…if you would like to set an appointment, come into the shop, bring references and ideas, and a cash deposit that will go toward the price of the tattoo…if the tattoo you want is a chest plate, rib piece, a half sleeve, or smaller, then the deposit will be for $125.oo…if you are looking for a full sleeve, then the deposit will be $250.oo…if you are interested in a full back piece or larger, the deposit will be $500.oo…all deposits will come off the very last session of the tattoo, as most of the work we do is larger scale, custom pieces, at the rate of $125 an hour, with a two hour minimum…artists at studio evoLve are usually booked at least a month in advance…if you live far away and cannot make it into the shop for a consultation, then the way this usually works is that you can send us an email with attachments of references and ideas for what it is that you are wanting to get done. we can then set an appointment via email or telephone....once we establish a date and time to get started, you’ll send a money order as a deposit which will be used on your last tattoo session…unfortunately, if you choose to not show up without canceling or rescheduling within 24 hours, you will lose your deposit to cover the cost of drawing time and missed income...thanks for your interest, please let us know how you would like to move forward, take care and be well…
