Welcome to Voluta Tattoo's online scheduling system. Remember: Readers prevail!
How do I schedule?
How much, how and when do I pay?
...and that one question we're all afraid to ask: ANSWERED!
How much?
Determine the cost of your session by your artist's hourly rate (your artist told you at your consult) times the length of session you select. Plus design rate, which varies by artist experience, if any. Huh?
Design Rate:
For research and custom design of your piece, which you take with you. NOBODY who comes to Voluta will ever get your same design. That's just silly. You commissioned an artist to design art for you like the fancy folks who once hired Michelangelo for a few ceilings you may have heard of. Well done! Way to love yourself that much!
An experienced artist may be able to draw your dream tattoo directly on you with an Sharpie, then tattoo. That artist naturally charges more than the younger artist who has lots of computing, book digging, tracing and patterning to do. One takes less time one takes more time, usually works out to be about the same cost. Either way, you win.
Tattoo Rate:
For a devoted, fun, focused and often chatty session of serious permanent inlay. You'll bond, your artist will worry (so you don't have to) but will focus through and rock your ink. It takes a ridiculously steady hand and big nerves to take someone's skin as canvas. More experience usually means a better, faster, more consistent artist. Lower rates mean NOT that the artist sucks. It means they are less cavalier, less fast, less experienced, and know they have a whole lot to prove. The lower rate for a slower artist balances the higher rate of the faster artist. As long as the end result is golden it is remarkable how often the final cost is almost the same. Makes sense once you hear it like that, right?
How do I pay?
Cash only. Thanks for understanding our entirely legal choice to keep our simple business model simple. We appreciate that you have one more errand to run, which might involve a drive-through with your bank. It's uncommon unless you've ever been to a carnival, beerfest or the islands. If you know Voluta, you know we work hard to spoil you. Thanks for going the extra mile for us.
1. Have your personal calendar out and ready.
2. From the options below choose your artist and choose your service. (Touch-ups will be scheduled by your artist in person, so don't book those here)
3. Select from your artist's available appointments and enter the secret password (that your artist gave you), your email, and your REAL cell number.
4. Wait for your artist to e-confirm your appointment, and you're done!
***NOTE: YOUR APPOINTMENT IS NOT LOCKED UNTIL YOUR ARTIST CONFIRMS IT. Don't worry, we love you and we see your request!***

Note your ATM withdraw limit or make a little time for a stop into the bank before your session. How much to withdraw? Overdraw. You can always put it back.
When do I pay?
When do I pay?
At the end of the session. If you like it, you pay. If not...look again in the mirror!
ANSWERED: The etiquette question that sweats the most palms.
You never have to tip your tattoo artist, no matter what the web or your last artist told you. Many people do if they love the service. Some folks tip cash, some booze, some cookies, some books, some a warm smile. Some tell all their friends. We are just glad you came!
Soon your artist will confirm your appointment via email. As well, you will receive email reminders one week before AND one day before your appointment to confirm it. Your artist's personal cell will be included in case something comes up at the last minute (please keep it secret). We are requiring your number in case something comes up last minute on our end (we will keep yours secret, too).

Flexibility keeps the world going round but please never stand up your artist. Further appointments will not be offered.
