Two ways to book your vacation tattoo

Deposit-backed requests are matched first, since they're committed bookings.

Option 1 — Free intake

Submit the form above with no deposit and no payment. When we match you, you pay your artist the full tattoo price.

Option 2 — $40 booking deposit

  • A $40 refundable deposit locks in your personal artist match. You pay it after submitting your intake.
  • The FULL $40 comes off your tattoo price. It is not a fee.
  • If we can't match you with the right artist, you get the full $40 back.
  • If you no-show or cancel last-minute, the deposit is forfeited (standard shop policy).
