Booking & FAQ

Appointments

How much do you charge?
 We charge $225/hour and have a 1 hour minimum. We can't give you a specific price for how much your tattoo will cost you ahead of time, but a time estimate for the tattoo session is something that can be discussed during a consult once you are booked with an artist.

Do you take walk-ins?
We are an appointment-only shop. We do sometimes have last-minute cancellations, and when that happens the artists will post on their Instagram with a pre-drawn design that they're interested in doing for a same-day appointment. (Links to each artist’s Instagram are under the “Artists” tab on this site).

How do I get an appointment?
Signing up for our mailing list is the best way to get updates on when we are booking an artist. The link for our mailing list sign-up can be found at the top of our website page. You can also keep an eye on our social media accounts (our Wonderland Instagram is linked at the bottom of this page), our Facebook page (also linked below), or check the booking info section of this website for updates. When our books are open, we'll post a submission form here on our booking page. When booking any and all appointments, as a shop policy we take a $100 non-refundable deposit.  Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we cannot guarantee an appointment for everyone, but we book as many people as we possibly can each time. We only book appointments with new clients through our submission process and we do not have a waitlist.

I submitted an idea with an artist, when will they contact me about my appointment?
Because of the volume of emails and submissions our artists receive, our shop manager is only able to contact the people we are going to book. When books are filled, we'll make a post on social media and update the booking info section of this website to let everyone know that we won't be making any more calls. It typically takes a few weeks for us to finish booking everyone.  

Do any of your artists ever travel to other cities?
Maybe! Follow their individual Instagram accounts and they'll make sure to post about any travel plans they have coming up. Generally speaking though, we're Portland-based!

But I've submitted several times!
Why haven’t I gotten an appointment yet?
Please keep in mind that we get A LOT of submissions and it's not personal- if you feel like you're getting passed over repeatedly, it's possible that the artist doesn't feel like your project is something they'd be the best artist for, but it's more likely that the call list filled up quickly. 

Can you put me on a wait list?
We do not have a wait list. The only way we book appointments is through the artists’ booking forms or snatching up a last-minute "up for grabs" design that is posted on Instagram when there's a cancellation.

Can I pay extra to make sure I get an appointment?
We appreciate that people are excited enough about our work to ever even offer this, but no- definitely not. We book appointments this way because it's fair to our artists and to our clients, and we are not interested in offering special treatment to people who might have a financial advantage over others. 

I live far away or have specific travel plans, how do I book an appointment?
Exactly like our in-town clients! If you submit an idea with an artist and end up on the list of people to book, our shop manager will make sure to book you towards the end of our 3-month window, so that you have more wiggle room for planning. 

I don't do social media, can you email me when books open up?
We now have a Wonderland mailing list! If you don't do any social media, you can sign up for the mailing list to receive booking updates via email. The sign up link is located at the top of this page.
