Please describe your tattoo idea in full detail and attach all the images and references you like. Also send a photo of the location on your body where you would like the tattoo done.

More information and pictures you provide - easier it will be to create something you’ll be happy to live with. If you don’t have a particular idea in mind you can just send a few Alex’s works that you like the most and he will be able to create something new based on those ideas.

At the beginning of your first appointment, we will discuss and finalize your tattoo design. Designs will not be prepared or discussed prior to the session. This process might take one to two hours and is a part of the session’s time. Sometimes the design can be done by freehand, to reach the best flow or to combine it with the other tattoos you already have. This process is also included in the session’s time.

Keep in mind that large projects such as full arm sleeves and back pieces may take 8 to 11 sessions, and leg sleeves take even longer - 14-20 sessions, depending on variables such as skin type, the size and detail of the tattoo, and other factors not listed here.

Also please note that I don’t create basic tattoos, every piece I make features delicate details and ultra-fine craftsmanship. Giving every single element my full attention is an essential part of my process. I believe every element deserves the same level of care and precision, no matter how small. Nothing in my work is rushed or treated as an afterthought, every inch is created with intention.

Sometimes I do small size tattoos. In that case you will be charged $500 per hour, but not more than $3000 for the full small project.

As this is an artistic project, there is no way to guarantee the exact amount of sessions a tattoo will take upfront – every project and person is unique.

Our session starts at 12 pm and ends at 6 pm, including one lunch break.

If you’re late for your appointment it will still end at 6 pm and you’ll be charged in full. Please let me know if you are running late. You can just email me in that case.

Please do not drink alcohol for several days prior to your session – this may cause excessive bleeding during the session and cause an issue with the healing process.

Make sure to be well-rested before coming into the appointment and eat a meal beforehand to prevent low blood sugar issues.

Please bring your own lunch and snacks. Tattoos are much less painful and your artist is able to work more proficiently when your body is nourished and fed. We have a refrigerator and a microwave free to use at any time.

If you do not show up for the appointment - you lose your deposit and we will not be able to work together.

If you have any health problems, allergies, and contraindications - please warn us about this in advance.

We charge $3000 for a one-day session. Payments for tattoo sessions are due immediately at the end of each session.

A deposit is necessary to confirm your appointment - this is $500. Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit can be paid in cash or online using Zelle.

The deposit serves to reserve all your booking dates and will be applied to the final tattoo session if the project requires multiple sessions. If it is a single session, it will be applied to that instead.

If you need to change the date of your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, you must let us know at least 7 days prior to the session so we can rearrange our schedules. A new deposit will be required to continue working together if you cancel or reschedule with less than 7 days’ notice. You can reschedule your appointment only once without losing your deposit.

We are currently taking appointments at the Off-Gray Studio in Seattle, WA. The studio’s address:

1200 Westlake Ave N #210, Seattle, WA 98109
