Walk ins on a friday & sat could bring you 2 -3x what an apt might. Some artist schedule their apt's after 5 week days or early on the weekends. This gives one the opportunity to grab that walk in clientele, who could become your next major work.
    We at one time did apt only, which for some lost business since their apt never showed, while the rest of us had a 3 -4 hr wait for commercial work. It finally went to walk ins only (outside regulars) this way everyone had a chance to work, vs. waiting for an apt that never showed.
    One of the artist would book her self solid when ever she could, that lasted 1 month as waiting 15 min past the set time was costing money while people were there Now.

    I'd schedule my clients with a time that worked for both of us. They needed to come in on the weekend, no problem. They were also willing to work with me time wise.



    You find an artist you feel comfortable with, like their portfolio and agree on price final design. I assure you, there's an apt set up for you. However do not walk in to a waiting room of people, get upset because the artist doesn't have time to draw up your shoulder cap while you wait.

    I'm not a fan of Cammi's work. That's why you MUST IMO look at portfolio's before getting a tattoo. Tattoo's are for many very personal. A portfolio I look at and like, someone else may not.

    I also have a piece from Nick McQueen at Summit Tattoo in Castle Rock that I'm very happy with. https://www.facebook.com/McQueenTattoos

    Nice. Fess up does it really hurt ? I'm not a fan of needles, or pain.

    It really wasn't bad at all getting it done, it took about two and a half hours. I thought it was going to hurt more than it did. Today it is pretty sore though...

    That's tattoo road rash, good for the soul, better for the skin.

    I've had custom work done at all of these places at would highly recommend them. Think Tank is a little less personal but the artists are all great.

    You gotta hit the ribs, Achilles, or back of knee to bring the pain. To be honest, I freaking hate that 3 hour mark when you keep looking at the clock, but I just keep going back.

    Get some sun on it, that will help.

    I don't remember you having any tattoos. They must all be hidden.
