How to Set Up An Appointment
Darling Tattoo »
Schedule Consultation
A consultation is required for most tattoos. During this one-on-one meeting with me, Xavier Darling, we’ll discuss your tattoo idea, composition, body placement, costs, and more. This is also a great opportunity to ensure I’m the right artist for you!
C onsultations generally take between 15-30 minutes and we do not charge for this service. A little preparation up front helps draw the tattoo of your dreams! Please bring references to ideas. Hard copies are not necessary but are still welcome.
*Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID for proof of age.
Tattoo Appointment
A $200 deposit is required for a 1-hour tattoo appointment. For a 2-hour tattoo, the deposit is also $200. If your tattoo is 5 hours or more, the deposit increases to $500. The deposit is necessary to reserve your appointment and will be applied to the final cost of the tattoo. The hourly rate is $200.
Deposits are non-refundable and valid for six months.
The deposit will be forfeited if you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, do not show up for your appointment, arrive more than 15 minutes late, or change your mind mid-process if your new idea requires additional artwork and drawing time.
Larger pieces may require a larger deposit.
