Located at Brootal Ink Tattoos, Crystal River FL
As of Feb 16th, I will be at the shop Mon-Friday 11am-5pm.
When emailing me for tattoo pricing or appointment please have any reference photos, budget, size in inches, placement, your availability, color or black and grey, and Venmo or PayPal ready to go. This makes our conversation go much faster and that means you get tattooed faster!
Tattoo concepts that are either things within my personal want to tattoo list, or my own designs always receive priority when booking.
Concepts that receive priority
-Animals
-People/Lady faces
-Pop Culture/Video Game references
-Mythology
-Weaponry
-Fantasy inspired
-Occult/magic(k)al
-Floral
Pricing
My rate is $100/hr. Simple tattoos that takes less than an hour will be priced by the piece. Our shop minimum is $50.
Size, placement and intricacy are all factors into the tattoo pricing. I generally work pretty quickly and I can give you a time estimate on how long I believe a piece will take.
If you have a price range you are trying to stay within, please communicate that to me so I can better design something that fits within that range. Please note that you may have to cut details within the tattoo design or sizing to fit your specific budget needs.
Deposit
A non-refundable $50 deposit is required for ALL appointments. This deposit comes off the price of your tattoo day of or last session if it is a multi-sessional piece. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to reschedule your appointment and deposit. I allow up to two reschedules before the deposit is forfeited. If you are sick, please email me asap to reschedule your appointment! I understand not everyone will be well enough to reschedule that day, but I do not hold deposits indefinitely. Please reschedule at your soonest convenience. In the untimely event I fall ill or my child, I will reach out to you via email/phone call and reschedule. Your deposit is still valid, and you will be given top priority rescheduling.
The deposit can be made payable by PayPal or Venmo. Please ensure you are able to make the deposit through either means before contacting me about an appointment! This helps speed up the booking process and ensures you can snag a spot quickly.
No Call or No Show
If for some reason you cannot make your appointment, please reach out asap. This way I can free up that time space to offer it to someone else. If you ghost your appointment, you will be required to place a deposit of 50% of the time block. Two no call no shows will result in termination of you as a client. There are no exceptions. I take my time seriously for all my clients and I ask they do the same. This isn’t a hobby, this is my livlihood and how I feed my family. I ask for open communication that you can expect from me as well.
Design
Reference photos help me understand your vision, but please do not ask me to replicate or steal another artists work. Ultimately I will design something custom for you that no one else has. Stealing other artists work is tacky and getting someone else’s tattoo on you is weird.
If you like my work then you will like what I have designed!
I do not send drawings out ahead of time. This prevents theft and also give me the opportunity to explain the design in person. This ensures we are all on the same page. Rarely, a client may want their design tweaked. Seeing the design day of also allows us to make any changes necessary. We will never start until you are completely happy!
Concept changes need to be discussed before your appointment. I book out for the time needed to complete the originally agreed design, and concept changes could alter the time needed to complete your piece. If you have booked out a long session (a piece requiring 3 hours or more) and the design change was not communicated before the appointment time, you will forfeit your deposit in exchange for the time wasted. This ensures I am being compensated for the time that was booked out for you and any drawing time that was done in my spare time. A new $50 deposit will be required to reschedule.
Before booking, ensure that you know exactly what you want. This way we can avoid canceling and rescheduling or loss of deposit.
Pre drawn Designs
While I do custom work, I also have a book of predrawn, ready to go designs. Each piece has a fixed size and location it fits best on. These designs are already drawn up, usually with a color concept laid out. With these designs there are no changes to the concept as these are usually portfolio specific pieces.
Each piece will be at a flat price, no matter how long it takes.
Appointment Day
Please show up to your appointment time as scheduled. (Not 30 minutes before, not 30 minutes after) If you are running late, please call the shop to notify me! After 20 minutes late with no notice, I treat it as a no call no show.
When prepping for your appointment, eat a nutritious meal prior to arriving. Bring a sugary snack or drink to help you through the tattoo process. Do not apply any sort of numbing cream to the area without communicating with me first. Please dress accordingly to your appointment. Save your favorite outfit for another day as ink splatter can happen. I also need easy access to the area that I am to tattoo. If you are unsure of what to wear, let me know! We have an open floor plan at the shop with no private rooms. I do my best to help keep your modesty but please keep this in mind when requesting tattoos close to intimate areas.
Minors 16 and 17
I follow all guidelines in place by the state of Florida and Citrus County Health Department. As it states, all minors must obtain a notary form and have that form signed and sealed by a notary with their legal guardian present. This must be done PRIOR to the appointment.
Come appointment time, all minors must bring a valid ID along with their guardian that is on the notary form with their valid ID (ex. If mom’s name is on the form, mom must show in person to the appointment, bring her ID and stay the duration. Dad cannot sub out as his name is not on the form) There are absolutely no exceptions.
I do not tattoo minors necks, hands, or intimate areas.
Tipping
While never required, they let us know of a job well done, like all service jobs. Tattooing is no different. Industry standard is roughly 15-25% of the total cost of the tattoo. Your deposit goes towards the total cost of the tattoo day of or off the last session if its a multisession piece. It is NOT a separate fee. If you want to tip industry standard, it’s the whole amount you paid, not just the remaining balance!
However, this is purely a tattooed collector’s standard. Any and ALL tips (including ones that aren’t monetary) are very much appreciated!
Travel
Due to Covid-19 and a new baby, travel plans have been put on hold. All conventions have been canceled for the rest of 2020 and 2021 seems hopeful but we all know that can change quickly. For these reasons I currently have no solid travel plans for 2021. Please check back soon as I hope to start traveling again!
