Location:
I work Tuesdays through Saturdays at Port City Tattoo in Costa Mesa, CA. Travel dates and locations can be found in my blog updates as well in my free monthly newsletters.
Deposits:
Deposits are required for all appointments. Deposits are either $100 or $200 depending on the size of the tattoo or if multiple appointments are required. All deposits are non-refundable. Deposits applied towards the total cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo required multiple sittings, the deposit is applied to your last sitting.
Designs & References:
I tattoo just about any designs, there are some designs or styles I prefer to take on or will take as priority. Please email me with details and references for your desired design or project to go over pricing and details. If you’d like, you can book a consultation to go over these details in person.
The majority of my work is custom, and made to fit your desired location. I also have flash designs available as well as several books of designs I’ve made ready to choose from. You can fill out my contact form for appointment inquiries.
Custom designs are ready to view the day of your appointment. Please be thorough with your designs detailed descriptions to ensure designs are made as close to your liking as possible. Include desired placement, size, budget if any and photos or references if any as well. This ensures no adjustments will be necessary on the day of your appointment. If design adjustments are necessary, please be aware that this can affect available time we have for your appointment. Last minute complete changes may require a new appointment and deposit so new drawings won’t be rushed.
Rescheduling & cancellations:
If you need to reschedule an appointment please do so no less than one week before your appointment to avoid forfeiting your deposit. Cancellations and no shows will result in forfeiture of your deposit. Please email me at Carlos@sacredpine.com to reschedule your appointment.
Pricing and payments:
Pieces done in one shot are priced by the piece starting at $350 for palm size designs and up from there based on the designs detail, size and placement. Larger pieces or pieces done in multiple sittings are charged by the hour. My hourly rate is $200/hr. Please email me if you’re inquiring on getting something smaller or a simple piece for pricing.
I accept cash, card/Apple Pay for payments and deposits. Please note, card payments have a credit card processing fee. We do have an ATM in the shop for your convenience.
