THE PROCESS

Octoboros creates custom tattoos for each wearer. I selectively accept projects that align with my illustrative and blackwork style and allow room for artistic interpretation.

Submit your concept, reference images, approximate size and a clear photograph of the intended placement through my booking form. I will personally review your inquiry and contact you through Venue if the project is a fit.

THE INVESTMENT

Small-project minimum — $420

Half-day session — $600

Full-day session — $1,100

Larger work may require multiple sessions. After reviewing your project, I will recommend the appropriate session length and provide a pricing expectation before booking.

RESERVING YOUR APPOINTMENT

A separate $150 nonrefundable booking retainer is required to reserve your date, secure the studio space and begin the design process. The retainer is not deducted from the tattoo session price. Venue’s processing fee will be displayed separately at checkout.

THE DESIGN

Custom designs are developed close to the appointment date and are typically available the evening before your session. Minor adjustments may be discussed before tattooing. Significant changes to the original concept may require rescheduling and a new retainer.

LOCATION

Appointment-only tattooing at Smoking Mirror Tattoo in Austin, Texas.

READY?

Submit your inquiry through Venue. Completing the form does not automatically reserve an appointment. Every project is reviewed personally for compatibility, schedule and scope.
