THE Lucid artistsWe are life-long Artists who have been technically trained as Tattooists. Tattooing is a sacred collaboration between the artist and client, so our passion lies in the symbolism and story behind each artwork. How can we use imagery to convey your ideas? How can we make it look perfect on the canvas of your body? Those are the questions we will answer together along our creative journey.
We prefer to tattoo fresh, collaborative designs crafted with our own styles and skillsets. Browse our portfolios to acquaint yourself with our art! There are themes and images we love working with, and some we may decline. Everything is custom: we will draw you a one-of-a-kind design by hand before we tattoo it. Exceptions are artwork that you have created yourself or images that we attain the appropriate permission to use. We charge hourly for any time dedicated towards your tattoo, including: communicating, meeting, sketching, inking, and of course, the day-of tattooing. |

Pricing:
Our current rate is $150/hr - 200/hr for tattoo services depending on artist. A $100/hr fee applies to design time. Each project is unique and the amount of energy required varies. We can offer you an estimate based on your needs. Please keep in mind that estimates are our best guess, and we are not guaranteeing that your tattoo will be completed in that exact amount of time. Project times vary depending on artwork detail, skin condition and type, how well you sit, etc. and we ask clients to understand that this is not a perfect science, it's an ART. Please reserve plenty of time around your appointment booking in case we need extra time. Tattoo rates apply to your entire appointment, not just time the machine is running. Billed tattoo time includes all time dedicated to you, from the set start time of your appointment (even if you are late) to the time you are securely wrapped and ready to leave. Your artist does not charge for set-up and tear-down procedures that are done before and after your appointment.
Last but not Least, the Fine-Print ...
Project Estimates and Payment
The service fee estimates are based on my current understanding of the project and its demands, and represents a certain number of hours required to complete the work. Please note that this is only an estimate and not a guaranteed price. All services will be billed at our hourly rate. A minimum $200 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date and begin design work. Deposits expire after 6 months. I will present a final bill at the end of each project which is due on receipt.
Cancellation and Delay Policy
The client may terminate the agreement within 24 hours of acceptance with no associated fee and will be guaranteed the return of their initial deposit. Cancellations of your appointment require 72 hours notice. We will agree to one rescheduling of your appointment in the event that a cancellation is required. In the event of project cancellation, the client agrees to compensate LUCID ARTS for any work completed to date that exceeds the deposit, including design work, at the current hourly rate. The timeline is largely driven by the client(s) submitting necessary content, review and feedback in a timely fashion. We will communicate any delays and keep the client current on progress. In the event the client delays a project or puts a project on hold for more than 14 days, the project will be deemed closed and all work done to date will be due and payable as billed. If the client desires to resume the project after it has been closed then a new contract must be agreed to.
Copyright Agreement
All rights reserved for any artworks and/or designs we create. All artworks and/or designs remain our sole property. You may not use, publish, or reproduce our art work without permission. Photos of your tattoos must include credit to the artist. No third party may use these images without written permission from the artist.
- Contact us with your tattoo idea and desired booking date(s) in the ENTRY FORM below this POLICIES SECTION. Please keep in mind we have a minimum fee of $250 per appointment.
- Schedule your appointment. We will assess your idea and if we seem like a good match, we will let you know available dates. Please ensure you plan your tattoo for a time when you have 2 weeks to heal properly and be free of any antibiotics, vaccines, boosters, or surgery in the weeks before and after your tattoo.
- Provide a $200 deposit (for work under 5") or a $300 deposit (for work over 5") to hold your date and begin the design work. Deposits are non-refundable and come off the total price of your tattoo. We accept cash, debit or credit (in person), or e-transfers such as Zelle and Venmo.
Custom Tattoo Designing Process:
- Consultation/Briefing - Discuss your tattoo in person or via phone, email, or social media messages. Gather information about placement, imagery, and design.
- Research - Source inspiration and reference material.
- Compose - Create original design and present to Client.
- Review - Exchange ideas, receive Client feedback.
- Revise - Includes one* revision of your design. *Additional revisions are subject to artist's hourly rate.
- Finalize - Create a final digital rendering of your design that will be used as your stencil.
- Approve - Receive Client approval on finished design. We aim to have artwork ready the week before your appointment date when possible.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Maintain Consent - Your collaboration and trust is incredibly meaningful to us, but our Artists have the right to choose what they say yes and no to (“consent”). The creative process can be a journey. Let’s make sure we both are willing to take the ride every step of the way! The receipt of deposit does not grant the Client full control of the Artist’s time, ability, or person. The Artist reserves the right to discontinue work at any time, and to be appropriately compensated for project time to date in the case of a non-resolution. The collaboration process requires consent every step of the way. If you should change ideas, have a new request after initial agreement, if misalignment occurs within the process, or if the Artist chooses for any reason, the Artist reserves the right to discontinue work at any time. Please remember that deposits are non-refundable, though your Artist may choose to refund amounts based on their own assessment of how much time they’ve invested prior to the termination of the project. Changes to projects or project demands must be approved by the consenting Artist. It is recommended that the Client submit changes to the project as new requests, not as expected demands.
Day-Of Tattooing Process:
- Show up ON TIME. We will not work on you if you are more than 15 minutes late. Your artist’s hourly rate applies to late time and all time after your appointment start time. If you are late, if you cancel within 72 hours, or if you no-show, you forfeit your deposit amount. We are happy to move your appointment with 72 hours notice or more. If you need to reschedule, we have a $100 non-refundable rebooking fee that will go toward reserving your next appointment. If you subject your artist to 2 or more cancellations, you forfeit your right to reschedule.
- Show up healthy, showered, hydrated, and fed. You will be required to fill out and sign an intake form upon arrival. We will not work on you if you are ill, stanky, hungover, under the influence, or unrested. We cannot tattoo persons who are pregnant, under the influence, under age 18, or who have tested positive for HIV, AIDS, or Hepatitis. We will not work on skin that is damaged, broken, or sunburned. Please, take extra good care of yourself, especially in the days before our appointment. You are asking your body to endure pain and heal today!
- Stencil - We’ll apply a stencil of your tattoo to the desired location. You’ll have time to view the design on your body before we make it permanent. We’ve done our best to ensure that all will work as planned, but we may need to adjust the location or scale of the design the day-of.
- Tattooing - We’ve done our best to estimate the amount of time we’ll need, but please reserve plenty of time around your appointment as it may take longer than anticipated. Honor your commitment to our reservation. If you need to leave before your tattoo is complete, we cannot guarantee a rebooking right away. It is optimal to take at least 5-10 minutes from each working hour for stretch/hydration breaks.
- Payment - The remaining balance of your tattoo is due the day of your appointment. Accepted payment methods are credit card, debit card, e-transfers such as Zelle and Venmo, and cash.
- Aftercare - You’ll receive written aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing of your new tattoo. Your new tattoo will need 72 hours of very special care and will take approximately 2 - 3 weeks to heal completely*. Avoid sweating, steaming or working out. Never subject a new tattoo to chemicals, fragrances, or sun, and never submerge a new tattoo in water (swimming, bathing, hot-tubbing). *There is always a small chance that your skin may react negatively to the process of tattooing. Tattoo inks can cause allergic reactions in some people and broken skin is vulnerable to infection, irritation by chemicals, fragrances, sunburn, and heat rash. These reactions can destroy the integrity of your tattoo and are not a reflection of the technical application by the artist.
