FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IF YOUR BOOKS ARE CLOSED?
I UNFOURTUNATLY DO NOT HAVE A WAIT LIST. I WILL POST WHEN MY BOOKS REOPEN ON MY INSTAGRAM (@BENVIOLETTETATTOOS) BE PAITENT AND REACH OUT WHEN I POST THAT I AM SCHEDULING.
HOW DO I BOOK WITH YOU?
SEE THE TATTOO REQUEST FORM ON THIS WEBPAGE UNDER TATTOO REQUEST FORM I WILL GET BACK TO YOU VIA EMAIL USUALLY WITHIN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. PREPARE TO PAY A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF 50% VIA VENMO (@SAYLORINK-TATTOO) ONCE WE BEGIN THE BOOKING PROCESS.
CAN I HAVE AN IN-PERSON CONSULTATION?
I WILL INFORM YOU IF I NEED YOU TO COME IN FOR A CONSULT (USUALLY FOR COVER-UPS OR SLEEVE-WORK ONLY) MOST CONSULTS WILL BE DONE VIA EMAIL AND I MAY REQUEST PHOTOS OF THE AREA YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET TATTOOED. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE TATTOO AT THE TIME OF YOUR CONSULTATION, BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO DO SO, A 50% DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED TO HOLD YOUR APPOINTMENT. THE DEPOSIT WILL COME OFF OF THE COST OF YOUR SESSION.
HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
MY RATE IS $150/HR, WITH A MINIMUM OF $100. AFTER I HAVE YOUR DESIGN DRAWN UP I CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER ESTIMATE ON COST. NOTE* I DO NOT DRAW UP ANYTHING AHEAD OF TIME. EXPECT TO SEE YOUR DESIGN THE DAY BEFORE OR MORNING OF VIA EMAIL.
WHEN CAN I SEE MY DESIGN?
YOU WILL SEE YOUR CONCEPT THE DAY BEFORE OR THE MORNING OF YOUR APPOINTMENT. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, WE CAN MAKE THEM EASILY VIA EMAIL. MY ARTWORK IS DRAWN DIGITALLY AND AM ABLE TO MAKE SIMPLE CHANGES RELATIVELY QUICKLY.
WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE MY APPOINTMENT?
I REQUIRE AT LEAST A 48 HOUR NOTICE FOR ALL APPOINTMENT CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULES. ANYTHING UNDER 48 HOURS WILL RESULT IN A FORFEITURE OF YOUR DEPOSIT. *
YOU ARE ALLOWED ONE RESCHEDULE.
ALL DESIGNS AND ARTWORK DESIGNED FOR AN APPOINTMENT ARE THE CREATIVE PROPERTY OF MYSELF. IF AN APPOINTMENT IS MISSED WITHOUT THE STANDARD 48 HOUR NOTICE, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TATTOO IT ON SOMEONE ELSE. I WILL, OF COURSE, DETERMINE THIS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER, MYSELF AND MY CLIENTS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RE-SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE DEPOSIT WILL BE TRANSFERABLE TO AN AGREED-UPON LATER DATE.
*DEPOSITS ARE ALWAYS NON-TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN CLIENTELE.
WHAT FORM OF PAYMENTS DO YOU ACCEPT?
OUR SHOP IS CURRENTLY CASH CARD AND TAP PAY FOR IN PERSON PAYMENTS. VENMO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR SCHEDULING VIA EMAIL. (@SAYLORINK-TATTOO) PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT PREPARED WITH THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF FUNDS FOR THE REMAINDING BALANCE.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT IT IS IDEAL FOR YOU TO MOISTURIZE THE AREA IN WHICH THE TATTOO WILL BE APPLIED DAILY. I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND DRINKING A LOT OF WATER THE WEEK LEADING UP TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. BOTH OF THESE HABITS MAKE IT MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO TATTOO, WHICH MEANS LESS TIME IN THE CHAIR FOR YOU! GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT. DO NOT CONSUME DRUGS OR ALCOHOL THE NIGHT BEFORE OR DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT. EAT WITHIN TWO HOURS OF GETTING TATTOOED. BRING SNACKS AND WATER IF IT IS A TATTOO THAT WILL TAKE OVER AN HOUR.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I AM LOCATED AT SAYLORINK TATTOO LOCATED AT 261 WATERSTREET AUGUSTA, ME. 04330
