FAQs

Do you offer consultations?

Yes! Most of the time, the information you provide in your booking form and the ensuing discussion will be sufficient. However, for larger or more complex projects, or simply if you prefer it, I offer free consultations. These will last 15-20 minutes and will be held in person at the studio.

How do I contact you?

If you would like to schedule an appointment, please fill out the booking form found here. For all other inquiries, please email me at andrewgtattoos@gmail.com

How much do you charge?

I charge an hourly rate of $250/hr, with a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 7 hours.

Which payment methods do you accept?

I can accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, and credit/debit cards (with a 3% fee)

Can I use numbing cream?

I have found that the use of numbing cream leads to less desirable healed results, and have made the choice not to work with it. I also find that almost all of my clients do just fine without it. Please do not apply numbing cream prior to your appointment, or it will be rescheduled.

Can I bring a friend?

If you feel that it would make the experience more comfortable for you, you may bring one person for support. I will do my best, but can’t guarantee they will be able to sit with you the entire time. Depending on how busy the shop is, they may have to stay in the waiting area. Please make other arrangements for childcare, and do not bring children.

Can I bring my pet?

Due to health department regulations, pets are not allowed in the studio space. ADA approved service animals are welcome.

What if I need a touch up?

I take great pride in my work and want you to be happy with the result. If you feel that you need a touch up within the first year, I will gladly do it at no cost. It is very important to follow the aftercare instructions as best you can. If you did not follow the aftercare instructions and that is the reason for the touch up, I reserve the right to charge up to my normal hourly rate. Please let the tattoo heal for 4-6 weeks before requesting a touch up.

Can I see the design before my appointment?

Prior to your appointment, we will go over all the information that I’ll need in order to design your tattoo. When you arrive to your appointment, we will be able to make small changes to the design together, if necessary, and then only start once we’re both in agreement. For a number of reasons, I do not send the design beforehand, and it’s an important part of my process that it’s done this way.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?

•  If you must reschedule, please give at least 72 hours notice, and I will transfer your deposit to a new date. 

•  If you need to reschedule multiple times, or reschedule within 72 hours of the appointment, I will request a new deposit and the original deposit will be used as a cancellation fee.

•  If you choose to cancel your appointment and give proper notice, I will gladly work with you again in the future. We can start the process over with a new deposit and a new appointment.

•  No call no shows will not be rescheduled

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, I ask for a non-refundable deposit for each appointment, which goes towards the total cost of the tattoo. The amount may vary based on the size of the project.
