Tattoo applicAtion

before submitting your apPlication:

To ensure I’m the best tattoo artist for you, please consider the following:

  • My process may not be the right fit for everyone, so please keep this in mind before booking

  • I’ll show you your design at your appointment. Minor changes can be made then if needed, but if you’d like major changes, we may need to book a new appointment and another retainer fee will apply.

  • When reaching out via email, please provide clear details about your tattoo idea.

  • Be sure to check my portfolio to get a feel for the kind of work I do. I create unique tattoos in my own personal style, and the design you see will be the best possible version I can create of your vision.

I’m happy to use your reference images as inspiration, but I won’t copy tattoos or artwork by other artists.* Please avoid sending AI generated reference images.

Outside of my own style, I will also tattoo text, handwriting, common symbols, pop culture characters, and children’s drawings.

If you have other questions, please check out my studio info here or email tattoos[@]melissamartell.com.
