Sketchbook design vs custom work
Flash design:
The easiest way to get an appointment with me is by claiming one of my original pre drawn flash designs. You can claim a design by HERE or by simply messaging me the page number on Instagram. From there, I’ll reach out via email or Instagram with my deposit info, and appointment date to get you in.
All designs are first come, first serve; and also won’t be replicated. So once a design is tattooed, it’s gone forever!
Custom work:
This is where I can create something original based off an idea you have! Feel free to use past designs/tattoos I’ve done as reference, but please do not send me photos of tattoos/artwork done by others. The more creative freedom I have with your idea, the better chances of you not only getting in my books, but also having an all around, better looking tattoo. If I feel like I’d be the right artist for your idea, I’ll reach out to you (via email), and find an appointment date to get you in for your tattoo.
A $100 deposit is required to book custom appointments once a date has been determined.(via Paypal/Venmo). You will be given a 2 day (48 hour) window to leave your deposit. If you do not send your deposit within this timeframe, the date discussed will no longer be available and your submission will no longer be valid.
All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Your deposit will come off the total price at the end of your tattoo. The remainder can be paid at the time of completion in cash or by PayPal/Venmo. For larger multi-session projects, the deposit will come off the final session of the piece.
HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?
HERE IS SOME INFO TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR TATTOO!
Before you arrive:
-Eat a decent sized meal before you arrive to the shop. You are more than welcome to bring a couple light snacks and water to your appointment as well.
-STAY HYDRATED! Drink plenty of fluids
-Bring a photo ID/passport
The studio:
Nostromo Tattoo Studio
1567 N. Telegraph
Pontiac,MI. 48340
We are a private studio and appointment only.
I do not send photos of artwork out. Your drawing will be available to view day of the appointment. If any minor changes needed to be made, would be done before we start the tattoo. Major changes may result in a reschedule and/or additional deposit.
I have a 20 minute grace period that I will wait for a client - if you are going to be late, please contact me by email or the phone number I texted you from. If you’re later than 20 minutes without notice that counts as a no-call/no-show and you forfeit your deposit and appointment.
If you need to reschedule, I must be given a minimum of 48 hours notice by email. From there, I will contact you before the next booking cycle to reschedule. If you do not follow up within 48 hours, I will consider your deposit forfeited.
*please try to keep emails in the same thread. Sending new emails every time, causes my account to get messy and will more than likely get lost in the mix.
Aftercare
Healing your tattoo with-
Opsite flex fit (clear adhesive bandage):
-this bandage can be left on for 6 days.
-you’ll start to notice fluid that builds up under the bandage. It’ll look gross but this is normal and what is helping heal your new tattoo!
-Once you are ready to remove the bandage; (I recommend taking your bandage off in the shower.) lift a top corner of the bandage and pull away from your body.
-Wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and water, and allow the tattoo to air dry.
-After your tattoo is cleaned up, feel free to use unscented lotion or a thin layer of your favorite tattoo ointment
_______________________
Healing your tattoo-“the old fashioned” way:
-wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap and water, and allow the tattoo to air dry.
-After your tattoo is cleaned up, please use unscented lotion or a thin layer of your favorite tattoo ointment.
-repeat this process a couple times a day for 2 weeks.
*Either way of aftercare you choose, I would recommend avoiding the sun and submerging the tattoo in water until it’s completely healed. (2-3weeks)
