FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
THANK YOU FOR BOOKING YOUR NEXT PIECE OF ART WITH TATTOO 665.
Here’s what happens next with the design process. We ask that you send us a detailed brief by email to info@tattoo665.com and include the following information:
- Detailed description of the design along with any reference images to show style.
- Placement on body and a photo of the area (especially if there are surrounding tattoos)
- Rough size estimate in cms
- Colour or Black & Grey
Your brief will be passed over to your artist who will contact you directly closer to your appointmemt and discuss any final details. Most consultations are done virtually, however you are most welcome to call into the studio to meet your artist and check out the space before hand.
When will my design be ready?
The designs are ready for the day of your appointment. Rest assured this still leaves time for any small changes to be made before the work begins on the day. Trust the process, you are in great hands.
Why can't I see the design before the day?
It’s common practice across the industry for artists not to share designs. A complex drawing can take many hours to design and can often still be in progress right up to the evening of your appointment. Some artists chose not to send their work to reduce the risk of copyright breaches and designs being stolen.
Can you Tattoo a design that I bring in?
It depends on the design and its origin. If it’s something you or a friend have drawn, or a common pop culture figure we absolutely can. If it’s a tattoo that someone else has or from another artists page, we will not copy the design. We can work with you on a custom design along a similar theme, but we will not copy another artists’ work.
How much will it cost?
Rates vary between artist and can range from $150 – $250 per hour or $1000 – $1500 for a full day. Check with your artist beforehand for a cost estimate.
Can I bring a friend with me?
We know it’s nice to have emotional support when getting tattooed so we will always try to accomodate space for a friend, however we can’t always guarantee we have the room. Check in with the studio a few days before your session and we can check if this is possible based on capacity limits.
How long will the Tattoo take to heal?
Tattoo healing process times vary on size of tattoo, placement on body and whether it’s colour or black and grey. It can take anywhere between 1 – 5 weeks to fully heal. We will talk you through the healing process specific to your tattoo on the day of your appointment. You can also purchase tattoo aftercare products in-store which helps with the healing process.
Do you accept Card or Cash Only?
We do accept card payments in store, however some artists prefer cash payments where possible. It’s best to check with your artist directly (especially for a big piece or a full day booking)
Deposits for bookings
All appointments require a deposit to hold the booking. You will receive an email from Square which will include a link to pay your deposit. We ask you pay the deposit promptly to ensure your booking is finalised. If your deposit is unpaid after 3 days from making your booking, the appointment will auto-cancel and you will need to contact the studio to make a new booking. Deposits are deducted from the total cost on the day of your appointment.
