Booking Info
My books are currently closed for new appointments. I am not accepting new bookings or responding to booking inquiries at this time. To stay updated on booking opportunities, please sign up for my mailing list below!
Booking Process
My books open approximately every 3-4 months for flash tattoos; I plan to open my flash books again in May or June of 2023. My availability for custom tattoos is limited and my timeframe for opening custom books will vary; I currently expect to re-open my custom books in early 2024. I communicate with my mailing list when I am getting ready to open my books.
When my books are open, I publish a booking request form on this site, which you must fill out to request an appointment. This form will stay up for at least 24 hours. After I take down the form, I go through all of the submissions and get in touch with those I am able to book. Due to the volume of submissions I normally receive, I am not able to individually respond to everyone, but I do notify my mailing list when my books for that period are full.
I am usually not able to fit in everyone who is interested, so I choose who to book based on my interest in the idea, your availability, whether you’ve submitted before, etc. Booking is not first-come, first-serve.
Flash vs Custom
I primarily do flash tattoos, which are pre-drawn designs you can browse here. You can learn more about my flash tattoos on my flash info page. If you want something designed specifically for you, please read my custom info page for information about booking a custom tattoo.
Pricing
My rate is $150/hour, with a minimum of $150 for flash designs and $250 for custom designs. I only charge for tattooing time; time spent stenciling, taking breaks, etc. will not be charged. For longer sessions, my rate is capped at $800/session.
I can accept cash or credit/debit card for payment.
To help you budget for your tattoo, below are some rough price estimates. Please keep in mind that these are just estimates, and final price will vary depending on multiple factors such as level of detail, placement, technical demands of the design, how well you sit, etc.
- Palm-sized tattoo (around 3-4 inches)
- $150-$250 for blackwork/black and grey
- $200-$400 for color
- Hand-size tattoo (around 6-7 inches)
- $400-$800 for blackwork/black and grey
- $600-$1200 for color
Schedule
I work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with most appointments scheduled to start between 10:30am and 2:30pm. Sometimes I will have availability for very small tattoos from 3:30 to 4:30pm. I usually take a shorter day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I prefer to schedule tattoos taking longer than 4 hours on a Monday or Friday.
Last-Minute Openings
Occasionally, I will have last-minute openings due to cancellations, reschedules, etc. When these occur, I will post to my Instagram stories. I do not keep a cancellation list, so please follow @lizzydaltontattoo if you are interested in a chance to get an appointment outside of my regular booking process.
