BOOKS OPEN

SAN FRANCISCO

About Booking

  • BOOKS ARE CURRENTLY OPEN FOR SAN FRANCISCO! Send an e-mail to erinshea.tattoos@gmail.com or submit on the BOOKING REQUEST tab located up top!

  • If your idea was accepted you will receive a followup email requesting references if needed. You will also receive a link to book your own appointment! Please choose the best date and time from what’s available.

    A non-refundable booking fee of $50 will be required to secure your booking. This fee does no go toward the price of the tattoo. *Please visit my pricing section below for full deposit policies*

    I may ask for references or photos of the spot you’re looking to have tattooed in order to make sure we are on the same page and have realistic expectations of what is possible. I ask you to provide as much information and references as you need in order to convey your idea. I usually will not reach out again unless I need further information. When you come in for your appointment, I will have your design ready for viewing. We can make changes together if necessary. If extensive changes to the design need to be made, we may have to reschedule or I may require additional drawing fees. Note this is not very common.

    Booking links sent to clients are essentially a contract for the design you submit on your form. If you should choose to change the idea of your design, I have the right to choose not to proceed with the appointment since it is not what we “agreed” upon. Booking fee will still be non-refundable but can still be transferred to a new design if accepted. Please do not book and pay a booking fee if you are not serious about the tattoo. I do not want anyone to waste their time or money.

  • When coming in for nipple tattoos, we will start with sitting down to talk about your nipples and look at the anatomy of your areola together. From there, we will talk about what designs you’re drawn too and what kinds of designs will look best and work best with your body. I have several pre-drawn designs to choose from or to mix and combine together to create one unique for you!

    Nipple adornments start at $450 and go up depending on level of detail. These tattoos are mostly hand poked to ensure delicacy and the least amount of trauma to the skin. They take a tremendous amount of patience and care to tattoo which contributes to the price.

    The shop is chilly, and when your whole torso is out, it can feel colder. For these tattoos, I recommend bringing a zip-up or button up shirt / sweatshirt to keep you warm and keep you from feeling super exposed. If there is anything else I can do to provide you with more privacy, please never hesitate to ask.

    Aftercare is pretty similar to any other tattoo, and you may notice they heal very quickly. Less is more with these. Keep them clean and a tiny bit of moisturizer will go a long way.

  • I provide touch-ups on all of my work up to a year free of charge. All you have to do is send me an e-mail (erinshea.tattoos@gmail.com) telling me you need a touch-up, and provide a picture of the tattoo in question so I can send you the proper amount of time to touch up your tattoo. If your tattoo is over a year+ old, it will be considered a re-work. I provide reworks at a discounted hourly rate on my own work.

    I sometimes will do touch-ups on other artists’ work at my hourly rate until completed. This is on a case by case basis.

    *Please note that it is very easy for tattoo artists to tell whether a tattoo was properly taken care of during the aftercare process. Neglect to the tattoo will void the free touch-up. Tattoos do not always need touch ups, I may suggest waiting longer before touching up.

Pricing and Policy

  • Moving forward I will be charging a flat rate for one sitting tattoo sessions. I work very efficiently and quickly so this allows me to price my work fairly. Please view references attached for pricing examples. Please also note these prices are not finalized. I am always willing to work between your budget

    Booking Fee Policy:

    Booking Fee is $50 and NON REFUNDABLE.Deposits no longer toward the price of your appointment. This now acts as the booking fee. This fee secures your date and time. If you need multiple appointments you may pre-book with me at your session without paying a new fee. PLEASE DO NOT PAY A DEPOSIT IF YOU ARE NOT READY OR COMMITTED TO GETTING A TATTOO.

    If you need to reschedule I require 72 hours advance notice otherwise you will need to pay a new booking fee. If you cancel and are not sure when you can reschedule, your booking fee is valid for up to 3 months. 

    If you are a No Call No Show you could potentially be blocked from future bookings. If accepted for new appointment, you will have to pay a “no show” fee to ensure your arrival to your scheduled date ($250).
