FAQs

  • Email me HawkesTattoo@gmail.com

    Send me your idea, budget, and reference photos. It may take a day or two to hear back from me but I do my best to reply quickly.

  • My rate is $180/hour with a minimum of $100. I do take a $100-$200 deposit that will go towards your tattoo session.

    Deposits and fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to other artists at New Rose Tattoo. Your deposit is subject to forfeiture if you do not show up for your appointment or do not let me know 48 hours before your appointment if you need to reschedule.

    I understand life happens so please communicate with me as soon as plans change or if you are not feeling physically well enough to attend your appointment.

    The shop asks for a deposit to hold an appointment, which can be paid via Venmo or by credit card over the phone. To pay with a card, call the shop (503) 236-7878

  • Animals, skulls, bones, bugs/insects, ornamental jewelry, Victorian hands, lady heads, florals, foliage, botanicals, mushrooms, macabre, occult, fantasy

  • Sometimes I will send a rough sketch in advance, but usually I don’t start drawing your design until a few days before your appointment. I always allow time for reasonable changes at the beginning of the session.

    I understand a lot of trust goes into the process of requesting a custom design and am happy to work with you if you have concerns about anything.

  • Cash is preferred, but I can also accept Venmo or credit card with a 3% fee

  • Bring your photo ID, water, a snack, and anything else to help you feel comfortable (headphones, a book, iPad, hoodie, stuffed animal, etc). Wear comfy clothes, preferably in dark colors in case of any ink drops.

    Drink plenty of water and eat a decent meal before your appointment. Do not drink alcohol for at least a day before your appointment. Sugary snacks are often helpful during the tattoo process as a distraction as well as preventing you from feeling light-headed.
