Fill out my BOOKING FORM, and I will respond as soon as possible to confirm the appointment.

On July 8th, I will be moving from Asheville, North Carolina, back northeast to Portland, Maine.

If you live in Maine, Connecticut, North Carolina, or anywhere on the East Coast and are willing to travel a bit, you can fill out my WAITLIST FORM. The next time I will be scheduling appointments in your area, I will reach out to set an appointment with you.

To make an appointment, I require a non-refundable deposit ranging from $50 to $200, depending on the tattoo. The deposit holds your place and comes off the final price of the tattoo.

For multiple session tattoos, the deposit will come off the total at the last session.

My rate is $200/hour.

A simple breakdown of what you can expect to pay on the day of your appointment:
- HALF DAY (2.5 hours) of tattooing is $500
- FULL DAY (5 hours) of tattooing is $1,000

Every tattoo/project/client is unique and includes so many variables that it is impossible to give set prices. The final cost of the tattoo will be given at the end of the session. I am happy to provide you with an estimated time frame before your appointment to give you a better idea of what to expect.

For tattoos that require multiple sessions, please communicate if you’d like to work with a budget. “Half-day” sessions are a perfect solution if you can’t afford to sit for a “full day”.

For example, a tattoo that will take 10 hours to complete will need two “full-day” sessions or four “half-day” sessions.

Tattoo designs are shown upon arrival to your appointment. Very rarely do significant changes have to be made. When significant changes have to be made, for each hour spent making these edits, an additional drawing fee of $50/hour will be added to the final price of the tattoo. Please be as specific as possible about the details of your idea to limit this from happening.

Lastly, certain tattoos (such as a big floral sleeve) may require extensive stenciling or hand drawing parts of the stencil. I charge $100/hour for time spent stenciling.

My goal is to give you the tattoo you want and deserve, without letting finances get in the way.

I do offer Afterpay. When filling out the waitlist form, please check the box if you are interested in this option, and I will discuss this with you when setting up our appointment.

You may pay with cash or card, tax will be included. Cash tips are greatly appreciated.

I also offer Afterpay. Please check the box on the waitlist form if you are interested in this option. When setting up your appointment, we can discuss this option in detail.

Typically, consultations aren’t necessary as I can understand what someone wants done through their booking/waitlist form.

If you feel you can convey your point better in person, over a phone call, or video call, we can schedule a consultation.

If you’d like to schedule a consultation before making an appointment, a $50 deposit will be required. If you’d like to schedule an appointment after the consultation, the $50 deposit will be transferred to cover your tattoo appointment deposit.

In most cases, unfortunately, no.

Very rarely, depending on the tattoo or situation, I will send a sketch over one or two days before the appointment.

The design will be ready when you arrive to your appointment. We can make edits to the artwork at this time if needed. If significant changes are to be made, an additional drawing fee will be added to the final price of the tattoo, $50/hour. Please be specific about the details of your idea to limit this from happening.

I have to draw several tattoos weekly and typically only have time to draw tattoo designs the day before the appointment. Only intricate or large-scale projects are started about a week before the appointment.

In the week leading up to your appointment, you should be well-hydrated. It is helpful if the part of your body to be tattooed is well moisturized. Using lotion on the area to be tattooed leading up to the appointment is great.

Before you come in, have a healthy meal and drink plenty of fluids. Feel free to bring food or snacks, and water to your appointment, especially for larger tattoos. Dress comfortably and appropriately for the area in which you will be tattooed. Please bring something like a book or music to keep you busy. I love talking with clients; however, I prefer little talking during any time spent editing/drawing and during the actual tattoo process so I can concentrate.

Please come to your appointment at the scheduled time. There is no need to show up earlier (a few minutes is okay, not 15-30 minutes, please!). When you arrive, we'll review the tattoo design. If necessary, minimal editing/adjustments can be made at this time. After the design is approved and finalized, several options will be printed and overlaid on the area to be tattooed to determine the best size. I’ll finalize my setup, then we’ll begin the tattoo. For larger tattoos/all-day appointments, I take a quick snack break. You can also eat at this time as well. Once the tattoo is complete or the session ends for the day, the tattoo will be cleaned, photographed, and bandaged. You will receive verbal and written aftercare instructions. I’ll give you the total cost for the tattoo, you’ll pay for the session, and we’ll set up the next appointment (if applicable).

To reschedule/cancel your appointment, please email me at katie.white.artstudios@gmail.com.

Deposits can be transferred one time for a reschedule/cancelation that is given with more than 48 hours notice. If canceling your appointment, I will hold the deposit for up to a year until you are able to reschedule.

If you reschedule or cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment, your deposit is forfeited entirely. You must put down a new deposit to schedule another appointment.

After your tattoo is finished, I will explain the aftercare process in detail and send you home with written instructions. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.

I heal all of my tattoos using Sorry Mom Tattoo Film, a clear bandage you leave on for up to six days. It’s breathable and not the same as plastic wrap. You can shower with it on, your clothes can cover it, go to the gym and sweat, roll in the mud—it’s incredible.

If you have sensitive skin or issues with adhesives or do not wish to use the tattoo film, I will give you alternative aftercare instructions to heal your tattoo.
