Thanks for looking! The primary place to receive up to date information about when and how to submit a booking request is my newsletter. I like to be thorough with each individuals unique ideas and that takes significant time and focus. This is the system that works best for me to stay organized and in a healthy relationship to this work. I am currently working through a back log of multi-session projects with existing clients and will try my best to get into a routine with booking cycles after that is more complete. My intention is to engage in the consult and booking process every 3-4 months.
I will likely not be able to accept all projects during a round of booking. You can absolutely submit your info again for the next round. I accept projects based on what seems like the best fit for my skills and the clarity of the information in the email.
FAQ: info about booking process and pricing:
The Perfect Timing Tattoo Studio is located at 174 River Street in Montpelier, Vermont. The space is on the second floor and is an appointment only studio.
If you submit a request during a booking period and I accept your project I will send you an email to schedule a consult date. At this point it is most often a zoom video consult but we can discuss if an in person chat at the shop makes more sense. Consults typically take 30-40 minutes and there is no charge. At the time of your consult we will schedule your tattoo appointment(s)
For custom design pieces I ask for a non-refundable Drawing Deposit of $75 that can be paid via venmo @hilaryannlovestudio or I can send you a square invoice via email.
I try my best to draw sketches in time for a little back and forth review process where you can give feedback and we work out adjustments. Usually I'm able to be in touch with that 1-2 days before the appointment.
I really like making art. I want to come up with the best looking design I am capable of and I take time to try and create with that in mind every time I collaborate with someone. It is also really important for me to get a sense that you are sure and happy with the artwork as well as informed about what you will experience in a tattoo session. It is your body and I am committed to making sure you feel heard, seen and informed about the tattoo process.
I create unique custom artwork for each client as well as tattoos from my own collection of flash designs. I occasionally agree to tattoo pre-designed artwork from another source. I decide if that will work on a case by case basis.
Most often I will not choose to use color in the tattoo design. If you have your heart set on significant color ink in the design please take a minute to look at my portfolio on instagram or my website so you have an idea of what my style and strengths are @hilaryannlovetattoos
My rate is $150/hour. I can roughly estimate the timing to expect on a design as soon as we confirm size and placement. I'm always open to working within your budget. Please share whatever concerns you have and I can help guide you through choices about the artwork that can help the project stay within your financial goals.
