Books are OPEN for

SANTA CRUZ

NON-booking related inquiries can reach me here: tattoos@lpotts.com

BOOKING INFO (scroll down for submission form, but please also read all this info I know it’s a lot but it’s very important stuff):

I prefer to book via this webpage and not Instagram. Please use the submission form below!

*Due to the fact that I am immunocompromised, I am masking during appointments. Ideally, clients will avoid large gatherings near their appointment date as to avoid exposing me to any illness. Masks always appreciated.

Guest policy:

Please be aware that there is limited space for guests. Please ask me if you plan on bringing someone! Also, if you or your guest have ANY symptoms (Covid or any sickness) right before your appointment date, let me know ASAP as I will hang on to your deposit and we can get you rescheduled!*

  • Pricing is $200/hr and I require a deposit of $100-200 (depending on tattoo size) to secure an appointment.

  • Deposits go toward the cost of the tattoo and are nonrefundable if you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled date/time, don’t show up to your appointment, or are over 20 minutes late.

  • I have an awesome assistant named Ash (she/her) who helps me with email submissions off and on and Ash is the best so be nice to Ash ok thanks!

  • Consultations are on an “as needed” basis

Please allow me up to 2 weeks for email replies. We are humans and have a lot of emails to read so we appreciate your patience.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS:

I do NOT do copies of other artists’ work. Each tattoo is a unique piece we work on together to create. References are only to give me an idea of the direction you’d like to go in with your piece and/or the placement you’re interested in. I love when clients send mock-ups, reference photos, etc, as I am a very visual learner.

I won’t be able to tattoo every client who submits their requests. Sometimes things just might not click or work out perfectly and that’s ok!

I’m prioritizing people who ask for projects in my style and allow creativity on my end. Ultimately, this is a collaboration but please keep in mind my creative constraints and style.

WHAT I LIKE TO TATTOO: I’d like to focus on more tattoo subjects that make me happy and honor my preferred style of making art (I love bold lines, crosshatching or vintage woodcut style, and interesting placements). I also love: stories or feelings, abstract ideas, animal and plant subjects, strange creatures, landscapes, and anything ocean related.

Phew! Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you soon!
