Aftercare Info.

Greetings, and thank you for expressing an interest in having your artwork done by me. I am so immensely grateful for each and everyone of you for your constant support and kindness, with that being said, I would also like to explain my booking process for appointment requests. As appreciative and grateful as I am for the volume of interest and inquiries received, unfortunately there is only one of me and I may not able to accommodate every request received. ***Please note that I do not accept requests for same day appointments and walk-ins are undesirable due to the fact that I value the quality of my artwork.***Below you will find some guidelines to help with your initial email request for an appointment. Please note that if your email does not include the information below it may not be considered for scheduling.To request an appointment please e-mail bodyartbyred@gmail.com and include the following:A description of the tattoo design you wantApproximate size and dimensions, in inches or a picture with the location circled on the body with a quarter in the photo for referencePlacement (which body part and where on that part)Any reference images (knowing that we will not copy an exact image, but to use as a reference point of what you like visually in terms of style, color, coverage, etc)In the email, please include the best days and times of the week for your appointmentA contact number we can reach out at---------------------I emailed, now what?Unfortunately, I am unable to take on every request so I have added a section below to help give a better idea of the content I am focused on for scheduling. My books open and close bi-weekly, and typically I wish to book one month at a time only. If you are trying to align your appointment with travel dates please send your email request at one or two months prior (for example send your e-mail before August if you wish to be tattooed in September). Please include your desired time frame so that I may accommodate you the best that I possibly can. I receive an overwhelmingly large volume of emails as such at this time I only respond to emails that have been selected for a tattoo.---------------------Why did my appointment request get rejected?I am fortunate to receive more requests for tattoo work than I can accommodate, so please don’t take it personally. If your design does not fit within my specialties, or I simply can't take on any new work at the moment, I will decline. I sometimes have to turn away some work because I will not compromise quality or time spent with clients to take on a higher volume. I want you to end up with an artist that has the time, interest, and ability to give you the attention your tattoo deserves, and who will do an amazing job at it, even if they don't work in this studio.---------------------Artwork styleI specialize in fine line work and lettering with a focus on:cyber sigilism / cyber tribalneotribaldark ornamental stylemacabre/satanic-inspired artI work primarily within the realms of black and gray with the use of white ink highlights but I do dabble in color occasionally. My artwork draws very heavy influences from the death & mourning etiquette of New England’s Victorian past times. For example, if you are looking for a full-color tattoo or something not within the realm of my portfolio, I may not be the artist suitable for your desired tattoo.---------------------Other Important InformationI do not tolerate haggling or complaining about pricing. My prices reflect my time, effort, creativity, and the overall value of my artwork. If you cannot afford me, then you cannot afford my artwork. I do not owe nor will I give anyone favors.For your appointment, a valid Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport is required.
