FAQs
-
Tattoos are by appointment only. The Vintique Bazaar is a private studio. I am not always present in studio unless by appointment, thus I ask interested clients to book online.
-
You can request an appointment through my website via the appointment request form here.
-
Often, in-person consultations are not required for booking flash design. In many cases, clients are booking from different cities so consultations can be done online. For custom designs though, and for those with skin conditions, in some circumstances if it’s possible your artist may ask for an in-person consultation ranging anywhere from 15-30 minutes at the studio.
-
A deposit is required to secure you appointment date and design. Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit covers artists time, labor, and supplies, and goes towards the cost of your tattoo the day of your appointment. So for example, if you pay an $85 deposit on a $185 tattoo, the day of your appointment you would pay the remaining $100.

I offer flash designs, but I also enjoy doing custom design requests in my style. My style includes but is not totally limited to: dotwork/pointillism, geometric, nature and antiquity inspired, SWANA, MENA, Palestinian and Indigenous designs.
-
At this time, I currently only offer black and grey tattoos. This is due to concern in the E.U. over the pigments, heavy metals, and other ingredients used to create colored inks, as well as the adverse reactions they may have, such as famously known with red ink. Black ink is made of carbon, of which we are all made of, with no issues when applied in the skin.
-
Drawing previews are shown one to three days before your appointment. If you’d like to make any changes, please notify the artist before your appointment.
-
I try to reply to form requests immediately.
If you haven’t heard back about a custom tattoo design request sent via email, it’s possible your email went to spam if you didn’t fill out this request form on my website. If the artist does not reply back to your custom design request, it doesn't mean there anything wrong with what you requested, this just means it's not the right fit for their style.
If you tried to request an appointment via social media DM, please submit your request through the form on my website as I am no longer accepting new client through DM requests.
-
Deposits are non-refundable. Please message me via Instagram as soon as you know you may not be able to make it to your intended appointment date. The sooner you can communicate this the best, and at least 3 days before your appointment.
Last minute cancellations and rescheduling should only be done for genuine urgent emergencies and illness. No call no shows will result in blacklisting.
If rescheduling is not possible, or another situation arises to where you cannot make it to your re-scheduled appointment, you forfeit your deposit.
Rescheduling/cancellation incurs a fee of $45-$85.
-
Please do not be late for your appointment. Let me know as soon as possible with your ETA. If you are 15 to 30 minutes late, I charge a $30 fee. For 45 minutes to an hour or over late, I charge a fee of $85, & you will likely have to be rescheduled.
This late fee compensates my time & labor, as late appointments cause other appointments to be shifted. Repeated tardiness will cause blacklisting.
-
Please come on time. Do not come in more than 10 minutes early, as your artist is often finishing up with another client or setting up.
-
Clients are required to shower & wear deodorant before coming in.
-
As an artist, my clients come to me for my creativity, imagination & trust in our shared final vision.
AI steals from artists to generate images, destroys our planet, & is the very tech that is being trained & used to commit genocide in Palestine.
I boycott the use of AI, I do not use AI in my artwork, & I ask that my clients respect this too.
Knowingly submitting AI generated designs will cause your appointment request to be denied.
