BOOKING

If you’re looking to get a tattoo from Rene, please read the information below carefully

Describe your tattoo idea in full detail, and the location on your body where you would like the tattoo.
Attach the images that you would like to use for reference.
Please also send a photo of the location on your body where you would like the tattoo done (no weird angles).
Rene will show you the finalized design the day of the appointment.

Our standard rate is $150 per hour, Rene usually works on big pieces so any design 2hrs or less will be at a minimum of $300.
Rene does not charge for stencil time/editing design or any breaks taken during our tattoo session only actual tattoo time, so expect to be here an additional 2-3hrs.
Larger projects such as full sleeves, back pieces, and others may take 4 to 10 sessions depending on variables such as skin type, the size, detail of the tattoo, and other factors not listed here. There is no way to guarantee the exact amount of sessions a tattoo will take upfront – every project and person is unique.
Touch ups are free for the first 6months (if needed) after your tattoo has been completed.

Payments are due immediately at the end of each session. The remaining balance can be paid by cash or card only.
A deposit is necessary to secure your appointment – this is $200. Deposits are non-refundable for any reason whatsoever. The deposit serves to reserve all your booking dates and will be applied to the final tattoo session if the project requires multiple sessions. If it is a single session, it will be applied to that instead.
If there are lots of changes to be made Rene will reschedule you for his next available date, you will not lose your deposit.
If you need to change the date of your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, you must let us know at least 3 days prior to the session so we can rearrange our schedules. You can reschedule your appointment only once without loosing your deposit. A new deposit will be required to continue working together if you cancel or reschedule with less than 3 days’ notice.

The tattoo session will usually start at 11am, Rene books appointments Monday-Saturdays.
Please do NOT drink any caffeine the day of your appointment & NO alcohol for several days prior to your session – this may cause excessive bleeding during the session and cause an issue with the healing process.
Make sure to be well-rested before coming into the appointment and eat a meal beforehand to prevent low blood sugar issues.
Make sure to wear comfortable clothing (black if you don't want possible ink stains) – if you’re getting a tattoo on your arm, a tank top or sleeveless t-shirt will be helpful – if you’re getting a tattoo on your leg - it’s better to wear shorts.
If you are late, you must inform us via email. If you are more than 25 minutes late without any notification, the session will be canceled without any refund.
If you do not show up for the appointment - you lose your deposit and we will not be able to work together in the future.
