 Amount of sessions needed will vary depending on the size and complexity of the piece. Numbing cream and aftercare products sold separately.  

Flash design pricing:

Flash designs and “Up for grabs” ideas are all quoted at a flat rate. New designs are always posted to our social media, on my Flash Friday story and in my “Booking and Updates“ channel on Instagram! If you are interested in claiming a specific design, but would like to book a consultation to make sure, please reach out through email or send in a booking request through my home page. 

Deposits are non-refundable payments meant to hold your appointment spot. For projects that require multiple sessions to complete, a deposit will be needed to hold each appointment date.

Minimum amount for a deposit is $100 to hold your spot. 

Please note that your deposit will come off the price of your tattoo session.  

The nonrefundable deposit is 25% of the total estimated quoted price, or the minimum deposit ($100.) 

(example: $720 half day would require $180 deposit )

(example: $1,440 full day would require $360 deposit )

Deposits can be made through Venmo, Zelle, Cashapp, or given in cash during your consultation. You will be sent a text reminder detailing the info required to hold your appointment slot.  If a reschedule is needed, please give your artist at least 24-48 hours notice. If there has been a no call/no show your deposit will be forfeited. Minor design changes will be allowed within reason. Major design changes may result in a reschedule and a new deposit will be required.

Messages are answered by our trusted assistant, Lindsay through email only. Please beware of Instagram scammers! I do not accept DMs, and I will never reach out directly via Venmo OR Paypal. All correspondence is done through email from Deadkaylietattoo@gmail.com. Please remember, a request does not guarantee an appointment. Each request is reviewed thoroughly by my assistant, to ensure I am the right artist for the piece. If you feel your request might have gotten lost, please reach out once more through my ‘book here’ section on the home page. Clients are welcome to message me with inquiries regarding aftercare, product recommendations, or tattoo photos. 

Please wear clothing that is comfortable for you, that can also be easily adjusted to reach your tattoo. Make sure to come well rested, hydrated and fed before your tattoo. You are welcome to bring a drink, snacks, blankets, headphones, books, and up to one friend or family member. Please do not bring children or pets to the shop.

The first touch up is free within a year of receiving your tattoo. If it has been over a year or longer I will charge for my time. 

In Washington state it is illegal for an artist to tattoo a person under 18, even with parental consent. 

Consultations are scheduled before each tattoo so that I get a chance to meet the client, gauge the size of the tattoo and estimate the time it will take. During this time we can discuss further details about the design, and I can answer any questions you might have about the process! 

Flash Fridays are typically a monthly event. You can find available designs to claim that are updated every week in my Flash Friday highlight! A 15% discounted rate is applied to ALL designs in this category. Discount is applied before tax, see day rates for details.  (Discount only applies to designs within Flash Friday highlight.) 

I am appointment only, for all custom and flash tattoos. If I do have last-minute availability, it will always be posted on my Instagram page. 

If there is an emergency, please let me know through email: Deadkaylietattoo@gmail.com. Please do not arrive more than 15min late, as it will be counted as a no-show and your deposit will be forfeited. 

You can submit a request directly through my booking form on the home page! Please only submit one request at a time, it will be processed by my assistant and I. Please allow 2-4 days for your confirmation- our response times can vary. If you are getting a tattoo with a friend, partner or family member please submit one request each. 

Your design will be available for viewing and any minor changes on the day of the appointment. For large projects, a second consultation may be set to go over size, pricing, placement and other details to ensure that I am the right artist for the piece. You will not be charged for any consultation. 

Books are open for January-March 2025.
