Jess works by appointment in a suite located on the Tracy Street side of Chase Park Warehouse. Type “The Tree Room” or “159 Oneta Street, Athens Ga” into your GPS to get the best directions. It an be a little tricky to find so please don’t hesitate to call us if you feel unsure or turned around! This adorably rustic arts district has ample free parking in lots and on the street.

The shop minimum is $125. Pricing is dependent upon several factors including size, detail, placement, and your body’s reaction to the tattoo process. Tattoos are quoted by the project. Please understand thus number is simply an estimate. The final price could be slightly less or more. If you are working with a strict budget, please make Jess aware so she can do her best to design accordingly.

Tattoos are priced by the project. Prep time and drawing time effect the overall price. for example, simple straightforward tattoo with minimal modifications to the design in an open area will be less than a tattoo that requires tweaking, highly specialized placement, or a covering up an existing tattoo.

First of all, we’re honored to receive your trust! The best way to schedule an appointment or consultation is to submit a request using the link on our the home page or in our profile on instagram. You can also text us at 706-489-1609, and we’ll send you a link to do so. A request form must be submitted to book a consultation.

All of the information we need is in the request form. Just click the link on the home page and it will prompt you to include everything we need to begin the booking process.

Jess is very quick to respond, even if it’s to decline a request, so if you don’t receive an email within a few days please feel to call or text us.

Most of the time, yes. However, during your discussion Jess may decide she’s not the best fit for your project, and that’s ok! It’s our ethical duty to be honest with you so your tattoo gets the interest and attention it deserves.

It is super helpful to send any reference pictures of tattoos, artwork, or photos that you like to help explain your ideas. Please remember we are a custom shop, and will use your references as inspiration only, and not directly copy someone else’s tattoo that you bring in. This will ensure that you get a unique tattoo that is designed just for you.

We firmly believe that commissioning a tattoo is just that, commissioning a piece of custom artwork from an artist that you connect with. We hope you understand. During your consultation we will discuss size, layout, and placement with you, and if you like the direction we’re going we’ll move forward. We strongly encourage you to look over our portfolio on instagram to ensure Jess is the right fit for your desired aesthetic.

A nonrefundable deposit is made through a Calendly link. If you have a strict budget please make sure to note that in the request form so we can work on your tattoo in sessions, and design accordingly. Your deposit will go towards the cost of your tattoo, and will be applied to the last session. We recommend you look over our deposit policy before making a payment.

We are fortunate to sometimes receive more requests for tattoo work than we can accommodate at any given time, so if your design does not fit within our preferred tattooing styles, or we simply can’t take on any new work at the moment we might decline. We don’t want to compromise quality or time spent with clients to take on a higher volume of work. What we do want is for you to end up with the artist that has the time, interest, and ability to give you the attention your tattoo deserves, and who will do an amazing job, even if it’s not us.

We currently are NOT allowing any companions in the studio, but they may wait in the shared lobby at the entrance of the building.

Yes, and no. Primary numbing products have a negative effect on the skin’s texture which not only makes the application of ink more difficult, and cause ink loss. Applying numbing cream before the tattoo is not allowed and will result in rescheduling. We have Bactine with lidocaine that Jess may apply after the line work, and several times during color. we’ve found this is best way for pain management during the tattoo process and generally result in very little ink loss.

Do:

*Get a good night’s rest.

*Stay hydrated.

*Bring snacks and drinks for long sessions.

*Wear appropriate clothing that gives the artist access to the area being tattooed. Ink stains happen so don’t wear anything expensive or sentimental.

*Bring a pillow or a blanket if you are easily cold or uncomfortable.

Don’t:

*Use numbing cream

*Drink caffeine.

*Take aspirin.

*Be hungover.

*Show up intoxicated.
