Here you will find answers to all kind of questions we may be asking ourselves about the creative process.
Planning your tattoo adventure? Great! Here’s the lowdown on how to get the ink of your dreams with Barnacle Ink:
Dive into the tattoo inspiration pool. Start by gathering cool ideas and images that tickle your fancy.
When you’ve got a clear vision, use our Booking Request form to reach out to us. Attach your inspiration pics and describe your tattoo idea.
We’ll need the nitty-gritty details:
If you’re all about that in-person experience, we’ll set up a meeting. The artist will get the necessary measurements to avoid or integrate your existing tattoos.
After we’ve swapped all the necessary info, the artist will whip up some appointment options for you. Ready to embark on this tattoo journey? Let’s make it happen! ⚓🖌️
A deposit (amount estimated in accordance with the size, complexity, and placement of the project) will be required before any drawing is worked on, or appointments booked. This deposit can only be used as store credit within the following 9 months.
The deposit will be lost if cancellation or request for rescheduling is not done prior to 48 hours of the set appointment. Rescheduling in accordance with that time frame can be done no more than twice in a row, otherwise resulting in the loss of your deposit. Once the deposit is made, your booking is secured, and a confirmation is sent.
Every artist has a different creative approach. Some would like to exchange throughout the process of designing your tattoo while others, assuming that you have done your due diligence by looking up their portfolio before booking, will draw it all up as they please without asking anything more of you but to show up to your appointment.
This last point is one of the reasons it is important to do your research before you choose your artist. You need to know what the artist loves to work with, what they specialize in and if this suits you. It’s a mutual trust situation; one that even if you don’t ever meet again, will stick with you for life.
If you can’t make up your mind on who to choose for your project, ask us. It will be a pleasure to direct you to who we believe will be the perfect fit!
