JJ MCQUEEN TATTOOS
What days do you tattoo?
RIght now I'm coming off of maternity leave with my second child so my schedule is a little different than it usually is. Currently, I'll be at the shop 11-6pm tues, Wednesday, Friday and 12-6pm Saturday for sure. Things might fluctuate week to week - but those days are the most solid general days.
How does the booking process work?
I prefer to start with an email/submission form detailing what you'd like to get done. Please see the form on the form page to make it easy! Next, we set up a consultation to discuss your specifications - especially if you're a new client to me. At the consultation, if you choose to book, you will be asked to leave a deposit to hold the appointment.
How do you price tattoos/what form of payment do you accept?
The shop minimum is $100 and my hourly rate is $160. Tattoos will be timed with my phone timer to ensure accurate charge. Small tattoos that fall under $160 will be priced by design and the shop minimum is $100. Payments that I accept are Venmo, Zelle (preferred) or cash.
How much is the deposit and what is your policy?
The deposit is $100 dollars and goes towards the total cost of your tattoo. The deposit is non-refundable and if you give less than 48 hours for a cancellation you will have to put another one down (barring an emergency or special situation). Please communicate swiftly if you can't make your appointment so I can try to fill the spot! Last minute cancellations make it hard to pay my bills and excessive reschedules may result in us not working together.
A no show results in a loss of deposit and us probably not working together. There are few exceptions to this as I feel it is a blatant disrespect to my time. Medical emergencies, urgent family issues are examples of exemptions. Unless you're physically/emotionally incapable of letting me know, all it takes is a quick phone call or email!!
My appointment is booked!! what next?
The day of the appointment we will go over your drawing together. Usually a thorough consultation results in little editing, but if there are any, its easier to go over them together in person. I do not send out drawings before hand so please be sure of what you want or open to interpretation that can be edited at the time of.
Feel free to bring drinks/snacks to keep blood sugar up! Stay hydrated and please, please don't come in hung over.
You can bring a friend but please try to limit attendees to one person as the shop is big but not big enough for an entourage.
Where should I park?
We have two hour street parking around the shop for quick visits. For longer visits there are paid lots on Alamo street, paid parking at Reinke Bros., and "free" (they give a warning before a ticket) parking at the RTD station.
Are there styles you do not do?
Yep! I wouldn't be the artist for you if you're looking for the following styles:
-
photo realism
-
tiny water color tattoos that do not have an outline
-
full geometric sleeves/filler
-
trash polka
-
paragraphs on paragraphs of lettering
-
New school
-
Japanese
If you're unsure if what you want falls into one of these categories, please send me an email :)
I also will not work on minors even with parental consent.
