TATTOO APPOINTMENT FORM

INTERESTED IN GETTING TATTOOED?

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION GIVEN AND FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW.

Thank you for your interest in getting tattooed by me. I enjoy creating fully custom neotraditional tattoos. All rates include the cost of drawing, tattooing, lidocaine products, and all dermal bandages for aftercare. All rates are based on the size of the design. There are slightly different rates for full color tattoos and black and gray tattoos.

The first size is a small to medium size rate of $800 for color tattoos, or $700 for black and gray tattoos which is for palm size to hand size, or smaller tattoos done in one sitting.

Small to Medium Size Examples ($800 or $700 done in one sitting):

- softball sized back of calf tattoo

- outer deltoid shoulder tattoo

- hand tattoo including knuckle coverage

- softball sized inner bicep tattoo

- softball sized random placement gap filler tattoo

The second size is a large size rate of $1500 for color tattoos, or $1300 for black and gray tattoos which is for larger full outer forearm, full length of outer calf, or top of the thigh sized tattoos done in one sitting.

Large Size Examples ($1500 or $1300 done in one sitting):

- side of the neck tattoo

- inner or outer thigh tattoo (outer thigh may be two sittings depending on size of leg)

- inner or outer upper arm tattoo (upper outer arm may be two sittings depending on size of arm)

- inner or outer forearm tattoo

- knee tattoo

- full length of calf tattoo or shin tattoo

The third size is a multiple session tattoo rate of $1500/session for extra large multiple session color tattoo projects, or $1300/session for extra large multiple session black and gray tattoo projects such as chest pieces, back pieces, sleeves, and anything large enough to require more than one sitting. I listed estimated number of sittings below. The time it takes to complete large projects depends on whether it is a smaller or larger person receiving the tattoo. People come in all shapes and sizes, and I welcome every person of every shape, size, and background to come get a rad tattoo from me! Simply keep in mind that with tattooing it’s about the area being tattooed and how much area you wish to cover. I am typically able to give a total project cost estimate after having a consult with you.

Multiple Session Project Examples ($1500 or $1300 per sitting until completed):

- arm or leg sleeve - 5 to 7 sittings - $6500 to $10500

- arm or leg half sleeve - 3 to 4 sittings - $3900 to $6000 (generally less time for forearm and calf half sleeves as opposed to upper arm or thigh half sleeves)

- chest piece or throat sleeve - 3 to 4 sittings - $3900 to $6000

- back piece or full torso tattoo - 5 to 7 sittings - $6500 to $10500

If you have any other pricing questions for specific placements, feel free to include that in the form below and I’ll be happy to answer your questions. I am more than happy to do full color tattoos or black and gray tattoos. You can also expect to see the artwork the day before the appointment. The more creative freedom you give me, the happier you and I will both be with the end result. I work efficiently and am a fairly fast tattooer for the style I work in which is why I charge by the session and not by the hour. I also like to be able to let my clients know the final cost as accurately as I can prior to our appointment. Tattooing is an art but it is also an experience and especially when you invest in a long day, I want you to have a good experience. I work out of a private studio location, and can fully guarantee a SAFE SPACE always. There is never any rushing the process and always time for breaks and food etc. Regardless of the option you select, I strive to make my clients as comfortable as possible. I provide all of the needed dermal bandages for each session as well as the dermal bandages for you to change into the following morning. I also provide lidocaine for shading/color. I expect you to be prepared for pain, but I get no pleasure from putting you through more than you can handle. I can guarantee a comfortable environment and supportive experience throughout. I provide water, Gatorade, and small snacks. I also have a refrigerator and microwave in the studio for your convenience. I do not charge extra for taking breaks or needing to eat. Deposits for small to medium, and large rates are $100, are not refundable, and go toward the final cost. Deposits for multiple session tattoos are $300, are not refundable, and go towards the final cost on our last session. I guarantee my work and regardless of what option you select, touch ups are always free should anything need it once it is fully healed. Most tattoos do not require a touch up if properly taken care of, but life happens and a cat scratch or accidental bump to the tattoo during the healing process is nothing we can’t fix. Do the best you can, and I’m always here for healing/aftercare questions.

Cash is preferred for all deposits, as well for your remaining balance the day of your appointment.

My BOOKS ARE NOW OPEN. Please be patient with anticipating a response as I respond to inquiries in the order they are received. I am booking for MARCH 2025. I also do consultations for most larger projects to properly map the area as well as to get on the same page with each client, so expect me to schedule that as well if you have a larger project in mind. To be sure that my reply does not go to your spam folder, please add travisbrucetattoos@gmail.com to your contacts list.

I do NOT take on every tattoo inquiry that comes my way as I have a specific style I like to work with so depending on what you are wanting to get done and the freedom allowed, I may or may not take you on as a client. However, I may be able to help guide you in the right direction towards an artist that may be a better fit for you. I do not take on reworks of other artist’s work and very rarely take on coverups depending on the freedom given and the need to go much larger in order to properly cover. Any coverup requests without a picture of the existing tattoo won’t be accepted. I also try to fill my books with my own available predrawn designs which you can find posted on Instagram under my AVAILABLE designs highlight. Subject matter I love tattooing includes animals, lady faces, birds, snakes, skulls, flowers, leaves, organic imagery, or anything done in a neotraditional style that I can have a lot of freedom with. Please feel free to include any additional questions you may have about coordinating schedules, traveling to be tattooed, or any concerns you may have prior to being tattooed. Thank you for your support, patience, and understanding always.

WHEN BOOKS ARE OPEN, I WILL TYPICALLY REACH OUT TO YOU WITHIN 24-72 HOURS.
