What information should be included in my email?
I would need you to include:
1. Description of your idea:
Please be as specific as possible. For example, if you want a floral design, tell me which flowers you like and which you don’t. If you want an animal tattoo tell me if you prefer only the head or the whole body. Which angle or perspective should it have? Also let me know which style you are looking for (e.g. dotwork or just a lineal design).
2. References:
For me to get a better understanding of what idea and style you have in mind please send me any references you might be able to find (images, photos, tattoos, illustrations, …). Please attach them as an image to your email (no links).
3. Size (in cm):
For this it’s best you take a minute and check with a ruler the size you prefer to make sure we both talk about the same size (“small” or “medium” is not a measure). If you are not certain yet about the size you want, give me just an approximate number. We can still adjust the size on the appointment.
4. Placement:
Let me know where on your body you want the tattoo. If you can’t describe it, just send me a photo pointing on it. It’s no problem if you change your mind about the position before the appointment.
5. Availability:
Let me know what times and which days would suit you best. I will then get back to you with a concrete proposal.
6. Contact info:
Please let me know your phone number and/or your Instagram name in case I need to contact you urgently before our appointment.
Please use the form for a booking request!
What if I’m not sure about the design?
Once you have seen your design I’ll be waiting for your feedback and will adjust it to your wishes. Even at the beginning of the appointment changes are welcome!
Can I see the design beforehand?
Usually I work on the designs the day/night before to our appointment and send it to you for approval or changes. When the design is quite simple and easy I might do it in the time previous to the appointment. In any case you can always make some changes!
How do I pay in the appointment?
You can only pay by cash.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes, once we have agreed on the date and time of the appointment, I’ll ask you to pay a 50€ deposit via PayPal. Your deposit is non-refundable. If you cannot make it to your appointment, you should let me know minimum 3 days beforehand and I will offer you to reschedule it. If you fail to show up/reschedule, your deposit is lost. The deposit amount will be deducted to final tattoo price on your tattoo day.
Do you do also colored tattoos?
No, I only work with black ink.
Are you working on weekends as well?
Rarely. Saturdays and Sundays I don’t offer appointments, unless it’s a big project and there is no other day we both can.
What tattoo cream should I buy?
I’ll explain you everything about the healing process after the tattoo session. I use Dermalize, also called “second skin”, which is a special foil that you put on your tattoo for a few days and keeps it safe from bacteria while helps with the healing. You can always use a tattoo cream after removing this “second skin”, but you don’t need to get it before the appointment, you’ll have a few days to do it!
How long in advance should I send you my tattoo request?
Usually two months in advance to the date you would like to have the appointment.
Do you do custom designs?
Yes, of course! I’ll take your idea and references to create something unique. I do not copy others designs, however you can send them to me as inspiration.
Do you have designs ready to be tattooed?
Sure! I have a bunch of flashes or available designs on my Instagram @dindottattoo, under my highlights.
You have another questions that aren’t answered here?
Found me on Social Media!
