Booking Request for tattoo Ceremony
I am honored that you are interested in working with me for your tattoo ritual. This email includes info about me, my process, energy exchange, the studio, intake questions, and covid protocols. It is lengthy, but I ask that you please take the time to read thoroughly. This helps ensure we have a shared understanding of the process and allows me more time to work on your ritual.
This is the first step in connecting for tattoo. It gives me an idea of your vision and needs and helps me determine how to best work with you. If we are a good fit to work together, you will be sent information on how to schedule your reading (for custom pieces), schedule your tattoo ceremony, prepare for your session, and aftercare. If I am not the appropriate practitioner for you I am happy to make referrals.
Please note that I have a more illustrative style. I do not work strictly with traditional motifs from the Philippines, although they may be incorporated. If this is something you require I am happy to offer referrals to other practitioners.
Please keep in mind that you are receiving a tattoo as ritual healing. It takes patience, intention, time and energy from the moment we connect.
COVID-19 Protocols
This protocol is stricter than other services I offer because we will be spending an extended period of time together in close proximity. I require both testing and masking – more details will be sent out if we move forward to booking an appointment.
Energy Exchange
The energy exchange for agimat is priced at a flat rate/sliding scale with a $50 non-refundable deposit. Please check available designs for price.
Custom tattoo ceremonies are $1000-2000 sliding scale with a $400 non-refundable deposit.
All deposits go towards the final cost of your tattoo should you keep your appointment. There is a more thorough breakdown of this in the FAQ. These rates are lower than colleagues doing similar work because I am newer to this practice. Rates will increase with my experience and skill.
The Studio
I currently work out of a private studio in Baltimore, MD. I will send you the exact address closer to the date. Please do not disclose this location to others. I also occasionally guest at other tattoo studios.
Please be clear, succinct, honest and mindful of the length of your answers. Any emails or booking forms with exceptionally lengthy answers will not be read or considered, as that is precious time and energy only reserved for confirmed rituals or other healing services offered.
