​
I require a deposit to set the date for any tattoo, it goes towards the total cost and comes out on the final session. I also have a minimum of $100 no matter how small the tattoo may be.
You can book through the 'CONTACT' page on this site, or via email at juliamckaytat242@gmail.com
​
Please be prepared with your general idea, location of the tattoo, color or black and grey preference, and have styles and tattoo references ready.
My address is 434 Simmons Street NW and it's a studio that's a part of the Views on Fifth building in downtown Olympia.
​
Please see the CONTACT page for an exact location and more detail.
Appointment Prep
I always send an email out the day or two ahead of the scheduled appointment as a reminder and with a draft. I DO NOT send drafts any earlier and they are usually in the 'rough' stage. This is your opportunity to make any minor adjustments or requests, if it's major, we may have to reschedule the appointment.
​
I request that clients eat ahead of time, ensure they have cash ready, and bring their ID. You are always welcome to bring snacks, beverages, headphones, books, even a friend, anything that you need to be comfortable and happy during your appointment.
​
Lastly, please be sure you don't drink too heavily the night before, DO NOT use any numbing cream, and take a shower (always best to be clean for a tattoo appointment).
Healing
Every artist has their preferred way to heal up a tattoo and some clients even have the way that works best for them.
​
I use Dermor for the "second-skin" healing or I use meat pads with athletic wrap for the more traditional way. I have forms with lots of detailed information that I hand out to clients and you can also find those
