So, you want to get a custom tattoo?

    You’ve gone to the other places and gotten run around on how to go about getting a custom tattoo. It seems like at most shops, if you can’t pick it off the wall or bring exactly what you want fully prepared, it’s like pulling teeth!

     Fortunately you’ve found Fatty’s Custom Tattooz. At Fatty’s we make the process of getting the custom tattoo of your dreams easy and comfortable. You will notice that our walls are not covered with typical “pick it off the wall” tattoo flash. Our walls proudly display original paintings and art by the actual tattoo artists themselves. We are artists that specialize in creating custom art for our clients on demand.

If you are ready for your custom tattoo this is how it works:

     Be prepared! Come to Fatty’s with all of your reference material. It can be a photograph, a piece of art, leaves, an object, rough sketches, or just an idea or any and all things that inspire your tattoo idea. The more you bring the better. You are also welcome to write corresponding notes with your material. Its always best if you bring hard copies of your ideas instead of computer disks, sticks, or rely on the Internet.     Although you do not need to make an appointment to discuss your ideas with an artist, we recommend that you call before coming down to see if the artist you want is working and what their schedule will be for the day. It’s always best if we can talk to you between clients. The artist will discuss your ideas with you, possibly give you some recommendations and guidance, and then be able to give you a time and price estimate.

Making an appointment:

     Although we do accept walk ins, you will most often need to make an appointment. After you have discussed your tattoo ideas and pricing with the artist, its time to make your appointment! You will need to make a down payment (usually $100) and schedule your appointment, which must be done in person at Fatty’s.

Creating your custom tattoo:

     After you have discussed your tattoo and made your appointment, the artist will create your design. This may be done off site but is usually done while you wait, either by drawing up a stencil or creating a freehand design (with pens) straight onto the skin. Once you have approved your tattoo design, then the tattooing will commence!
