*For some large scale projects, a half day may not be an adequate amount of time to start the project.

A full day is an 11am-5pm appointment that consists of 6 hours of work including: design layout/stencil placement, tattooing, aftercare instructions (with occasional breaks to stretch, eat, utilize the restroom, etc).

*Full day sessions are recommended for larger projects that may require more than one session, especially for the initial appointment when starting a large scale project such as back pieces, leg or arm sleeves, or large scale coverup projects.


Smaller tattoos: Price Varies

Required Non-Refundable Booking Fee: $100

Smaller tattoos are tattoos that will take less than a half day session to complete (typically tattoos that will take no more than 1-2 hours max to complete). These tattoos will be priced at a flat rate based off of tattoo design, detail, style, size, and location on the body.

Prices range from $150-$450.

*Jess has a $150 minimum.


TRAVEL RATES:

Half Day: $700 ($200 booking fee required)

Full Day: $1250 ($250 booking fee required)

Travel rates will be applied to guest spots and conventions. This additional cost to the hourly rate helps cover travel costs, lodging, transportation, and convention/studio fees.


Booking fees:

All booking fees are non-refundable.

All booking is done via a booking app called Venue Ink. The booking link is available on this page when Jess is accepting inquiries.

Once an inquiry is accepted by Jess, a deposit request will be sent via the booking app for easy payment and scheduling. Deposits are due within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you are not ready to pay your booking fee, your appointment date & time will not be held.

This booking fee secures your appointment date, time and tattoo design.


Your booking fee will be void/lost if:

  • You do not show up to your scheduled appointment (no call, no show).

  • You are more than 30 minutes late without warning.

  • You cancel/reschedule with less than 5 days notice.

  • After you reschedule 2 times.

  • You change your desired tattoo concept after booking.

  • If you decide to cancel your appointment altogether, your booking fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.

  • Booking fees are not transferable to any other artists working at Mesmer Tattoo.



PAYMENT METHOD At Appointment:

At your tattoo appointment cash is preferred for the remaining balance but card payments are also accepted. A card processing fee + tax will be applied to all card transactions.


RESCHEDULE/Cancellation/late POLICY:

As a business, part of our success depends on mutual respect of time. Remembering and respecting the appointment date and time is your responsibility.

Please give at least 5 days notice if you need to reschedule for any reason — with adequate notice, you will be able to carry your booking fee with you to your rescheduled date in the event that you need to move your appointment.

If you are going to be late or cannot make your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact Jess via email or the booking app as soon as possible. We get it, things happen - just let us know.

If you are 15 mins late with no notice we will contact you, if you are 30 mins late with no notice you will be marked as a no show and sacrifice both your appointment and booking fee. 


Consultation/Design Process:

Jess requires consultations for most tattoo appointments — these are done either in person or over Zoom video chat. During consultations, Jess and her client discuss the design in detail and get clarity on the project they will be working on. From there, if Jess has any questions about the design after meeting with a client for their consultation, she will reach out with questions for more clarification.

The design process is based a lot on the trust her clients have in her style and her ability to listen to their input to create a unique design for them to the best of her ability. Any minor changes to designs can be made the day of the appointment. Jess does not send photos of drawings to clients before their scheduled appointments.
