At Shadow and Needle Tattoo, every piece is personal.
Your appointment isn’t just a slot on the calendar—it’s a collaboration. Because of that, appointments are not confirmed until we’ve had a conversation over email to discuss your idea, design details, and session needs.

How to Book
Fill Out the Booking Form
Provide as much detail as possible: your idea, placement, size, style, and any reference images. This helps me give you the most accurate quote and time estimate.
Email Conversation
Once I receive your form, I’ll reach out via email within 2–3 business days. We’ll discuss your design, answer questions, and set the session length. No appointment is confirmed until we’ve completed this step.
Deposit & Confirmation
A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. This deposit goes toward the total cost of your tattoo. Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice will forfeit the deposit.
Rates & Minimum
$200 shop minimum (covers small tattoos or the first hour of work)
Hourly rate for larger pieces varies by complexity—quoted after consultation.
Multiple-session pieces will be scheduled in advance.
