Consultations are free and can be booked online at: http://www.kram1art.com/consult
They are done via phone call (calls will be made from a 919 area code number, so don’t worry, it’s not someone looking to talk to you about your car’s extended warranty).

Unfortunately, I’m not able to show you your design until the day of the appointment. We will, however, have time to discuss the design and make any small adjustments before any tattooing begins. In rare instances where larger changes need to be made, a rescheduling may be required to give me more time to make the agreed-upon redesign.

Deposits are required to book any tattoo appointments. The $200 deposit goes toward the final cost of the tattoo. In the case of multi-session pieces, it will go towards the cost the final session.

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so at least 2 days in advance. Deposits remain on file if you need to reschedule your appointment. If you cancel or reschedule within 2 days of your appointment, your deposit is forfeited, and another deposit must be placed in order to reschedule.

Tattoo appointments are booked for either half days (average of 3-4 hours) or full days (average of 6-7 hours) and are charged at flat rates. Tattoos that would take less than a half day are priced at an hourly rate.

Yes! Everyone’s skin is different, and some colors may heal differently than others. I love working with all kinds of skin, and if you are open to a little bit of color experimentation, we will find the colors that will work best for your tattoo.

Be sure to eat a good meal before your session and feel free to bring some snacks that can be eaten during breaks to help maintain your blood sugar throughout the tattoo.

I do not recommend using numbing creams before our tattoo session. These creams pre-agitate the skin, making it more difficult to apply the pigment, and can limit how far I can take the skin each session. After a short while, the numbing wears off and can hurt more than had none been applied to begin with.
