OCTO'S RATES & POLICIES

Policies 

Thank you for contacting me at Octo Tattoos. My name is Octavian, and I'm happy to help you! In order to get you the best quote possible I am going to be asking for a few different things from you. Please be patient with the process, it is all in the interest of getting you the best quote possible for your piece. 

Before we proceed, I just need you to confirm that you have read over my policies that are below. It goes over important information regarding the booking process, rates, and deposit. If you agree please reply with "I agree". I tattoo full time and do my own books, so please allow up to 48hrs for a response time. Thank you! 

Tattoo Style

I lean towards black and gray realism as my preferred palette to work in. My interest also peaks with Geometric, Mandala, color tattoos, and Ornamental style. 

Please be committed to your piece/project, I am pushing my limits everyday and want to grow and work with people who are serious about the piece. The mission is to give you that mind blowing wow piece of artwork at the highest level of quality. 

Pricing and Scheduling

$100 an hour (min $150)

$600 per full day

Full day sessions are up to 6-8 hours

Design time is included in the appointment time and all designs will

be done the day of with the client. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY! On time or reasonably late is okay. This is to ensure each customer gets their full time uninterrupted. 

*You have 1 year to contact your artist regarding a free touch up on your tattoo.

I only book one client a day to allow time to make as much progress as possible or complete the piece.

Project/piece size will determine how many days/sessions will be needed for your project.

For example:

 *Smaller pieces around a half size to 2/3 pieces of printer paper such as a rose, skull and smoke, small portraits will be completed in a day.

*Medium projects like a half sleeve may take 2 to 3 days, a full size piece of printer paper to a page and a half. Depending on level of details and the overall canvas size, skin condition, and other variables that come into play.

*Larger projects such as sleeves or back pieces may be 6 to 8 sessions but are not limited to 8 days with the variables stated above coming into effect.

NOTE: For medium and large projects we recommend doing 2-3 days in a row to allow more progress.

All projects must be started and completed within 1 calendar year (we usually don't wish to continue projects older than 1 year as his techniques grow and can become hard to match older projects).

Rescheduling/Cancellations & No Shows

If the client needs to reschedule, we ask for 48hrs notice. If the client cancels or does not show the deposit is forfeit. We will be as understanding as possible with emergencies as we know things do come up. 

Clients are allowed ONE reschedule per appointment. 

If the client does not show for 2 appointments they may be required to pay in full before booking.

Deposits

We require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to book the appointment. 

This will be applied to the appointment price. 

If booking multiple appointments, a deposit is required for each date. 

Booking for larger scale projects that require bookings 3 to 4 weeks apart, there is NO AUTOMATIC HOLD, a deposit is required for every single appointment and has to be booked and confirmed.

Client specific travel is to be paid in full.

Deposit amounts full day: $100.

Preparation For The Day

Please be hydrated the day before and the day of. 

We encourage clients to bring lunch, drinks and/or snacks for your day. If you forget we will be happy to provide these things to the best of our abilities. 

Make sure you aren’t sunburnt or have damaged skin in the area we will be working. 

We will provide aftercare instructions at the time of the appointment.  

**NO NUMBING CREAM IS PERMITTED! We have found it can change the way the skin reacts and becomes harder to work with, thus changing variables and changing the final product. If the client shows up with numbing cream on, we will have to reschedule you and your deposit may be forfeit.
