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.*

*The only exceptions are 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.
