How to book with Sage

Once you decide you’d like to work with us, use our “submit your tattoo idea” page and form to submit your basic info to our Front Desk.

When we review our weekly submissions, the Front Desk will reach out to you for any additional information including your images and any clarifications before passing along your submission to our Artists.

We generally book 4-6 weeks in advance using our “Submit your tattoo idea” process. Appointments are occasionally available on shorter-notice, depending on many factors but we do not accept walk-in’s for tattoo appointments - Our Art Gallery has daily hours.

Please feel free to email us or call during our business hours if you have any other questions.

To book with Sage, simply select her name in the “Artist” drop down option and fill the rest of the form out.

Designs

Every design we make is a collaboration between the artist and the client.

All of the information on our “Submit your tattoo idea” page is required to create the tattoo you envision. Images, references and especially crudely drawn sketches are always welcomed as they allow the artist to better understand your wants and needs.

It is okay to send images of other artist’s work but please understand that we create our own art based on the images and ideas you provide.

Our artists will do reproductions of classic art.
