Please read the frequently asked questions below to see if you can easily find an answer to what you are looking for before email. Please understand, I do not tattoo everything, nor Do I want to.   This by no means should be taken as disrespect as I'm sure you have a great idea for your tattoo. I simply want to ensure my clients are getting the best tattoo possible and I choose to work in styles that I know I can deliver the best product with confidence.  in an effort to further my own art, at this time I am not taking any tattoo requests in which I do not have 100% creative freedom on the design. Meaning you give me your idea and I will design the tattoo. exceptions will be made for portraits. Please keep in mind I tend to work on large scale designs (full panel pieces).  

 

Interested in tattooing the following subject matter: 

- Floral (realism in color or black and grey)

- Anime/Manga (realism or illustrative in color or black and grey)

- Sports players (realism in color or black ang grey) 

- Pop Culture (realism/ portraits/ illustrative/ mixed styles in color or black and grey)

- line work/ engraving style ( minimal to zero  shading, primarily just line work)

​

I am not, nor will I ever, be interested in tattooing anything tribal. please do not ask. 

​

​

How can I contact you? 
To make sure I get your message, please email me.  I do respond to Instagram messages when I can, but it's not guaranteed.  I do have a facebook account, however I'm never on it so I won't see any messages sent via facebook.  If you're looking for an appointment, please complete the form below. 

​

Will you do my cover-up? 

Yes and no.  Cover-up tattoos should have as much dark value laser removed as possible.   If you choose not to get laser removal, you must have an open mind in terms of style and placement.  Almost anything is able to be covered, but in the end taking on a cover-up tattoo is at my discretion. 

​

Can you finish my tattoo? 

I do not finish other tattoo artists work.  

​

Can you fix my tattoo? 

Probably, however I do not finish other tattoo artists work and not everything is fixable.  I always highly recommend checking out a tattoo artists portfolio before sitting down in their chair. 

​

Can I get a touch-up? 

Of course.  I guarantee my work and do free touch-ups within the first 3 months of your last appointment.  After 3 months, full rate applies to any touch-up..  A touch-up of someone else's work is not a touch-up. It's a new tattoo.  I would recommend reaching out to the original artist for help. 

​

Can you color in my tattoo? 

If I didn't do the line work, the answer is no, as this would be finishing another artists work.  If I did do the line work, of course, contact me below so we can get you schedule for another session. 

​

How can I get an appointment? 

If you're interested in a pop culture character tattoo, anime/ manga or realistic flower, please visit my booking page and follow the instructions provided. If you're interested in something else and/or you want to collaborate on a design with me, complete the form below in its entirety with as much detail as possible and I will reach out to you with available dates.   You will need to leave a security deposit to secure a day and time.  Cash deposits can be made at the studio.  If you are unable to stop at the studio because of distance, deposits can be made via PayPal or Venmo. No deposit means no appointment.  Deposits are credited towards the final cost of the last session of the tattoo. At this time, I am not taking any tattoo requests that I do not have 100% creative freedom on design. 

​

How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment? 

Life happens, I get it.  Reach out to me via email.  As long as you email me more than 48 hours before your appointment, your deposit is fully refundable.  Less than 48 hours prior to your appointment and your deposit is forfeit for any and every reason, and you will need to come by the shop and leave another deposit to reschedule your appointment.  Nothing personal as I'm sure you have a valid reason; however my time is just as valuable as yours. 

​

​

Why does my tattoo cost more at a convention? 

Your tattoo will cost more at a convention because I have to pay for a flight, hotel and a booth at the convention. the increase in pricing allows me to make the accommodations.  Please keep in mind I live where everyone wants to vacation/holiday (Florida). the shiop is 15 mins from beaches that are rated best in the US and 1.5 hrs from Disney/Universal.  You can always schedule your tattoo at my studio and put the money you would save into a vacation for yourself... just don't get sunburned!!!

​

Where are you located? 

I own and operate Classic Ink Tattoo Studio in downtown Bradenton, FL. 

​

Are you coming to a convention close to me? 
Check my Travel dates for a city near you. 

​

When is your next opening? 

I generally am booking 1-2 months at a time.  It's easier to manage and not so overwhelming. I schedule appointments based on what I feel is the most creative, interesting and fun idea.  I love tattooing all things comic book, movie, tv, video game and anime. 

 

How do I get on a cancellation list? 

I don't have one.  If I do get a cancelation, I will usually post design ideas of tattoos that interest me on social media that will be up for grabs, usually at a discounted rate.

​

What do you tattoo? 

I tattoo comic book, movie, tv, anime, and video game themed tattoos in realism, neotraditional or comic book style.  This is what excites me and allows me to be most creative.  I do occasionally take on more traditional themes such as gypsies, gods and goddesses, and/or flowers in neotraditional or realism as well.  I am never interested in tattooing tribal or arm bands, however we do have multiple artists at classic Ink Tattoo Studio that can assist you with your needs.
