it’s good to ask questions! here’s some answers ⋆⭒˚.⋆

booking & consultations

how do I book an appointment?

all bookings go directly to me through my contact information— e-mail jordy@jorjorpinks.com or DM on instagram @jorjorpink. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. sometimes it can take me a little while to answer, i try to have a reply time of 1-3 days.

do you require a consultation first?

for larger or custom pieces, it is recommended to book a consultation. they’re free and consultations can help us get on the same page if the idea is difficult to explain with typing.

is a deposit required?

yes, in most cases a small deposit of $50 is required to secure your spot. it goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. deposits are non-refundable, but can be transferred if you reschedule with sufficient notice.

pricing & payment

How much do you charge?

my minimum is $100. i charge $100/hour.

What payment methods do you accept?

i accept cash, Venmo, CashApp and Zelle.

design process

can I bring my own design?

i’m happy to create a design from your ideas or reference images ^-^. i won’t tattoo another artist’s work unless we have permission to do so. please understand that if i feel i am not the right artist for the tattoo, i will recommend you to another artist. i want to make sure your work comes out right, so if i think someone else is more qualified, i will decline.

will I see the design before the appointment?

yes, i typically send designs a day or two before your appointment. small tweaks are okay—but if you want big changes, we may need to reschedule to allow enough time.

preparing for your appointment

what should I do before getting tattooed?

it is recommended that you eat a good meal, are sufficiently hydrated, and avoid alcohol or blood thinners for at least 24 hours before your appointment. moisurizing your skin is a good idea too because healthy skin tattoos and heals best :)

should I shave the area?

i’ll take care of it for you. i never expect someone to have shaved, but if we’re tattooing a super hairy area (i.e. head) then a trim is nice. I am only armed with a single use 3 razor guy, so use your discretion.

what should I wear?

wear something comfy that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. ink can stain so keep that in mind!

aftercare

how do I take care of my tattoo?

i’ll walk you through the details at the end of your session and send you home with written instructions. but, in short, keep your tattoo clean, dry (no swimming), and moisterized (A&D ointment). no picking, pealing, or rubbing. healing typically takes 1-2 weeks. wear sunscreen for longevity of your tattoo!

health & safety

do you tattoo minors?

no, you must be 18 or older, with valid ID, no exceptions. <3 teenage me hated this, but it really is for your benefit and to protect you.

i heard about people being allergic to tattoos, what’s that about?

it is possible to be allergic to tattoos. it is pretty uncommon, affecting about 1 in 1000 people (accord to university of utah). a tattoo allergy looks like this: redness, bumps, raised skin, itchiness. it is localized and flares ups can be random, but are linked to over sun exposure after the tattoo is fully healed. some swelling and redness is normal directly after getting your tattoo, itchiness is normal too when healing, but an allergy will have the tattooed area itching and raised after the healing time. also, some people are allergic to colored ink. the pigment can fall out or get itchy. there is no way to test for this preprocedure. (this inflammation response actually happens to me sometimes, but only to one of my tattoos lol)

rescheduling & cancellations

can I reschedule?

sure, just give me at least 48 hours’ notice and your deposit will carry over. last-minute cancellations will result in a forfeited deposit.

touch-ups

what if my tattoo needs a touch up?

i am a human person and so imperfections can happen, and that’s okay u_u if you come back to me, the touch up is free. however if the touch up is caused by neglect, it may incur a small fee as proper aftercare is important and your responsibility.
