Frequently asked questions
are you currently booking?
Yes! I try to only book out a couple weeks out and typically book only two appointments a day to have time for last minute tattoos/walkins. You can click on the booking section of my website to email me about your tattoo or you can always dm me on instagram @gabrielapaz. Appointments require a NON-REFUNDABLE $60 deposit on every appointment. The deposit will go toward the final price of the tattoo and is redeemed on the last session of the tattoo. A 24 hour notice is required to reschedule, not doing so will forfeit your deposit.
do you do walkins?
You can text or call the shop (541) 515-2828 to see if I have time or you can also DM me on instagram for walk-ins/appointments , @gabrielapaz
what are your rates/hourly?
The minimum price for any tattoo starts at $100, I charge by the piece, which is based on size and location. Time consuming tattoos that take longer than 2 hours I charge the hourly rate of $200 an hour. Keep in mind that I tattoo rather quickly so don’t be afraid to ask for a quote or you can always ask how much a tattoo I already did costs. For example most hand sized tattoos take me less than 3 hours and I would charge $250-$500 depending on detail.
how do i take care of my tattoo?
At the end of every tattoo I will explain in person how to care for your new tattoo and send you home with an aftercare sheet. I have detailed instructions right on my website here.
What style tattoos do you do?
I try to mostly do stuff in the style seen in my portfolio. I will do most styles EXCEPT portraits, realism and geometric. If you have an image in mind that doesn’t look like the tattoos I have in my portfolio just send me a DM @gabrielapaz or an email.
Can i bring a friend/family with me to my appointment?
Absolutely! But our shop is rather small so we ask you only bring one or two maximum with you please.
can i see the drawing of my tattoo before my appointment?
Unfortunately no. With a busy schedule I draw for every appointment the night before, if I drew everyones design a week before the appointment I wouldn’t have time to get ready for the next tattoo and so forth. The day of your appointment I always allow time for any last minutes changes, as long as I am able to rework the design in an adequate amount of time.
do i need a consultation before my appointment?
Most consultation type questions/information I gather during the email/DM phase. If I think I am unable to figure out exactly what you are looking for or the tattoo is a large on going project I will book a free 15 minute consultation for us to meet and discus the details of your project. This is very case by case type situation. You are always welcome to book a consultation with me if you prefer.
