Things To Know:
Feel free to email me with questions, but please read all of my info beforehand.
I like to focus on: my designs, linework, abstract patterns such as streamlines (my squiggly designs), ornamental/decorative work
Custom Ideas I am all about: streamlines, vines/ plants, flowers, animals, olde english, single line designs, sparklez, ear designs, anything abstract or ornamental, small random objects
Ideas I am not all about: tattoos that do not resemble what is in the “portfolio” tab or on my Instagram such as realism and heavy traditional shading/color
*My available designs are on Instagram in highlights under my profile, or in a book you can browse in person
*I’m always happy to make custom designs based off of existing or past designs
*We can do as many tattoos in one appointment as we both have the energy for, just specify in your form
*I don’t have a preference between hand poking or machine making a design, besides ears and nipples are always hand poked
Where I’m located: My home shop is in Durham NC at Creative Tattoo Service
*I guest spot annually in LA around fall, every couple months in providence RI (where I’m from), Pennsylvania for the Philadelphia tattoo convention every January, and sporadically in random cities I vacation to, or surrounding towns in North Carolina such as Asheville.
How to book:
*Go to my “Appointments” page which you can find on the homepage or menu in the top right. There you will find if I am currently accepting appointments, or when I may be.
*If I am booking you will click the button that appears on that page which leads you to a request form which you’ll enter all your juicy details, or as many as you have.
*At this time my lovely shop manager, Spence, responds to my forms for my home shop in Durham NC within 1-7 days of them being received. If you’d like to speak with me directly you’re welcome to just send me an email instead of filling out a form. He just saves me a bunch of time as I handle all of my booking for guest spots and conventions that I frequently do.
*If you fill out a form for a guest spot please allow 1-14 days to recieve a response from me.
* Please do not Instagram direct message me about dates, rescheduling, or design ideas, if you’d like to talk to me about something email me at sofiasparkleztattoos@gmail.com. My dms are constantly flooded with people responding to my stories and the such.
*I require a deposit before your appointment is solidified, these are usually $50-100 depending on size of your appointment. You will be prompted to do this when your request form is answered!
**DEPOSITS ARE NONREFUNDABLE**
*My minimum price for tattoos is $150, my hourly rate is typically $200, and forms of payment are Cash, Venmo, Card (preference in that order)
*submitting a request doesn’t guarantee you an appointment, sometimes I’m prioritizing certain concepts, new or old clients, or just simply get too many requests than I have time for!
Providence Info:
-In June 2024 I moved to Durham, NC. I come back and guest spot at Wild Card Tattoo in providence every 1-3 months for just a few days at a time. As of right now I’m transitioning into accepting new clients, as I’ve only been tattooing existing clients on my past guest spots in RI. If you’d like to be updated as to when I’ll be back and booking for prov, you can be added to my newsletter by entering your email in on my “appointments” page of this website!
- I typically annually do the Tommy’s tattoo convention which is sometime in October, and the New England Tattoo expo which is sometime in April, both are held at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT.
-If you’re from the providence area and you want to come get tattooed in Durham, please do, it’s awesome here, and I’d be happy to give you recs on things to do and the such if you reach out to me<3
Other things:
*I prefer tips in the form of cash or cute things :)
*I will tattoo you no matter what your existence consists of or looks like
*I travel and guest spot semi-often In states around the US, which I announce on Instagram. Feel free to email me requesting to come to your city if I don’t typically! I love to go new places!
*I love my career and all of you so much
