Please note that booking is currently limited/closed booking will resume mid summer for fall.
Due to the overwhelming requests for smaller projects, such as a single sleeve or single leg, Nathan's booking is currently limited to very large projects. Examples being - Two full legs, Two full arms, Full chest and stomach, Full back, or (preferably) any combination of those. As an artist, Nathan has goals to work toward larger projects and full body suits.
PUT THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL:
-BASIC TATTOO CONCEPT PLEASE NOTE THAT NATHAN ONLY TATTOOS HIS OWN ART WORK. WHILE HE CAN INCORPORATE CERTAIN STYLISTIC ELEMENTS, SUCH AS CLASSICAL PATTERNS AND SACRED IMAGES INTO THE FINISHED PIECE, THE MORE ARTISTIC FREEDOM HE HAS, THE BETTER. -BODY PLACEMENT- -SIZE- -PHONE NUMBER- -4-6 PICTURE EXAMPLES OF NATHAN'S WORK THAT YOU LIKE YOU CAN CHECK OUT @NATHANMOULDTATTOO ON INSTAGRAM -PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA YOU WANT NATHAN TO WORK ON -NATHAN WILL CONSIDER COVER-UPS IF THEY ARE PALM-SIZED IF THE AREA YOU WANT TO GET TATTOOED IS BLANK, YOU DO HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF HAVING YOUR PROJECT ACCEPTED. PLEASE TAKE PHOTOS FROM ALL ANGLES SO THAT THE ENTIRE AREA IS VISIBLE. THIS IS TO HELP WITH SEEING THE SIZE OF THE TATTOO AND YOUR SKIN TONE.
NATHAN ONLY TATTOOS USING THE COLORS BLACK, RED AND WHITE. NATHAN DOES HAVE A FEW SHORT DAYS SET ASIDE FOR SMALLER PROJECTS INCLUDING: PALMS OF HANDS, TOTEM DESIGNS AND NECK PIECES FEEL FREE TO CONTACT WITH OTHER DESIGNS IDEAS
COVER-UPS :
NATHAN PREFERS TO WORK WITH BARE SKIN, WITH NO PRE-EXISTING PIECES THAT MUST BE WORKED AROUND OR INCORPORATED INTO THE NEW TATTOO. REQUESTS WITH A BLANK CANVAS TAKE PRIORITY. HE WILL TAKE COVER-UPS INTO CONSIDERATION, JUST KNOW THAT THE CHANCES ARE LOWER OF THE PROJECT BEING ACCEPTED. IF NATHAN DOES TAKE ON YOUR COVER-UP, HERE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. THE NEW PIECE WILL HAVE TO BE AT LEAST THREE TIMES LARGER THAN THE EXISTING TATTOO YOU WANT COVERED UP. NATHAN IS HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU IN DESIGNING YOUR COVER-UP FROM YOUR BASIC CONCEPT, BUT BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED, HE MUST RETAIN 100% CREATIVE CONTROL OVER THE LAYOUT AND DESIGN TO ENSURE THAT IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE AT COMPLETELY COVERING YOUR EXISTING PIECE, APPROPRIATELY FIT THE AREA OF THE BODY ON WHICH IT IS PLACED, AND MEET HIS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS.
WHITE INK ON BLACK INK TATTOOS
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TATTOOS ARE RESERVED FOR A SELECT FEW PIECES. THESE TYPES OF TATTOOS SOMETIMES TAKE YEARS TO COMPLETE. THE PROCESS IS EXPERIMENTAL. INDIVDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY DUE TO CERTAIN COLORS FROM PRE-EXISTING TATTOOS CONTINUING TO SHOW THROUGH THE FINISHED PIECE, AS WELL AS YOUR SKIN'S NATURAL PIGMENTATION.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT THESE WHITE-OVER-BLACK TATTOOS DEMAND, KEEP THIS IN MIND: BLACKING OUT AN ARM MIGHT REQUIRE SITTING FOR 8 TO 12 HOURS. YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST SIX MONTHS UNTIL THE WHITE INK CAN BE STARTED. GOING OVER TOP WITH WHITE INK MAY REQUIRE SITTING FOR 12 TO 15 HOURS OR MORE. TYPICALLY, THE WHITE WILL HAVE TO BE APPLIED TWO TO FOUR TIMES.
SCHEDULING & DEPOSITS
YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY USE YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD, BUT WE WILL CHARGE A 3% CONVENIENCE FEE. NATHAN ONLY BOOKS CLIENTS FOR FULL-DAY APPOINTMENTS. HE WILL SET ASIDE CERTAIN DAYS FOR SMALLER TATTOOS, SUCH AS PALMS AND NECK TOTEMS, AND THEY WILL BE PRICED BY THE PIECE. IF SOMETHING REQUIRES JUST A FEW HOURS TO FINISH AND IS NOT ANOTHER FULL DAY, HE WILL WORK OUT THE PRICE TO FINISH ON A CASE TO CASE BASIS.
A FULL DAY REQUIRES A $500 DEPOSIT, $1,000 FOR WHITE OVER BLACK INK PROJECTS. THE DEPOSIT WILL BE APPLIED TO YOUR FINAL SESSION WHEN YOUR TATTOO IS COMPLETED. IF YOU NEED TO RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT, YOUR DEPOSIT WILL CONTINUE TO BE APPLIED TO YOUR FINAL TATTOO SESSION, PROVIDED THAT YOU GIVE 48 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE. IF YOU ARE A NO-SHOW OR CANCEL WITHOUT 48 HOURS NOTICE, YOU WILL NEED TO PUT DOWN ANOTHER DEPOSIT TO RESCHEDULE.
DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND ARE ONLY APPLIED TO THE ORIGINAL AGREED UPON PROJECT.
