Hello everyone! It is official, I am now tattooing in Hillsboro Oregon at Breaking Ink from Monday to Friday 11:00am-7:00pm
This months theme is going to be "Medieval"! So my cosplays will match the theme, because I am in the transition of working at a new place, I am unsure of the exact characters I will be cosplaying as, however I will be bringing Astarion from BG3 no matter what this month, for in character live acting sessions! But please feel free to request another character of your choosing!!!
If you have any questions, please click here to book an ask away!
My station is all set up and ready to go! I am finally able to tattoo in Oregon! To get the correct pricing for your tattoo/project, I require a consultation first to discuss your tattoo design. You can either choose an in-character consultation ($60) or out of character consultation (free). Both consultations do have a deposit that is paid the day of that appointment, and good news.... The deposit goes towards your tattoo overall cost!! I am still figuring out the cost of my deposits, however I am starting at $60 for now.
My new process for tattooing:Now that I am tattooing in Oregon instead of Arizona, there are a LOT of changes I'm having to work with. So my process for tattooing has changed!!
1st step: Consultation
- Every tattoo appointment MUST have a consultation! This is the time to request a tattoo either In or Out of character/cosplay for your tattoo appointment. For custom designs there is a required $60 deposit due at that time.
2nd step: Prep and Prepare
- Your design will be drawn and prepared until your appointment. Your design will not be sent digitally due to privacy reasons, however if you would like to see the progress, you can visit Breaking Ink Monday-Friday before your tattoo appointment!!
3rd step: Paper Work
- Before your appointment, you will be sent a Consent Form, you MUST fill it out BEFORE your appointment (it takes a while to update into the system, do NOT wait until your appointment or it'll add to your appointment time)
4th step: Tattoo Appointment
- The day where the magic happens! Depending on what type of tattoo session you requested (in cosplay or out of cosplay) is how your appointment will proceed!
5th step: Healing Appointment
- This is not a common thing included with most tattooers, some artists just shove people out the door never to see them again. NOT ME!! For the healing appointment, you will be able to come back into the shop as a 2 week follow up. We will take extra photos of the healed tattoo, and if you need any touch ups on it at all, we can touch it up then. It is a 30 to 60 minute appointment COMPLETELY FREE! My touch ups for my own work are free for LIFE!!
More info about the 3 appointments:
The Consultation Process: (1st step mentioned above)
In-Character Consultation ($60 + $60 Deposit= $120 due at time): You will receive a 1 hour in-character acting consultation session which includes a complimentary beverage and snack, warm environment, content making AND designing your tattoo with me! That's right, we get to draw up your concept together! You will have access to a touch screen TV that is mirrored to my tablet. Whatever I draw, you will be able to see and edit while we work together. The design will not be finished during this session, this is just to start your design and get the right details and concept to your exact liking. The best part about this session is that it is completely in character. You get to interact with a character of your choosing while drawing together, eating snacks and making content!
Out of Character/Normal Consultation ($60 Deposit due at time): This is a quick 15 minute consultation session that includes a complimentary beverage and snack while the two of us draw your custom design together! Alike the In-Character Consultation, you will have access to a touch screen TV that is mirrored to my tablet. Whatever I draw, you will be able to see and edit while we work together. The design will not be finished during this session, this is just to start your design and get the right details and concept to your exact liking. Deposits are still due for flash designs, it ensures your appointment date and time is set and confirmed!
The Tattoo Appointment: (4th step mentioned above)
In-Character Appointment ($150 + Tattoo cost= Both due at time): Ready for an exclusive experience?! Think of DisneyLand for the tattoo industry!!
