  • I tattoo at La Rosa Tattoo Company, in Fort Collins, Co.

  • My hourly rate is 175$ an hour. 

    My minimum pricing is 100$.

    I can take payment by cash, or card. But cash is preferred.

  • I am willing to give price quotes, but they will be an overestimation of the time I think the tattoo will take. It can be hard to accurately decide how long a certain tattoo will take so I would rather go over than under. 

    I will work around a budget and like to keep that in mind when tattooing. If we need to schedule multiple sessions, or simplify an idea. that is okay!

  • I require a deposit for all tattoo appointments. 

    Deposits are taken out of the total cost of the tattoo at the end of the appointment.

    I take 50$ deposits for tattoos that will take under 3 hours.

    I take 100$ deposits for tattoos that will take over 3 hours.

    Deposits are non refundable, but are transferable for one reschedule if given at least a three days notice. 

  • Add your pricing strategy. Be sure to include important details like value, length of service, and why it’s unique.

  • No, I do not share the design before our appointment. But there will be time to make changes at the appointment time. 

    This is why it is important to fully explain your idea in detail, and to make sure my artistic expressions are inline with your vision for your tattoo.

  • If you are running late please give me a heads up over instagram messages or email. If you are more than 20 minutes late we may need to reschedule and your deposit will be forfeit. 

    Deposits are good for one reschedule if given at least three days notice.
