The approach.
Inquiry
Tell Jessi about the placement, the scale and the idea behind the piece.
Consultation
If it's a fit, you talk it through and map how the piece flows with your body.
Deposit and dates
A deposit holds your first session. Larger work is booked as a series, spaced so each pass can heal.
Sessions
The design is drawn for you and refined together on the day, then built session by session.
Questions.
Something not covered here? Write to tattoos@jessimanchester.com.
How much does a large piece cost?
Large work is priced by the session. The day rate is [$X] for about [6] hours, and most full sleeves take [4 to 6] sessions.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes, for every large project. Once your inquiry is accepted, you set up a [free 20 minute] consultation by video or in person.
How does the deposit work?
A [$200] non-refundable deposit holds your date and comes off your final session. Rescheduling with [72] hours notice keeps your deposit in place.
When will I see my design?
On the day of your first session. Drawing to your body in person gives the best fit, and you adjust it together before starting.
Do you have pre-drawn designs?
Yes. Choose Pre-drawn design in the inquiry and Jessi will send what is available for your placement.
How long between sessions?
Usually [3 to 4] weeks, so each pass can heal before the next.
Can you cover up older work?
Often, yes. Dense blackwork suits it well. Choose Cover-up in the inquiry and attach a clear photo of the area to your email.
