How do I book a tattoo appointment with you?
I open my books a few times throughout the year. I will only accept submissions through my website. Please send me a booking request form on the day I open my books. I generally book for four month s at a time.
My next booking date is March 6th at 10am for custom requests . I will not accept any booking request before that date. To stay up to date follow me on my IG: @Kelseyleightattoos
What does '“Books open” or “Books closed” mean?
“Books open” means that I am accepting new clients and currently booking tattoo projects.
'“Books closed' I have filled all available time-slots within a given period of time. This is done to avoid booking appointments too far in advance. My books generally stay open for one day.
I have a few questions about the tattoo I’m wanting to book with you. Do I need to wait until your books open for me to contact you?
No, if you have any questions about a tattoo (pricing, if it’s a project I’m interested in, etc.) you can email me at Kelseyleigh.booking@gmail.com. Please be patient. It can take up to 2 weeks for me to respond.
Custom Designs and Pre-Drawn Designs(Flash)
I do both custom work (collaborative between me and the client) and flash pieces (pre-drawn designs). At times, I will close custom requests and accept requests for flash only. I will indicate whether I am accepting custom requests on my Instagram profile and online contact form.
You will not be able to see your design until the day of our appointment.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, I require a $150 deposit depending on the size of the tattoo. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
How do I pay my deposit?
I will send you a link
Can I see the tattoo design before my scheduled appointment?
No, I never send any tattoo designs to my clients before the appointment. Most of the tattoos I do are drawn on “free handed” (see image below). I leave plenty of time in the appointment to make changes if needed.

Do you do cover ups?
Yes, but, I’m very selective on what I will take on as a cover up. It needs to be small or faded. I recommend a few sessions of laser tattoo removal before trying to get a tattoo covered.
