How much do you charge?
My minimum is $120. Pricing is based off of detail, size, color, and placement. Generally, palm sized tattoos are $250-$350 and hand sized tattoos are $350-$500. Almost all of my work is set at a flat rate unless it’s a larger project then I’ll use an hourly of $165/hr.
Do I need to give a deposit?
Yes, I ask all my clients to leave a non-refundable $100 deposit upon booking their appointments. This is to secure your date/time and will be credited towards the final cost of your tattoo. If you need to reschedule, please let me know within 48 hours of your appointment time for your deposit to be honored. In the case of a no show/cancellation, your deposit will be forfeited and you’ll have to leave another one to book again. Deposits are valid for up to 4 months and no more than 2 reschedules.
When can I see a sketch?
Your design will be ready for you on the day of your appointment. Typically, I have 2 tattoos per day to draw for. So I don’t have spare time to draw for a tattoo further out than my next clients. I appreciate the trust that comes with the booking process. If any small changes need to be made, we can discuss that in person on the day of your tattoo.
Where are you located?
I tattoo out of Nine Lives LA in the heart of Chinatown, right off the 110 and 101 freeways
Do you do coverups or rework other tattoos?
Yes! For reworks and cover ups please email me photos of your tattoo so I can see what we’re working with at emilythetattooer@gmail.com . For cover ups keep in mind that the new tattoo will need to be 2-3x larger than what you had before, and using color helps by a lot!
Do you accept card or PayPal?
Deposits are sent through Zelle and the rest is cash only
