HOW DO I BOOK A CONSULT/ APPOINTMENTThe most recent work from the artists can be found on each artist page, this website via Instagram (IG), Under the highlights on our IG, their personal IG pages, or our Facebook page (Little Witch Tattoo) . If you do not have access to social media, please contact the shop and we can arrange a viewing of the hardcopies of the artists portfolios. You can fill out our general booking form here and the shop will connect you with the best artist for the project, our first available artist, or with the artist of your choice. We recommend choosing someone who’s style matches the vision you have for your tattoo. If you are unsure, we are more than happy to recommend an artist based on the design you’d like. Please indicate this in your email and please include your reference images and ideas, in your submission. You will then be directed to an artist to further your communications and consultation. Each artist is in charge of their own bookings and consults, and take the responsibility of continuing contact once initiated with the client. Most of our artists do their consultations online via Instagram, email, or webform. In-person consultations can be done at request, but please be respectful if an artist declines to do so if it is not a part of their process. ​ Once the consult is done and both you and your artist decide to start the project, a deposit is required, and it is at this time your appointment will also be booked. The deposit ensures that you are committed to getting a tattoo, and it also holds your appointment time. Please note, DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. ​ Your deposit will be applied towards the cost of your tattoo. (if multiple sessions are required it will be applied to the LAST tattoo session).

WILL I GET TO SEE MY DRAWINGMake sure to ask your artist their personal policy on seeing designs before your appointment as each artist is different. ​Your design and ideas will be discussed during your initial consult with your artist. Some will draw a week before, some draw the night before or morning of. ​Any minor changes will be made at that time. Most artists do not allow viewing until the appointment or in person. If the design is not yet ready, please respect the artists process. If you decide to make changes from the original idea discussed with your artist, please contact them at least 72 hours PRIOR to your appointment so they have enough time to revise the design if necessary.
