There are a lot of factors that go into booking, so I appreciate you taking the time to read over this. It will help streamline the process and make it easier and quicker for both of us, especially since I do all my booking myself. I appreciate your patience in advance!

Step 1: Check my booking status!

If there's a form available on this page, then my books are open! 

I only close my books once I’ve filled up my schedule for 2-3 months in advance, that way I can focus more on just drawing/prepping/tattooing. If my books are closed, just keep an eye out on my insta or facebook, I will post updates leading up to the next round of booking.

If you are just needing a touch up or are wanting a small piece, don’t be afraid to just send me a DM or an email (inkbyjordi@gmail.com). Sometimes I can squeeze stuff in!

Step 2: Have an idea!

Have an idea of what you want! If you aren’t completely sure or have any questions before booking, feel free to send me a DM. Here are some things to keep in mind that I’ll need to know for you to book:

Placement: Where the tattoo will be located. I will need to know if I’ll be working around other pieces. A picture of the desired placement is super helpful!

Size: A rough estimate in inches works best! If you can’t take an exact measurement, you can say roughly palm-sized, hand-sized, copy paper-sized or bigger. Measurements work best though!

Style: Do you want black and gray or color? Save some reference pics of other tats I’ve done and posted and let me know what you like about them as well as random inspo pics so I can get a feel for what you like aesthetically.

Budget: I work with budgets! If you have one, let me know and we can discuss options. I’d much rather figure something out with you financially and give you the tattoo you want then to not get to work with you at all!

​

Can I see my design beforehand?

I usually draw in order of appointment and usually just a day or two before. That way I can keep things fresh in my mind before I tattoo it. I also just prefer not to send designs beforehand due to theft and it being difficult to communicate over text. I always make sure to leave enough time during your appointment to go over the design and make any changes then, when we can discuss face to face! That’s why it’s super important to be clear and specific about what you’re wanting. If you’re uncomfy with this, ask me for a consultation before your appointment! 

Do I need to have something drawn out? Do you draw the tattoos?

I draw everything custom. So if all you have are ideas, I’m happy to design something unique for you once you book! You absolutely do not need to have a finalized design ready, and even if you do, I will re-draw it since I’ll be tattooing with my techniques in mind. With that being said, it is still very helpful to me if you send pictures of things similar to what you’re wanting or even just stuff in the style you like - so we’re able to be on the same page and I can have a better idea of what you like aesthetically! Also a rough sketch/mock up is helpful if you have a more specific idea, but not required!

Do you do consultations?
Yes, and they are free! If you are wanting to do a bigger piece, I may ask you to come in for one. If you’d like one, just ask! Please keep in mind I work random hours though, so we would need to coordinate a time in order for you to come in.

(See my FAQ page for more commonly asked questions!)

Step 3: Submit a form!

Click the link in my bio and fill out the form! I will get back with you within 1-3 days to let you know if and when I’m able to get you in, and any questions I have regarding your idea. If I am able to give you a date I will wait for you to confirm and send you the deposit info. Once it’s paid, you’re good to go!

Step 4: Prepare for your appointment!

- Check out my before and aftercare page!

- If you have a longer session I suggest bringing a blanket, and snacks/drinks. The building is usually on the cooler side.

- 1 person max for guests please! Also children are not allowed in the shop so I suggest arranging child care if needed.

- If you are on any antibiotics let me know and we can reschedule.

- If you feel sick at all/might still be sick please let me know and we can reschedule. I'd much rather reschedule one person rather than get sick myself and have to reschedule a bunch of people!

- Please touch bases with me via email or instagram at least a week before your appointment if you have any concerns about design or have any other reference pics/info you'd like to share with me.

A friendly reminder:

As much as I’d love to tattoo everyone who wants something from me, I’m only one person!

I run everything myself - communication, scheduling, marketing, finances, supply, prep, drawing, AND tattooing. Not to mention my own personal responsibilities.

That being said, I couldn’t do any of this without your support, so I appreciate the heck out of ya and look forward to working with you!
