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!

I only accept booking requests via booking form on my website when my books are open. When booking opens the booking form will be available for a pre-determined amount of time or maximum number of inquiries.
*Custom requests are NOT selected on a first come first serve basis, there is no need to rush your request in. I am very selective about what projects I take on. Please do not take this personal.
Pre Drawn projects & flash designs may be available for reservation between book openings. I will post these on social media @dojatatt
When my books open, a custom booking request form will go live on my website for a predetermined amount of time. You will fill out all of the information and send references if necessary. Please note I will only be taking on projects I feel most passionate about. If chosen, I will send you a booking link to schedule your appointment. The website will prompt you for a $50 nonrefundable booking fee to secure your booking.
-
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. If you do not book your appointment within one week you forfeit your appointment guarantee.
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 together 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 delicate 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.

Every few months, I like to challenge myself and take on certain projects that are in line with my interests at the time. I am currently only taking on projects that fit my personal style of tattooing and allow me to have the most creative freedom. Ideas that leave little to no room for my own creativity or style, and designs drawn by other artists will not be accepted at this time in order to further my own portfolio.
Due to the high volume of requests received I will only be responding to projects I would like to take on. Once I have filled all of my availability for my booking period I will update my website and social media. Please note that it may take a few weeks to be notified.
Please, please, please do not take it personally if I do not accept your request. My schedule fills up very fast and I cannot accommodate all requests, it may take a few a tries before your submission is accepted.
Projects I am currently looking to do more of:
-large scale ornaments
-free handed and large scale florals
-large mixed ornamental/floral back and torso pieces
-large scale vases
-stained glass
-antique objects
Projects I am NOT taking on currently:
-portraits
-animals (excluding insects)
-tattoos drawn by other artists or designers

Pre Drawn projects are one of a kind designs drawn by me and will only be tattooed once. Pre-drawn projects do not allow for changes or customization. This would then be a custom tattoo. They are drawn exactly to how I wish to tattoo them. The only thing added that will be added to these designs is shading.
Flash tattoos are a little more generic, and are not one off tattoos. They can be tattooed multiple times on different people. I usually “retire” a design after 3 times tattooing it to ensure some level of exclusivity and so I don’t get bored.
FLASH AND PRE-DRAWN DESIGNS ARE THE ONLY GUARANTEED APPOINTMENTS. IF CLAIMED YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE A BOOKING SLOT.
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).
If you arrive any later than 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, it will be up to my discretion whether or not we can proceed with your appointment.
I only allow for 2 reschedules before you need to pay a new booking fee.
