BOOKINGS

Books are managed on a first in, first served basis so the quicker you are at responding, the more likely you are to get booked in the time you prefer. If you do not make into his books before they close please be patient, we are making a waiting list for 2024. Bobby will also post on Instagram/Social Media if any openings become available.

CONSULTATIONS

Consultations in person aren't necessary anymore for most projects, unless we are working around odd spaces between other tattoos or if there’s a scar.  If there is a case that needs this service, we will contact you to set up a time for you to come in and talk to Bobby.

DEPOSITS

All bookings require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to secure them.

***WE ONLY TAKE DEPOSITS VIA WEBSITE- www.bobbyearly.com***

FULL / HALF DAY : $200 deposit*

TRAVEL / CONVENTION: $500 deposit*

We always hold the deposit until your last session, and will come off the total price of that day's session. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, they are transferable if you need to reschedule, *please remember this deposit when booking an appointment.

RATES

Bobby's full day rate/6 hours is $1,000 and half day/3 hours is $500. There are certain exceptions when tattoos CAN’T BE FINISHED. If the tattoo is not completed in the full day (i.e. larger work) and would not require another full 6 hours to finish Bobby will charge $200/hour to complete the project.

Also, some pieces (smaller projects like hand / feet tattoos) may also not take the full day and in this circumstance he may cut some of the price from the day rate and give you a flat rate...

***These are a case by case scenario***

In general be prepared to pay the full day rate. If for some reason you are personally unable to sit for the full 6 hours, you will still be obligated to pay for the full day rate.

Bobby's rates are increased to $1200 (Flat Day Rate) at conventions due to travel costs. If you are booking with him at a convention please specify which city in your form.

CREATIVE FREEDOM

We ask that clients give Bobby creative freedom with their ideas, (I.E. snake on my left calf with chrysanthemum) So he can create amazing pieces without limitations and restrictions.  We understand there are some things that you may really love to include or leave out, and these are always taken into consideration when choosing pieces he takes on so if you would like a tattoo from him please include these specifics in your initial inquiry (I.E. I do not prefer XXX and I would like XXX) - that’s totally ok! This allows us to expand more and become more creative with each piece so they remain unique to their wearer.

Please send Bobby inspiration photos and a clear straight on picture of the area to be tattooed.

Bobby will place the design elements how they fit best with the contour of the body, this is something he won’t compromise on as the layout of the tattoo is vital to the end result looking like the work you expect. He puts his all into each design which is time consuming to create so please know that everything about your finished design is intentional.

DESIGNS 

It is not unusual for you to not see a design until the day of your appointment. Please be very clear with your design requests to prevent him wasting precious time with re-designs. If you are not comfortable with this method, another artist may be better suited to your needs.

LARGE SCALE WORK

We like to start and finish these larger pieces within one year as his style and way of working steadily evolves.

COVER UPS / ADD ONS 

Not all coverups are possible. Bobby will need to see photos of the proposed piece to cover, so communicate this desire in the initial correspondence.

He will typically only tattoo cover ups with previous laser lightening. This gives him more scope on creating a beautiful piece you actually want rather than being limited.  He does not finish off any other tattooers work. 

CANCELLATIONS

There is a 72 hour cancellation period.  Any cancellations within that 72 hours prior to the appointment, the deposit will be withheld and you will need to pay ANOTHER deposit to re-book another appointment.

Please note that 72 hours is the bare minimum amount of time to cancel. Advanced notice is much appreciated as it is much easier for us to schedule someone else in that time slot.

SUPPORT CREW

Please do not bring more than one person for company as this is a private studio and we enjoy being able to focus on your permanent art. It is important for Bobby and clients to be comfortable with enough space to work.

We will do our best to respond to everyone, but please be patient with us. It may take us awhile to sort through requests.  Please note that he can't take on every project, so he will be choosing what he feels is best suited for his art style.
