​

How often does Lady B Tattoo?

B does about 200 select projects a year. 

​

Walk-In or Appointment?

She is by appointment only.

​

How much does a tattoo from B cost?

Each project is different just like no two bodies are the same. B prefers to do most of her larger tattoos in 2 half day sits or more. Most forearms are 2 half day sessions and most upper outer arms and calves are 4 half day sessions.

​

Is Lady B the right artist for me?

If you aren't sure B is the right artist for you and you send multiple consult forms to multiple artists, save her the time and energy of her responding to you and choose the other artist. Lady B is passionate and dedicated to giving the best of herself to her tattoos and clients.

Its best to give Lady B loose guide lines for a piece. The more specific you want to be and the more you try to put her in a box the less your piece will look like a unique Lady B piece and the less likely she'll want to work with you. Realism has limited options available because it works directly with actual photography. So that being said what you want may not be possible for B's style. If you want anything fictitious, its rarely possible to create it. B works exclusively with photography and cant just "make it up". Some artists can but B often can't.  But it's best to still ask.

​

Lady B's books are closed! What do I do?

The best way to give yourself the best chance at getting a tattoo from B is to turn on notifications for her social media. That way, your phone will notify you when she posts for an opening or if her books open. Her books don't open for very long and she doesn't want you to miss the window. For instagram, it's on the upper right corner on her page. The little bell next to the three dots.

 

Sun Exposure

Do you love being in the sun and get burnt often? Or you love to lay out and tan? Then maybe B's work isn't for you. B's work is detailed and can be delicate. Unprotected sun exposure is like a mini laser session on your tattoo. It softens and spreads the ink out faster. This by no way means you shouldn't live your life. Take care of your skin and tattoos and protect it with 50 spf or more every 2 hours if you're going to be in the sun.

​

Does B take Deposits?

Yes and No. B works on an honor system. No deposit is required to make an appointment when she is home. However, if you cancel or no show in less than 72 hours and want or need to reschedule, you owe half the remaining cost of the tattoo as a deposit and it comes off the back end. This deposit is non refundable if you no show or cancel again. This is not in addition to the cost of the tattoo but goes toward the total cost. When B is traveling for a guest spot or a convention, she has a non refundable deposit of $500.

 

I want a pet portrait done by Lady B. What do I need to know?

Lady B is very choosy about the pet portraits that she accepts. She prefers the reference photo to be high quality, professional photography and not just snapped with a phone. Pose and lighting is also a factor depending on the body part you're looking to place it on.

 

What kind of experience can I expect with Lady B?

  Lady B has a relaxed, easy going, fun loving personality. The same goes for the rest of the shop. She loves connecting with her clients and hopes to build lasting relationships.

​

I have a full day sit/hip piece/leg sleeve scheduled with B. What should I wear and bring?

If she is working anywhere near your upper thigh and onto your hip please bring a side tie bikini. There is a privacy curtain to put up to shield you from the rest to the shop to make sure you're as comfortable as possible. Men, this includes you. You can buy a speedo if you prefer but its just going to get cut. Other options are a small towel, nekkid, or a robe. She personally don't have a preference. There's nothing you've got that she haven't seen. Also bring a pillow for under your hip and your head. The tattoo chair isn't terribly uncomfortable but anything longer than 3 hours and anyone will get a little sore. BRING SWEET SNACKS AND WATER! It's going to be a long day for the two of you and you want to keep your blood sugar up. She normally takes a lunch break on long days so you do eat but she is attacking your adrenaline and body with needles. It's a good amount of stress that you're putting on your body

​

Does she accept walk-ins?

No

​

How do I schedule an appointment?

Make sure her books are open and fill out the consult form on this website and she'll talk about your design with you

​

Do I need to bring in my own references/designs?

You can absolutely bring in your own designs! She prefers that they are emailed to her. 

​​

Can I bring my student ID?

No. You must have a government or state-issued identification, driver's license, passport, military ID, etc.

​

Should I fill out a consultation form?

Yes, the more information she has to begin with, the easier it will be to schedule your appointment.
