How do I book a tattoo with you?

You can book here on my website or through this link: https://venue.ink/@lucyvagabond. To make this process seamless please include information like sizing, placement and any reference material you might have.

How much is a tattoo?

My minimum charge is $150

My hourly rate for flash is $150

My hourly rate for custom work is $180

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash is preferred but I also have a card reader.

How do deposits work?

Deposits are non-refundable. However I will honour them for up to a year.

Deposits are either $55 or $110 depending on the size of the tattoo.

The deposit comes off of the remaining amount of the last appointment. There are two circumstances that you will be required to send a new deposit:

1) Last minute (48 hours minimum) cancellations; Sometimes you will need to reschedule your appointment and that is totally fine. I just need as much heads up as possible to accommodate losing any time slots I had set aside for you.

2) Complete design switches for big custom pieces; I am happy to adjust the design that has been already discussed to an extent. If it is a completely new idea, it is a new deposit.

How far out are you booking? 

My books are always open. I can't see more than 3 months ahead.

What can I do to prepare for my upcoming tattoo?

Hydration is a big one. Try to drink as much water as you can at least a few days before your appointment. Eat a big meal before you get here. Avoid too much caffeine or alcohol. Bring snacks, drinks and feel free to bring headphones if you have a long day booked with me. Unless you are used to shaving bodies, please don't shave for me before hand, I will do that when you get here.

Exercise and sun exposure after my tattoo appointment?

It is best to avoid both of these while the tattoo is healing. Plan for potentially 10 days to 2 weeks of healing time. For a more thorough run down on after care instructions head to my aftercare page.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, but they will have to wait quietly in our welcome area which means no listening to videos on their phone. So they might want to bring a book.

For both locations there are lots of cafes and nice walks that your friend can go to whilst we are doing the tattoo if they are the restless kind of friend that needs entertainment 🙃

Can I get tattooed if I am under 18?

Unfortunately, no. I will not tattoo anyone underage, even with parental consent.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, it is always worth popping by to see if I have time. I usually will find time if it is for flash!
