Booking preference:

I only book first time appointments through my booking form or booking online through the service page. If you are an established client: I will reach out to you through already established means, but I would appreciate moving solely to text or email!

​

When booking for the first time through my Booking Form or through the Booking Service Page I will ask for your full name, working phone number, and a description of the tattoo you want. Include any inspiration photos, concepts, and styles you like as well. Please include a rough size estimate (ex: 4x4 inches) and location with a photo in the form.

 

​If you want to book an in-person or online consultation let me know through the form! I will also reach out to you if I feel it is necessary to book a consultation. 

 

I DO tattoo face tattoos, but I will not be the artist to put the first one on your face unless you work or plan on working in a field where it will not affect your career.

​​​

I DO NOT tattoo other tattoo artist's work. If you want that tattoo and are unwilling to have me redraw it to be original or inspired by that piece, then I will refuse service.

 

I DO NOT tattoo genitalia, but I will tattoo around it.

 

I DO NOT tattoo names/initials of partners (under 10 years together or married less than 5 years)

​​

If you are on a budget let me know! I don't want to add stress to the process, and I will take it into consideration and give you your options.

 

If you want a custom tattoo and trust me but aren't sure what you want: just send me a bunch of images and subjects and I will create something for you!

​

These prices are added in addition to the final price of any tattoos that are applied whether it was charged using my hourly rate or as a whole. These spots either require more time, safety, precautions, or all of the above to ensure the comfortability for both parties and quality of the work and longevity of the piece.
​

For a tattoo around the genital area I will reach out to you regarding necessary precautions and prep you are required to adhere to before your appointment.

​

FLASH TATTOO & CLAIMING​

All one-time flash designs are priced at $90/hr unless otherwise priced.

Claim flash online at my website at bekartz.com  or if its flash posted on my socials reach out to me through there or through email/text to claim.

Repeatable flash has a flat price and any changes in size or design add onto the final price of the piece.

Once 1-1 flash designs are purchased/claimed, you must fill out my flash tattoo booking form under my contact page with the receipt of the flash claimed and a screenshot of the design.

If I don't receive the completed form within a week of claiming, then the design goes back up for sale.

 

In addition: if the tattoo is not booked and deposit paid within 2 weeks after the form is completed, then you forfeit the claim, and the design goes back up for sale.

​

APPOINTMENT INFO:

I book 12pm(noon) or 5pm appointments for small and medium sized pieces. For large and/or session pieces I prefer to book 12-1pm appointments. (I will make exceptions for certain cases*). 

 

*Only when there is no other reasonable way for the client to book a 12 or 1pm appointment*

​

I offer ONE free touch-up per tattoo up to a year after the tattoo is finished. Any additional touch-ups are at half my hourly rate. IF it needs a touch-up due to negligent aftercare just be honest with me and I can work with it and give it some extra T.L.C to bring your tattoo back to its former glory!

 

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:

​

• Stay hydrated: regularly drink water for 48 hours and right before your appointment. ​

• Keep your skin clean and lotion (THIN LAYER twice daily, make sure it fully absorbs into the skin) for a week before you come for your appointment. Exfoliate gently the day before your appointment if you so choose.

• Don't lotion the day of your appointment unless you have specific skin conditions.​

• DON’T SHAVE PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT-- to avoid irritation, infection, and razor burn; I will shave the procedure area at the appointment.​

NUMBING CREAM POLICY

I don’t recommend numbing cream for a tattoo except under these circumstances: 

1. You cannot sit for more than an hour in the chair

2. It is an extremely sensitive area for the tattoo

3. You have nerve issues and increased skin sensitivity

4. It is a piece with a lot of heavy black work, color, or a blackout piece

5. The tattoo is going over scar tissue

 

If it comes down to using numbing cream, please contact me for recommendations and do a patch test with the numbing cream 48 hours prior to your appointment. 

​

*Be aware that there are extra side effects and risk factors to take into consideration with the use of numbing cream*

 

If you do use numbing cream after my approval, apply it in a thick layer over and around the area that will be tattooed 2 hours before your appointment. Wrap and secure in with cling wrap and tape if need be. 

 

Who shouldn't use numbing cream:

If you have any heart issues, defects, arrhythmias, other heart problems, methemoglobinemia or any blood disorders or family history of blood disorders, those with lidocaine or other numbing agent allergies.

 

If you don’t know if you are allergic to lidocaine or other numbing agents or never used numbing cream before, consult your doctor before considering this option. 

​

Numbing cream brand recommendation:​

Dr. Numb 4% Lidocaine Cream - Maximum Strength Pain Reliever with Vitamin E (don’t use anything over 4%!)

 

Make sure you get it from a reputable seller to avoid fake products and knockoffs.

​

I offer numbing spray for short-term relief during the tattoo as well if it gets to that point.
