Do you take cash or card?
CASH ONLY. The only time I take card is for deposits.
Do you take deposits?
Yes! All my deposit info can be found in my highlights.
How much do you charge?
For smaller one-session pieces, I will give you a flat rate once I have all the info I need in order to do so. For longer multi-session pieces, I will go by the hour, and my hourly rate is $140. Also keep in mind I work with budgets!
Do you do touch ups?
For my own work, absolutely. They’re even free within the first year! For others work, it depends. The best thing to do is send me a good clear picture of what you’re wanting touched up and I can see what I can do!
Do you tattoo minors?
Nope! 18+ with a valid form of ID only.
How much would (insert random tattoo idea here) cost?
I can quote you as long as you provide me with the proper info. Such as: Size (approx) in inches, placement on the body, and what style you’d like it in. Again, I work with budgets! So if you include that, I can let you know if it’s doable or not and discuss options.
Do you do cover ups?
Only if I’m confident in my ability to do so. The best thing to do is send me a nice, clear picture of what you’re wanting covered up and its measurements. I may ask to see it in person first. I can let you know what options you may have.
Do you tattoo melanated skin?
Of course! Unfortunately I don’t have many examples at the moment, but I’m always happy to tattoo on any skin tone and I’d love to do more!
How should I prepare for my appointment? How should I take care of my tattoo?
All of my before/aftercare info can be found in my highlights! 🙂
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.
Where are you located?
The End Times Electric Tattoo Co.
4144 S. Lone Pine Ave
Springfield, MO
Would you ever travel to (insert location here)?
I travel occasionally for conventions and guest spots, so maybe! If there’s ever enough demand for me in one area, I’d be more open to going there, so definitely let me know. I post travel updates in my ‘travel’ highlight, so keep an eye out!
How far in advance do you book?
I normally only book 1-3 months out when my books are open. When I’m completely full for that booking period, I will close my books until the next period.
When will your books open up again?
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.
How much would a sleeve cost/how long would it take?
There is no set price or time for sleeves, it all depends on subject matter, style, size, etc. The best way to start a sleeve is to set up a consultation with me so we can discuss ideas. From there I will have a better idea of how long it might take. Sleeves will take multiple sessions (spaced out at least 3-4 weeks apart to allow healing), so if you have a budget per session I can work with you that way! We can also space out the sessions as much as needed. I can let you know what’s doable within your budget or time goals. Just send me your ideas on my booking form and we can go from there!
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!
