A PSA About Tattoo Consultations
I've had a few people ask why I insist on consultations before certain tattoo appointments, so I figured I'd explain.
If I ask you to schedule a consultation before your tattoo, it's not optionalā€”it's part of the appointment process.
A consultation is where we:
Discuss the concept.
Review references.
Talk about placement.
Make sure the design will age well.
Decide whether changes need to be made before I ever put a needle to skin.
If weeks pass and that consultation never gets scheduled, I'm going to cancel the tattoo appointment.
Not because I'm upset.
Not because I don't want to do your tattoo.
Because I refuse to rush permanent artwork that deserved planning.
I know many of my longtime clients remember when we could spend hours texting ideas back and forth or work everything out the day of the appointment. I genuinely enjoyed that, and I'm grateful for every client who helped build my career.
But after nearly 20 years of tattooing, my scheduleā€”and my lifeā€”look very different.
My time is limited, and I have to treat it professionally.
Respecting your appointment also means respecting mine.
If I set aside several hours for your tattoo, I expect the preparation to have been done beforehand. When we agree that a consultation is required, I need you to follow through with scheduling it.
The consultation isn't a formality.
It's part of making sure you receive the best tattoo I can possibly give you.
I'd rather disappoint someone by postponing a tattoo than disappoint them with a tattoo that wasn't properly planned.
Thank you to everyone who respects the process. It truly makes for better tattoos, happier clients, and better artwork.
