Booking steps
-
You’ve got your idea brewing, some reference photos, and know where you want it. You’ve already checked out all of our artists work and you know exactly who you want to book with... So, let’s get your name and design over to them! Every artist has their own request form that can be found on their about page. send them all that info and they will get back to you as soon as they can.
-
Every artist sets aside a day or two every week to respond to new request forms and continue chatting with clients. It’s totally normal for you to go up to a week before initially hearing back from your artist and a few days between emails. If it has been over 7 days and you haven’t heard back, you can call the shop, but please give it that full week before doing so.
-
Here’s where you and your artist will communicate about your design and placement. the best way to ensure things move quickly and smoothly is to provide as much information as possible when you fill out the request form. Once things look good for everyone, your artist will send you the secure deposit link, and get you on their schedule .
-
you will receive a secure booking link from your artist. a $100 deposit is required to book your tattoo here at sink or swim. this deposit is removed from the final cost of your tattoo at your appointment. it ensures that your artist is compensated for the time and effort that goes into designing your artwork in the event that you no show (but you’d never do that, right?)
-
your tattoo artist will work with you to lock down a date and time that works best for both of you. this happens after the artist confirms that your deposit has been paid. once on the schedule, you’ll get a text and email confirmation.
-
when your appointment date comes, please arrive on time and be ready for your tattoo. that means don’t come on an empty stomach, wear comfortable clothing that allows access to your tattoo location, and ensure proper personal hygiene. You will need a physical copy of a Valid ID (license/passport) in order to check in for your appointment.
-
We offer some amazing aftercare products in the shop that we’re happy to recommend. Also, we’re working on an in depth video library of how to properly care for your new tattoo.
