TATTOO FAQ

1. When are your books open?

As of now, my books are always “open”, meaning I am always accepting new clients and creating appointments. This may change in the future as I increase the amount of appointments I feel comfortable booking in a month. To find out the best way to book an appointment with me, visit the Book With Me page.

2. Why did my tattoo request get denied?

There are a few reasons your tattoo request might have been denied. If your request does not match the styles or concepts that I specialize in or am trying to add to my portfolio, I will most likely turn it down. I want to do the best work I can for each client and if there is a certain style or concept requested that I do not feel comfortable doing, it may result in a lower quality tattoo. I am always happy to refer you to an artist that may specialize in what it is that you’re looking for! Your request may also be denied if the form is not properly filled out or if there is not enough information provided for me to create a design for you. On a more rare occasion, your tattoo request may be denied if your budget is too far off from what I would charge for the tattoo you are requesting.

3. What is a deposit/ how does it work?

Deposits are basically a safety net for me to make sure I am being paid for the design process and to get a portion of the payment up front in case a client does not show up or cancels last minute. As of now, my deposit is $50-100 and comes off the total price of the tattoo. This deposit, once sent to me, is not refundable. If you are 30 minutes late or more to your appointment with no notice, your deposit will be kept. You can decide to reschedule your appointment, but at that point, I will require another deposit.

4. How do you price your work/ what is your hourly rate?

I currently charge by size, detail, and placement of tattoo. My rates are subject to change at any point in my career as I feel my experience and quality of work reflects. There is a shop minimum of $100, regardless of size of tattoo. If you have any questions or concerns about my pricing or would like to receive a quote before filling out a booking form, please reach out to me via email at kieramassitattoos@gmail.com.

5. What payment methods do you accept?

I accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle, although I highly prefer cash if possible! I do not accept card, cash app, or PayPal, unfortunately. If you do not have access to cash, Venmo, or Zelle, communicate with me before your appointment and we can work something out!

6. Will you sketch up ideas/designs for me?

I do not sketch up anything until an appointment has been set and I receive a deposit from you. I do this for a few reasons! When I’m not tattooing, I am drawing designs for clients that I have already booked, so I don’t have too much time for drawing other things. I also do it to protect my artwork and to make sure that I am being paid for my work. The deposit is what guarantees I will be compensated for the drawing process even if you cancel or reschedule your appointment.

7. Will you send me the design before the day of the appointment?

Unfortunately, I do not send designs before you arrive for your appointment. I do this to protect my artwork but also because, due to my schedule, I don’t usually draw your design until the day before or morning of our appointment. However, I do allow plenty of time during our appointment to make any desired changes to the design!
