Booking an appointment.
Hello! Thank you for wanting to get a tattoo from me and putting trust in my artistry. This is about creating an experience that’s personal, comfortable, and memorable. Every piece is crafted with intention, and I take the time to ensure that the process feels as unique as you are.!
For longer sessions, feel free to bring headphones if you want to get lost in music or a podcast. I work with a light touch and do my best to minimize any discomfort, ensuring that you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Inquiries.
Please inquire via email, scoriomoontattoo@gmail.com or follow the booking link on the “book” button, and check your email frequently. If I give a date for potential booking please try to respond within 48 hours as I have many inquiries and dates go quickly.
Please provide a comprehensive description of what you are wanting including; style, placement, rough estimate of size, picture of area, and any references (from pinterest or of other work that I have done).
I do not do big cover ups or re-works of another person’s work. This will be on a case by case basis. I do not do inside the finger tattoos, I also don’t tattoo throat or neck but I do behind the ear. I will be prioritizing more intricate and bigger pieces and styles of illustrative/realistic black and grey. I do not tattoo color with the exception of pops of red. If you’re inquiry doesn’t match my style I will kindly send you to someone who could really do well at that style.
I work Monday through Friday starting at 11:30am. I don’t tattoo past 6pm, and I do not work weekends.
I will try my best to respond to emails within 48 hours, but I don’t work weekends so please give extra time over weekends.
Your appointment will not be confirmed until I receive a confirmation email and deposit.
If you are in need of urgently getting a hold of me you can send a DM to instagram, at @scorpio.moon.tattoo
Pricing.
My rate is $175 per hour. This includes stencil time but not printing time. If you have any changes to design those can be handled day-of. If you have a change of mind on the entire design (such as something new entirely) less than 48 hours before your appointment I will have to charge for drawing time.
Of course any time will be taken off the total for water snack breaks and if there is anything on my part such as equipment or printer issues.
My minimum is $150 for pieces that take less than an hour. Any font/script is $175 minimum. :)
I will try my best to relate the price range to you of what I predict the tattoo might cost. However, this is difficult to get accurate not knowing how the design will lay on the body until day-of appointment.
Flash and “available designs” will always come out to be slightly less than custom work. I upcharge $50 to the final cost for ribcage, stomach and $25 for behind the ear.
Payment.
Day of appointment I only accept cash. If the total is below $250 I can accept Venmo or card. There is a 4% upcharge for using cards.
I take a $50 to $100 deposit. Venmo is @scorpiomoontattoo.

Deposit will still apply to the tattoo if needing to reschedule. I understand that life happens, if you are sick or wake up not feeling well just send me a text or DM, no worries. Please don’t come into the studio if you are sick. Besides illness, PLEASE try to reschedule appointments with more than 48 hour notice so I am able to fill the spot.
Deposit will be kept and no longer apply if you cancel the appointment, or rescheduling day of or night before for unknown reason.
If you reschedule twice the deposit will also be kept.
Please understand that this is my livelihood and full time job, without your appointments I don’t make an income.
Day of tattoo.
Please do not drink alcohol the night before OR day of your appointment. Get plenty of rest and hydrate 24 hours before your tattoo. Bring a water bottle and snacks, we do not provide those.
Wear loose clothing for easy access to the area to be tattoo’d. If you’re getting a sternum or rib piece please bring pasties or a bathing suite. If you are getting an upper thigh tattoo bring an extra pair of spandex or loose shorts. DON’T WEAR WHITE CLOTHING.
Please arrive on time, DM if running late. If you are coming from out of town this is helpful for me to know. Please do not set timely plans on the day of your tattoo, some tattoos take longer than expected and this is not a process we want to rush.
You are welcome to bring a friend or loved one to the appointment but please limit to one extra person as we don’t have many chairs or space. Children are NOT allowed in the tattoo shop. If you have an infant that is not walking yet you are welcome to have them attended by an adult in the waiting room. The tattoo shop is full of expensive art, sharp objects, and is a sanitary environment. Please respect this.
