FAQ

FAQs

Are you currently taking appointments?

BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR SAN FRANCISCO! I encourage everyone to look at my Instagram (@dojatatt) to see my work before inquiring about a tattoo!

Do I get to see my design before the appointment?

I do not have designs available for viewing before the tattoo. When you arrive at your appointment, I will have it ready for you. If changes and adjustments need to be made, we can make changes together. If changes or adjustments require more time than allotted, a drawing fee or reschedule of your session may be required.

May I bring friends to my appointment?

We don’t have a ton of seating available in our shop. I work best working intimately with my clients. You may bring one friend (please no more than 1) but they may not be able to be in the tattoo area with you. We are a tight shop and we must be mindful of the other people working. If it is busy, I ask that we save couch space for clients awaiting their appointment. There is so much to do around Chinatown, I promise they won’t be bored waiting for you!

Do you do touch-ups?

Yes, I offer touch-ups on my own work up to 1 year. Usually touch ups will be free of charge, but may be charged a small set-up fee depending on how much work needs to be done.

*improper aftercare will void your touch up and you will be charged for a session.

Do you have an age requirement?

Yes. You must be 18 or older, regardless of parental consent.

How do I book an apt?

Just fill out the booking form on my website! You may send as many references as you need to my e-mail (erinshea.tattoos@gmail.com). I will send you a booking link to schedule your appointment. You will leave a $50 non-refundable booking fee to complete your appointment at time of booking. By completing your booking form, you are agreeing to all terms, conditions and policies upon submission.

Do I get my booking fee back if I cancel?

NO. BOOKING FEES are non-refundable. DO NOT PAY A BOOKING FEE IF YOU ARE NOT COMMITTED TO COMING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. Booking fee does not go toward price of appointment.

*An appointment may only be rescheduled once - at your second reschedule a new fee will have to be paid.

If a booking fee does need to be issued back for any reason CC fees may be deducted.

Do I need a consultation to book an appointment?

No, consultations are not required! I may suggest a consult for larger pieces to take measurements and pictures of the space wanting to be tattooed. Consultations will only be offered once an idea has been accepted. Consultations are always free :)

What should I do to prepare?

Eat a good breakfast, and drink lots of water! Hydrating your body hydrates your skin and makes it a beautiful canvas to tattoo on. You may also feel free to moisturize the area you’re looking to have tattooed in the week before your appointment, but it is not required. Snacks and a little sugar also never hurt :)

No alcohol 24 hours before your appointment.

What do I accept for payment?

✨CASH ONLY✨. I have a pricing breakdown with examples under “booking & pricing” so you can estimate how much the piece will cost. There is an ATM (BOA) across the street that is available but may be subject to fee.
