Under normal circumstances, I book each month during the middle of the month prior. I currently only book up to 6 weeks out. All updates will be posted on my Instagram (@dawn.tattoos). Please do not DM me about booking. Sometimes I also have forms for flash or my waitlist linked above as well that you can fill out even when my books are technically closed as I will use them to schedule people on a rolling basis. (If there is no link to a form, I am not actively booking)

*If you’re planning to travel from out of state to get tattooed, let me know about 2 months beforehand so that I can try my best to find a timeslot that will work with your travel plans!

What I love or am interested in tattooing: Large scale single species floral/botanical, animals, big cats (tigers, cheetahs, all except lions), ladies/lady heads, portraits, bugs, reptiles, large birds, fish, skulls/bones, vases, fish/marine life, interesting objects, ornamental patterns/folk art, and illustrative realism

What I’m not interested in tattooing: quotes/script/text, anything geometric, most landscapes, trees, mountains, space-themed pieces, mandalas, bouquets/floral pieces with more than 2 types of flowers, color tattoos, copies of other tattooers’ work, tiny tattoos, and minimalist tattoos

My minimum is $200. I generally charge by the piece rather than by the hour. For large work that takes 3 hours or more I charge $200/hour.

For everything else, I charge by size, placement, difficulty of the design, and time tattooing. We can discuss a price range when you inquire as well. Usually my work comes out to around $250-350 for palm size and about $400-600 for hand size tattoos, unless the tattoo falls into the micro-realistic/fineline style as they take a long time to finish. Portraits start at $500 and range from $500-1000.

No. Since I get lots of requests, I book based on what I’m most interested in tattooing. Take a peek at my work to get an idea of what I enjoy tattooing. I only respond to inquiries that I am able to schedule. I generally respond within 7 days. If you don’t hear back, it means I cannot accommodate your idea this booking period. When I am booking for flash, the process is more automated and you can book a tattoo by simply paying a deposit on Wisteriatattoo.com or by filling out the form linked above when I have appointments available.

Yes! I take a fairly small fraction of requests each month. If you aren’t chosen it may be because of a wide range of factors (ex. availability, too many requests for the same thing). If you request the same thing 3 times and don’t get an appointment, I recommend requesting a different idea.

I will email you with a time slot that you have 48 hours to either accept or reject. If the time offered doesn’t work, we can try to find a different slot that does. You will have to pay an $100 deposit to secure your appointment within 48 hours of confirming that the time and day work for you. Otherwise, the time slot will be offered to the next person. You are not scheduled until I receive a deposit.

The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. It holds your time slot and gets deducted from the final cost of the tattoo. You may be asked for a larger deposit for larger tattoos. If you arrive over 15 minutes late, your deposit will not be deducted from the cost of your tattoo, and there is a chance you will have to be rescheduled and put down another deposit to do so. If you need to reschedule within 48 hours of your appointment, you will also have to put down another deposit to do so. Lastly, If you no-call, no-show, you will not be able to re-book. Deposits expire after 1 year. You may reschedule up to 2 times.

I don’t show designs until your appointment time to avoid having my custom work copied. Changes may be made then and time is alloted to do so for every appointment. If you want a full re-draw, we may have to reschedule. It’s possible that you will have to put down another deposit if your requested changes vary dramatically from your original idea. Please be succinct, and specific with what you want in your inquiry. If you change your tattoo concept completely after paying a deposit, your appointment may be cancelled if the new one is not something I’m interested in tattooing.

Check my Instagram highlights for pre-drawn designs that you can get tattooed (if there isn’t any, there is no flash currently up for grabs).

Some of these will only be tattooed on one person, and some will be re-used. In the case of the former, I will remove the flash once claimed. Flash prices depend on size and placement, but are generally priced the same as detailed above.

Flash ALWAYS takes priority for appointments over custom work.

Touch-ups are always free in the first year after your tattoo. After that, I charge a $50 setup fee so please try to schedule a touch-up within a year of your tattoo if needed. Feel free to email me at any time to schedule one.

Rarely yes, but only if the client is willing to potentially see hints of the tattoo underneath as my work involves a lot of open skin/negative space. You must be willing to get something significantly larger, be flexible on the subject matter, and realistic about the outcome. Otherwise, I will recommend a few laser removal sessions before doing a coverup.
