Design Choices for Event Tattoos
To streamline the experience, hosts will work with our artist(s) before the event to create a curated design sheet that aligns with the event’s theme. This design sheet provides guests with a variety of stylish, meaningful designs to choose from without needing complex customization on the day.
Design Guidelines:
Curated Selection: Hosts can request one free alteration to any of the curated designs during the planning phase. Any additional redesign requests for individual designs will incur a $50 fee per design revision to respect the artist’s time and ensure quality.
Guest-Provided Designs: If hosts or guests have specific designs in mind, they must be submitted in advance for pre-approval. These designs may require adjustments to ensure they translate well as tattoos.
This approach helps maintain high-quality standards, respects the artist’s workflow, and provides guests with great design options, making the process efficient and manageable.
Design Options and Capacity Estimates
Each package includes curated flash designs based on the event theme, offered in two sizes:
XS Designs: 1-2 inches with simple linework and minimal shading, taking around 30-45 minutes per tattoo.
Small Designs: 2-3 inches with more detailed linework, shading, or color, requiring about 45-60 minutes per tattoo.
Estimated Tattoo Capacity (per artist):
XS Designs Only:
~3-5 tattoos in a 3-hour session
~5-8 tattoos in a 5-hour session
~7-10 tattoos in a 7-hour session
Small or Mixed Designs:
~2-3 tattoos in a 3-hour session
~4-6 tattoos in a 5-hour session
~5-7 tattoos in a 7-hour session
Note: These estimates are based on average completion times and may vary depending on individual design complexity and placement.
Booking & Licensing Recommendations
For on-site events, we recommend booking at least 8-10 weeks in advance to secure an artist and allow time for any necessary permits. If a temporary establishment license is required, Alchemy Tattoo Collective can assist with the paperwork, as licensing can take up to 6 weeks.
The estimated number of tattoos completed during each event is based on average timing and is provided as a general guideline. The actual number of tattoos may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of individual designs, client requests, and tattoo placement, which can affect the time required for each tattoo. As a result, we cannot guarantee a specific number of tattoos will be completed within the scheduled event hours.
With options for any type of event, Alchemy Tattoo Collective provides an exceptional tattoo experience for guests. Contact us today to discuss your needs and reserve an artist for a unique and unforgettable experience!
