will do my best to refer you to another artist who could do a better job with your particular idea.
