FAQ

Once we have a consultation to discuss the scope and details of your idea I can provide a ballpark estimate of cost. Please keep in mind that quoting tattoo time is not an exact science and a quote is an ESTIMATE of how long your piece will take to complete. Complexity of design, level of detail, style, size, and subject matter all factor into how long a tattoo will take to finish.

I only charge for the actual tattoo time(The amount of time I am in the chair tattooing you), kind of like a taxi. I keep track via a timer on my power supply. If/when we take a break, I pause the timer & start it again once we resume. I’ve found that this way keeps things fair.

Many tattoos require hours of drawing prior to the appointment. Putting down a deposit shows that you are serious about getting the tattoo and are going to show up when I set aside the time in my schedule & work on your design.

TATTOO APPOINTMENTS: I require a $100 deposit. The deposit is not an extra charge! Your deposit will be deducted from the overall cost of your tattoo on the day of your appointment. Deposits can be paid when you schedule your appointment online or in person at the studio. DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE!

SLEEVES/ BIG PROJECTS: I require a $500 Deposit to begin a big project. I do this for a few reasons…

1. Sleeves & other big projects are a process that require multiple sessions & lots of time. It is a journey we embark on together that demands a serious commitment of both our time and energy. A large deposit encourages a client to give more serious consideration to what they are signing up for before starting a big project.

2. Allows client to set up 5 consecutive appointments on my schedule at the same time. This helps keep the project moving at a regular pace between sessions once we get started.

I paid my deposit and booked my appointment, when can I see my design?:

This is where the saying “Trust your Artist” comes in… I do my best to take good notes & get a good grasp of your concept during the consultation so that I arrive at something you will enjoy. I understand the excitement and eagerness to see your tattoo design, however…

I DO NOT send designs over the internet or text prior to the appointment. My deadline is the day & time of your scheduled appointment, NOT BEFORE.

What I come up with for you is by no means a take it or leave it scenario. I am happy to make any desired changes during your scheduled appointment time.

HOW DO I CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT?:

NO SHOWS: If you no-show your appointment without notifying me. Your deposit will be forfeit & A new deposit will be required to book another appointment.

I care about the quality of my work, sometimes a touch-up is needed to address any issues that may arise after it heals. ( i.e. A line didn't take well or you accidentally scraped it on something and that spot didn't heal right.) For all of my tattoos, I offer ONE FREE TOUCH-UP within 6 MONTHS of getting the tattoo. No questions asked, just contact me to set up an appointment.

“Awaiting Fulfillment” means that we have your order in our queue to be pulled/printed and shipped. Once we ship your order shipped out, the status will be changed to “Shipped” and we will send you a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number so you can track your order on the USPS website.

Because we print everything on-demand, it typically takes us between 2-5 business days to complete orders and get them shipped out. If you’re ever curious about the status of a shipped order, you can contact us at info@volitionarts.com but you would probably have more luck by contacting your local USPS directly. Once an order is shipped, the only way we have to track where an order goes is through the USPS tracking number, so they will usually have more information.
