FAQs

Where Are You Located?

I am located in a private studio in Denver!

The address is 3333 S Tamarac Dr, Denver CO 80231. Suite 120

I am located at the Phenix Salon Suites by the Ace Hardware and Benihana. There is a code to the building door so please message me so I can bring you in!

How Far Are You Booked?

My books are typically open! So no worries on securing a spot with me! I work Tuesdays-Saturdays typically but message me for any exceptions.

What Is Your Hourly Rate?

My current rate is $100 an hour, my minimum is $60 for any tattoos that take me 30 minutes or less with no color or shading. With color or shading is going to be a minimum of $100.

I only charge you when you are in the chair and I am actively tattooing you. I DO NOT charge you for breaks such as to eat or use the restroom.

I offer flat rates but ONLY for MY FLASH. Any of the work I have in my physical portfolio or that I post up on my socials will have the best discounts for prices.

I do a lot of small flash events as well so keep your eyes out for them!

How Do I Book With You?

You can book with me through my website here or through my email, littlegoblintattoos@gmail.com. I will NOT respond to any DMs on social media, texts or calls. All bookings must be from here or emails. I am not trying to intentionally trying to ignore you, I just have several platforms that allow for messages and cannot keep track of them so emails are the best way to get my attention. Also please allow up to 48 hours for a response.

Remember when booking to give me a description of what you’re waiting and what days you have available as well as size and placement of your future tattoo.

Do I Need A Deposit To Book With You? What Is A Deposit?

Yes, there is a NON REFUNDABLE deposit required with every booking. I accept deposits through Venmo, PayPal and Cashapp. Your $50 goes towards securing your booking as well as the time I put in to draw your design.

Deposits also come off the price of the initial tattoo at the end of your final session. So if you are working on a larger piece with me, then our last session is when I will take the $50 off.

I understand that life happens so I allow for ONE reschedule before I ask for a rescheduling fee. If you reschedule more than once with me, I will require another $50 deposit. That being said, if I have to reschedule you for my own reasons, that fee will be waved.

If you are 30 minutes late for your appointment or if you are under the influence then I will be forced to reschedule with you. But if you are thinking you are running late please notify me! I can make certain exceptions.

If you do not notify me 24 hours in advance of your cancellation/reschedule, I will consider that a no call no show and forfeits your deposit.

 How Do I Prepare For My Tattoo?

Well first you need to be super excited! But make sure to get a good night’s sleep the night before, avoid alcoholic beverages the day before your appointment and the day of. Eat a good meal before coming in, make sure you are well hydrated. Make sure to please shower and wear deodorant, I am going to be in close proximity to you! Also make sure to wear clothing that makes the area that will be tattooed easily accessible. I usually recommend wearing something you aren’t super attached to, as I might get ink on it.

Please do not come in super sunburned or under the influence of drugs and alcohol

I usually prefer you don’t bring your kids into the studio, so if you can leave your little goblin at home, I would appreciate it!

You are welcome to bring headphones, a pillow and blanket, a book, a friend. Bringing snacks and sugary beverages and water is always a great idea!

Do You Tattoo Anyone Under 18?

My age limit for tattoos is 16! I WILL NOT TATTOO YOU IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 16! NO EXCEPTIONS! If you are below 18, you will need to have your parent or legal guardian sign for you. That means they will need to be present for the tattoo. You will also need to have some sort of photo ID for yourself, whether that’s a permit, school ID, Passport etc. You will need to have your parent’s ID as well. If your last names do not match, you will also need the birth certificate and any paperwork that states legal guardianship.

I WILL NOT tattoo your hand, face, or neck if you are below the age of 18.

How Can I Pay You For My Tattoo?

I accept payments through Venmo, PayPal, Cashapp and with Cash itself.

If you are paying with PayPal, please do not put it under Business but through Friends/Family. It will take a chunk of money out if it is under Business.

Can I See My Design Before The Appointment?

Unfortunately I do not send out designs before the appointment, that is to protect myself and my art. Typically I do not start working on your design until a week before the appointment due to working on designs for appointments before yours. If you would like to make any changes, we can make them day of the appointment. That being said, please be as descriptive as possible when sending an inquiry form.

Can I Use Numbing Cream?

I can use numbing cream on you if you’d like. I recommend Painless Tattoo numbing cream. When using a cream, make sure to wash the area, shave the area and put a generous amount of numbing cream on, then wrap the area up in cling wrap. You’ll want to leave the numbing cream on for a minimum of 2 hours before the tattoo.

I also have bactine that I can use on you after we’ve already been tattooing. Bactine only works once the skin is broken.

If you have a numbing cream you have that you want to use, notify me! Make sure it is not from a shady supplier or in a suspicious container. Some creams can cause chemical burns to the skin.

Do You Do Coverups?

I am still very new to tattooing so I don’t have much experience yet with doing coverups. However, depending on the size and area of the desired coverup, I can make an exception.

That also being said, scars are no issue for me though. If you are trying to cover up a scar please be sure that the scar is white and not pink. If you tattoo over a scar that is not fully healed then it could exaggerate the scar and make it more noticeable.

Do You Travel Or Do Conventions?

I am still very new to tattooing so don’t have any current plans to travel out of state yet, however I will be doing as many local conventions that I can here in Colorado!
