BOOKING
FEES
Ren’s rate is currently 200/hr for both customs and flash. Day rates are also available upon request. The amount of time taken to tattoo a piece is dependent upon the tattoo’s complexity, size, and placement. Rates can also change based on season, special events, or whether or not Ren is guesting out of town. Once you reach out, either via IG DM or form submission, we will contact you with a price estimate.
TOUCH
UPS
Touch-ups are available free for life and deposits are not needed in order to book one with Ren. However, we ask for you to be mindful of Ren’s time and availability, as touch-ups are a free service and are commonly cancelled. Please let us know 1 week before your scheduled touch-up if you need to cancel. We will require a deposit to reschedule if a touch up is cancelled day-of, or a no-show occurs.
COMMISSIONED DESIGNS AND BUYING FLASH
Commissioned pieces and tattoo tickets are available for individuals who are interested in getting a piece by Ren, but might not be in the area Ren works in. In these cases, Ren offers tattoo tickets for designs created by them to be tattooed physically by other tattoo artists. Pricing for tattoo tickets and customs vary between requests. Commissioned requests are also open for non-tattoo related mediums such as illustration, garment creation, and rug tufting.
SLIDING SCALE TATTOOS
Ren offers a limited amount of slots each month for sliding scale tattoos, as they want to make their tattoos as accessible to everyone. Sliding scale is offered to QBIPOC individuals who are struggling financially but still want to get a tattoo. Ren is happy to work with you in order to find a healthy balance between both livelihoods.
CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT TATTOOS
Because of Ren’s cultural background, some tattoos that are designed contain Asian American imagery or hold other cultural significance. We do not ask anyone to “prove” their identity to us due to the trust Ren has in their clientele to make the most conscious decisions for their bodies. We ask you to be mindful of the cultural ties some of these pieces hold and refrain from getting them if you believe they don’t hold any significance to yourself. Please feel free to contact us if you are not sure if a certain piece has cultural ties. We do not judge, are more than happy to help.
