Please fully read the following information as it will help to inform you regarding my most recent policies and answer my most commonly asked questions.
Day of Consultation:
In person consultations:
You can find my studio, Gentle Biscuits, at 2 S Second Street, Richmond, Va 23219
Please bring any reference material you would like, and be prepared for me to take photos or a tracing. Wearing loose clothing helps.
We’ll chat about your design, take photos or tracings, and I’ll answer any questions you might have. I like to collaborate with my clients so please don’t hesitate to let me know your preferences.
Once we’re all set, we’ll set your deposit and schedule appointment(s).
Phone consultations:
When the day comes for us to chat, I Will call you at the number you provided, typically right on time.
I will likely ask you to provide photos of the area you're wanting to get tattooed. Please take your photos ahead of time, so that you are able to text them to me at the time of your consultation.
Please take your photos in a brightly lit area, as straight on as possible. Please don't take photos in a mirror, and if needed, have someone help you.
If we need to meet in person for a tracing I will schedule a time with you on the phone at the time of your initial consultation.
If you have reference images or links, please be prepared to text them during our consultation.
If you are phone adverse, please let me know and I am happy to accommodate you via text rather than a phone call.
Rates & Payments:
My rate is $200 an hour. I will gladly give you a cost estimate during your consultation if requested.
I try to stick to a three-hour minimum, but I understand this does not apply to every tattoo.
Please do not be deterred as I am always happy to discuss working within budgets.
Deposits & Cancellations:
Deposits are set at $200, and are non-refundable.
All appointments require a non-refundable $200 deposit. Your deposit is deducted upon completion of your project.
Deposit payments are made when your first appointment is scheduled. Your deposit goes towards the final session of your tattoo.
4 days' notice is required to reschedule an appointment, or the fee will be forfeit and a new one will need to be placed in order to reschedule.
If more than one reschedule is requested over the course of a project, the fee will be forfeit and a new one will need to be placed in order to reschedule.
Scheduling & Availability:
I currently offer appointments on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Consultations are offered on Sunday mornings.
Designs:
Designs are ONLY provided and available on the date of your first appointment to allow for life and workload balance.
