WE'VE MOVED TO A NEW PRIVATE STUDIO IN ANDOVER, CT 06232
Valkyrie is a custom tattoo shop specializing in fine line, organic, floral, mandala and geometric designs although Joelle can pretty much do it all.
As this is custom tattooing every tattoo will be different and it’s very hard to give exact prices so I usually provide an estimate which is a price range as to where I expect your tattoo to come out at. This is a quote and I do the best I can to be accurate but it’s important to remember that it is just a quote. If you make changes to the design after this price quote is given or change the location or anything really this can alter the quote so please inquire about the price again after any changes are made if it’s important for it to be as accurate as possible. However that is some of the reason for the price range. That and everyone’s skin is different as well as how they deal with pain or how well they can sit still and be tattooed. All of these things effect how long it takes which is why I charge by the hr. My hourly rate is $160, Large or extensive drawings are an additional one time fee of $50-$200, please get reach out for an estimate. Small drawings are inclusive and covered by the hourly rate.
Additional charges may incur is if you choose to use Saniderm as the bandage you would like to use to heal the tattoo. I highly recommend it and think it’s the best way to heal a tattoo. However as it's a medical bandage I charge a small fee to cover my cost. A free absorbent bandage is included with every tattoo so this is a fee you only incur if you choose to upgrade to the Saniderm. You also are more then welcome to purchase your own roll (you can find it on amazon) and I will apply it for you free of charge and what you have leftover can be used next time or to do a bandage change after a day or two or both! I also make and sell a variety of after care lotions that are available for purchase in the shop. Any questions feel free to inquire!
I take deposits via Venmo or Cashapp. It’s important to remember all deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE so do not leave one unless you are completely sure about your design and wanting to get tattooed. A deposit is left for a specific design and is non transferable to another person or design as its meant to cover the time I spend designing/drawing prior to your appt and holding the time in my schedule that someone else would otherwise book. At the time of the appointment the remaining balance is due (price minus the deposit). Cash is always best so if possible please bring cash for the remaining balance. If you must pay with a credit card I can accept Cashapp or Venmo. If I need to run your actual card I can do that using ‘Square’ but you are responsible for the fee to run the card so it’s an additional 3%.
Yes, absolutely no exceptions will be made. No deposit, no appointment. Deposits are tiered as to how much time is being booked. It’s a minimum deposit of $50, that is for anything that doesn’t require much drawing and is small. Most appointments will require a $100 deposit. Full day appointment require a $200 deposit. . Remember all deposits are non-refundable.
We require a minimum 48 hour notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If you need to reschedule, we will hold your deposit for 90 days, if you do not reschedule within 90 days, your deposit will be forfeited. Two reschedules are allowed before losing the deposit. All deposits are non-refundable, if you cancel you lose your deposit, so do not schedule an appointment if you are unsure.
Valkyrie Ink Tattoo has just recently moved to a new studio located near Andover Lake in Andover, CT 06232 and is a private by appointment only studio. Sorry no walk-ins.
Valkyrie Ink Tattoo uses almost exclusively Eternal Ink for the brightest and most beautiful colors. Eternal Ink is an industry leader for quality inks that are vibrant, amazing and as a bonus they are all vegan! For my blacks and gray shades I use Dynamic Inks or Kiro Sumi, industry leaders for quality blacks and grey tonal shades and all vegan as well! All the inks I use are made in the USA which is important because we have stricter, more stringent standards that they have to be manufactured under. I use only the best so that your tattoo comes out the best it can and ages beautifully!
No, I do not tattoo minors. You must be 18 with legal ID in order to be tattooed by me. The only exception I make to this rule is if you are the child of a regular client. If this client is on board and both are determined to have this tattoo done I will do it as long as the design is not a pop culture reference or something I deem as childish or ridiculous. If you are interested in this message me to discuss.
Normally bringing a friend is a non issue however while dealing with covid regulations please refrain from bringing any one with you. No children are allowed at any point. If they can’t sit still on their own they are to young to be in a tattoo shop and are not allowed. During Covid times they are not allowed at all.
