BOOK A SESSION

Send me your idea through the form on this page, or DM me on Instagram at @eduartalavera_tattoo. Include the placement, a rough size, and any reference you're working from. I'll come back to you on whether it's a fit and roughly how long it'll take.

I'm currently booking around three months ahead. Larger projects that run across several sessions get planned further out, and we'll set the dates together once the design is agreed.

$300 an hour, or $1,500 for a full day. The minimum charge is $300. Most detailed work is booked by the day — dotwork rewards long, uninterrupted sittings.

Yes, $300 to hold your date, and it comes off the final cost of your session — so a full day at $1,500 leaves $1,200 to settle on the day. The deposit is non-refundable, but it moves to a new date if you give me at least 48 hours' notice.

Let me know at least 1 week before your appointment and your deposit moves with you. With less notice than that the deposit is forfeited — a booked day is very hard to fill at short notice.

No. If a healed piece genuinely needs a touch-up, I'll do it free within a reasonable window after it's healed.

Most sessions run three to six hours, and full days are common for larger work. A complete dotwork sleeve is typically 5 to 10 sessions across 5 to 12 months, because of how dense the technique is.

Yes. You need to be 18 or over, and I'll ask for ID at the appointment.
