Booking Info
*Before submitting a form, please read through the following information to ensure you're ready to commit to a tattoo. Tattoos require planning, so please apply only if you're fully prepared:)
***I will be checking and responding to submissions bi-weekly but please be patient if it takes me a few weeks to get back to you! Im a one-woman show so just doing my best to keep up but also keep a balance between work and life. I really appreciate you all and thank you for the support and the interest!!
While I haven't yet integrated photo upload into the submission form, you can send reference/inspiration pictures via our email thread. Please remember to check your spam folder, just in case!
My studio is located at the warehouse 67 West St. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Ill send further studio details and things to keep in mind for the day of the appointment once your appointment time has been confirmed.
I specialize in blackwork illustrative tattoos and am open to custom or pre-drawn (flash) designs.
Some Things I am Interested In Tattooing: Traditional flash designs that I can put my spin on, bold lines or solid black details, anything with patterns, classic trad ladies/lady heads, chairs/vintage objects/random objects, sculptures, ceramics, creatures with fun textures/scales/patterns (dragons, snakes, frogs, fish, horses etc), animals with accessories:), florals with big blooms and foliage with cool leaf designs, fruit/citrus tats and also looking to play around with some larger scale/multi session projects. If any of these sounds fun, make sure to mention it in your proposal!
Things I might not be the right fit for: Pet portraits, ornamental/mandala designs, extremely fine line & tiny (detailed) designs, highly architectural forms (unless you’re willing to go large).
*Feel free to shoot me an email at maryblacktattoos@gmail.com if you’re curious about a certain subject matter/idea and want to chat about it before submitting a proposal for an appointment. Ill be honest if I don’t think I can technically achieve the design or if someone else may be a better fit for that specific project.
Flash/Pre-drawn Designs: I have examples of my flash designs located in the highlights on my instagram page. Its a mix of new and old flash so some designs may have been retired or new designs have been added. A large portion of the designs Ive posted on IG are from my flash so you have an idea of what to expect. While Im unable to send designs beforehand, I have over 150 designs for you to choose from on the day of your appointment.
If you are interested in a flash appointment, please note this in your request. Please do not choose a flash appointment if you do not intend to pick from my flash on the day of your tattoo. If you decide you want major changes made to a flash design, there will be a $50.00 drawing fee applied to your total.
**I require a $100 non-refundable deposit to hold the appointment, which will go towards the total cost of the tattoo. My rate is $280/hour. **
*Beyond using paypal for the deposit, I accept cash & zelle for payments.
If you are trying to scale your project to a budget, a lot of my work falls between 1.5 and 2.5 hrs. Wrapping florals, snakes, midsection pieces etc usually take longer 2-4 hours etc. Feel free to ask about a price quote/ tipping- I’m an open book and happy to answer any questions you have!
(1) Reschedule is allowed with advance notice but last-minute cancellations, within (5) days of your appointment, will result in the loss of your deposit and you will need to place a new deposit to move forward with rebooking.
*Im very understanding so please reach out as soon as something comes up or you may not be able to make your appointment.
*If you are a no call- no show to your appointment, unfortunately we will not work together in the future.
I appreciate your interest and support! Looking forward to collaborating with you soon!
