booking form

currently, i work SUNDAY, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY from 12-6 at PRETTY IN INK in OAKLAND, CA. i don’t have plans to return to the east coast right now, but hope to be back sometime in the winter.

if you’re feeling ready to request a tattoo, here’s the place to do it! custom and flash requests are both processed through this form. before submitting, please be certain you’ve read my deposit policy and other info.

i do my best to get back to all clients in a timely manner, but i do currently manage my bookings alone in addition to tattooing full time, and things can slip past me. if over a week passes after submitting without a reply from me, feel free to follow up at booking@theogoblin.ink

please check your spam folder first, as the squarespace replies do occasionally get routed there!

please be absolutely certain that you fill out every section as i cannot book you without all of this info.

what studio is this booking request for?

i've been hopping around to a lot of guest spots lately, so knowing what studio you're requesting for is necessary!

tattoo concept

please be as detailed as possible, including style, color vs. black and gray, elements that absolutely should or should not be included, and any specific inspiration. if you’re open to artistic freedom, please specify that here and specify to what degree. if you have any stylistic references, feel free to send them to booking@theogoblin.ink with your name and email after submitting your form.

location on body

if you’re not sure, you can say that! please also specify if the design is a gap-filler or is working around existing tattoos. if it is working over or around existing work (or if you have a unique or very specific placement in mind), please send photos of the area to booking@theogoblin.ink with your name and email after submitting your form.

size (in inches)

if you’re not sure, you can say that! however, without an accurate size in inches, i cannot provide a quote in advance. additionally, if you change the size of the design day-of, that may change the price. please do not use objects as size reference. i cannot use “iphone sized” or “hand sized” as an accurate reference.

is this a coverup?

if it is, please send well-lit photos of the tattoo to be covered to booking@theogoblin.ink with your name and email after submitting your form. ideally, have someone else take these photos from 2-3 feet away with the body at rest.

yes.

is this a flash piece or one of my pre-drawn designs?

if so, please describe which one.

budget

please either specify a dollar amount or range, as well as if that's strict or flexible, OR let me know if you don't have a budget in mind! to keep things simple for me and you, i treat your budget as the quote. this doesn't mean i will automatically charge the top end of your budget, but it does mean that i have more freedom in designing and making changes as appointments approach and that i can accomodate changes day-of without surprise price changes.

weekly availability

i currently work at PIINK oakland SUNDAY, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY from 12-6. i occasionally take early appointments starting at 10 am, and i occasionally work saturdays. i currently book on a month-long rolling basis, meaning i take appointments for the next 30 days, but no further in advance. please understand that my weekends often book out weeks in advance, and sometimes i have no remaining weekend availability for my booking period. if you are at all able to book a weekday—please do!

have you read and agree to my deposit policy and booking info?

yes.

no, but i’m going back to do it right now.

do you have any allergies or relevant medical conditions?

this includes to things you might not think are relevant, such as peanuts, latex, or lavender. please let me know if you have any severe allergies. please know that any chronic or acute skin conditions, both active and healing, can affect my ability to tattoo an area. i cannot tattoo over any amount of sunburn that is not fully healed—meaning no peeling, shininess, or remaining redness. i also cannot tattoo you if you are currently on antibiotics or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

do you have any accessibility needs you’d like me to be aware of?

this can include things like how you would be comfortable being positioned for a tattoo, parking needs, and volume restrictions. PIINK oakland is fully wheelchair accessible, including our restroom. if you have any specific access needs, please let me know!
