Frequently Asked Questions
-
Reach out through our contact form or email and we’ll set up a consultation to talk about your desired design.
-
My current rate is $120/ hr. For flash and pre-drawn designs I will either provide a reduced hourly rate or a flat rate depending on scale and complexity.
-
A $120 deposit is required to book an appointment, which will be deducted from the final cost of the tattoo at the end of the session.
A $200 deposit will be required for any large scale work such as sleeves, back pieces etc.
For multiple session tattoos the deposit will be rolled over and then deducted from the cost of the final session.
All deposits are non-refundable in case of cancellation for any reason, be sure you’re ready before booking the tattoo.
Deposits are not transferable to other projects or other people, a new deposit is required to begin a new project or if you change your mind on your current project.
Please be sure of what you want before booking.
-
CASH is PREFERRED, but I also accept Venmo/ CashApp or Card. All digital transactions will include a 7.63% Albuquerque sales tax, which is why I recommend bringing cash.
-
Reschedules need a minimum of 24 hour notice, otherwise deposit will be forfeit, and a new deposit will be required to rebook.
-
Flash and pre-drawn designs can be booked in much faster than custom work. View my pre-drawn designs on my Flash page or in my Instagram highlights.
-
Designs will not be sent out prior to appointment time. If any edits need to be made, they will be made the day of your tattoo appointment. If large edits need to be made we will reschedule for a different date. If the entire design needs to be redrawn then a new deposit will be required to cover drawing time.
-
Bring headphones for phone browsing, please do not play your phone out loud during our session.
Only 1 friend is allowed to bring to your tattoo session, but for long sessions I suggest you come alone. Watching someone get tattooed for hours upon hours is very boring and there is no comfortable seating for visitors.
-
No vaping or smoking is allowed inside, but you may step outside during breaks.
-
I will NOT replicate existing tattoos or copy any other artist’s work, nor will I tattoo AI generated imagery. You’re coming to me for real human art, AI has no part in this timeless process. Also, please refrain from sending AI imagery as part of references.
Any racist/ sexist/ disrespectful remarks will NOT be tolerated. Aces Tattoo is a professional business where everyone should feel safe and respected during their visits.
I will NOT tattoo significant other/partner/boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband names. I WILL tattoo family members' names, such as son/daughter/father/mother etc.
I will NOT tattoo hate speech, racist imagery or any other derogatory/ hateful themes.
