HOW TO REQUEST A TATTOO APPOINTMENT

First and foremost, thank you for reaching out and choosing Shade & Light for your tattoo. This page is where we are going to talk seriously, the booking process may seem inflexible or complicated, but it is necessary due to the fact that this is a private studio that is by appointment only. Please read thoroughly and check out the FAQ page. Thank you again! 

To make the process more efficient for everyone, if you do not follow the instructions for booking, your email will be deleted without a reply.

​

In your email, please include:

• A description of the tattoo design you want

• Approximate size and dimensions. in inches

• Placement (which body part and where on that part)

• Any reference images (knowing that I will not copy an exact image, but to use as a reference point of what you like visually in terms of style, color, coverage, etc.) 

​​

If your email does not contain this information about your tattoo, you will not receive a reply.

​

You emailed, now what?

I get a large volume of emails (so thankful for the love) that I respond to when I am not working directly with clients. Emails are answered in the order in which they are received, it is not uncommon to wait up to a week for a reply (I am only one person). I do my best to reply in a timely manner to everyone who follows booking instructions. Ready to book? just tap the "get in touch" button at the top of the page.  

​

Thank you again for reaching out! I would love to help you with your Artistic vision and bringing it to life for you. 

​

There is a deposit needed to book an appointment. This is a non-refundable deposit. The deposit holds your appointment in the book and is a deposit on the artwork being created for your tattoo.
