Tattoos
I love to tattoo, I have a certain style of tattooing. My personal style looks very girlie, but I also can tattoo other styles. I am known for my bright colors, these colors are achieved by my appling the ink into the skin. If you are dark skin toned or tan I might refuse to even do color. If you do not care for the tattoo as my aftercare says it will effect the colors. I love tattoos that have a story or meaning behind them. I custom draw all the tattoos I do for the body part and flow of the body for that individual person. If If this is not what your looking for I am not the artist for you, I do not do Flash. You can come to me with a idea with Flash as a example., but I will not put something on your body that 400 other people in the world will have. I DO NOT DO CELTIC, TRIBAL, WIZARDS OR DRAGONS. There are artists out there who prefer this, so please research and contact them. I DO NOT DO DRAWINGS SO YOU CAN GET TATTOOED BY SOMEONE ELSE! I do not like to be told what to do or how to tattoo from someone who is not a artist. So if you can't trust me to do my job I am not the right artist for you!
Tattoo Prices and Estimates
I am $150 a hour in the studio, on the road I am $175 a hour on pieces larger than 5" by 7". If it's a piece smaller than 5 "by 7" I use a price chart made up of 1" by 1" squares, the first 1" by 1" square is $50 (studio min.) each additional 1" by 1" square is $10 so as example something that is 4" by 4" is about $200. This can also vary if you are not sitting well and if it's on a lower back or rib area where the area of skin needs to be stretched. As a new client you must be honest and up front with me for I am going to do the same with you....the tattoo experience is a major trust and bonding experience, where I give you a piece of me and my artwork to you for life, therefore I will give you my all.
I can’t give you and estimate with out an idea or a drawing, this is why I like to have a consultation. I can do consultations over emails if your not local, in my area let me know because I prefer to do them in person. Just need basic info like what you want to do, How big (measurements are great), where on your body and any budget you might have.This consultation would involve me and you sitting down and going over your ideas, (reference pictures are always helpful) and me talking to you about how I feel and think of the piece and were we can go with it. We come to agreements on what is to be drawn.

Deposits and Drawings
I DO NOT do specials! The only person who's getting "HOOKED UP" is my husband. I require a $100 deposit toward the appointment, if tattoo is smaller than than a $100 tattoo the deposit is $50, NON-REFUNDABLE!!!!. This secures your time with me, this is your time, no one elses. The deposit of $100 goes toward the tattoo price.
You can pay this online via paypal to kristelluckieleopard@yahoo.com (please include name, number, and city for appointment) or you can mail in a check or money order to the studio make payable to Kristel Oreto (please include name, number and city of appointment) or you can come in and pay cash.
If your tattoo is not completed in the first session the deposit is put toward the following appointment, Deposit is then applied to last appointment. If you cancel the appointment or are a no show or more than 30 minutes late for the appointment you loose the deposit. All Deposits are non-refundable, this is for my time, this is time that another client could be using or I could be spending with my family. I DO NOT allow the client to leave with a drawing unless the tattoo is complete. I DO NOT EMAIL OR TEXT PROOFS OF DRAWINGS! If you would like to pre-view the drawing you have to come into the studio or wait until the day of appointment. Drawings can be changed the day of appointment, it’s not a biggie, and if you don’t like it be honest this is going to be on you forever. I DO NOT draw for other artists nor draw for you to get tattooed by another artist. All drawings are done a few days prior to your appointment because I am drawing for clients that have sooner appointments. I DO NOT TATTOO OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAWINGS, I ONLY DO MY OWN ARTWORK!

Scheleduling
I do travel for Guest Spots and Tattoo Conventions, all travel schedules are posted on my website at all times. I usually book up a week to two weeks in advance. I am flexiable on hours, but mostly stick to my schedule Tues -Sat noon - 7pm, later and earlier appointments can be set up.
Conventions: I do take appointments! I do not do small tattoos at conventions, touch ups, or reworks. I will do cover-ups. I prefer to do new fresh pieces.

INFO YOU MUST KNOW
I CAN NOT tattoo you if you are on ANTI-BOCTICS OR under going CHEMO-THERAPY or if you are SUN BURNT. this will effect the healing of the tattoo and cause damage to the skin. We DO NOT ALLOW MINORS IN THE STUDIO OR TATTOO THEM! NO FOOD OR DRINKS!

Touch-ups
Changing something in the tattoo is not a touch-up! A touch up is where something didn't heal right. Touch-ups are included only if you use my aftercare that I suggest, if you use something else or NOT FOLLOW THE AFTERCARE TO A TEEor take ANTI-BOCTICS or ANYTHING that is not on the aftercare form you are on your own . If your tattoo needs a touch-up you will know with-in the first month, it's usually very small areas that will need a touch up NOT THE WHOLE TATTOO. If the whole tattoo or a large part of the tattoo needs a touch up this means you did not take care of it right and You WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TATTOOED AGAIN! They are included in the price of your tattoo. I do not touch up tattoos after 2 months, nor touch up tattoos do to fading caused by sun or tanning beds. If you are dark complected my vibrate colors might not be as bright on your skin tone.
Aftercare
After one hour remove the seran wrap.
After removing the SERAN WRAP, wash your tattoo with warm water and liquid anti-bacterial soap firmly(make sure all sepage has been removed).Pat dry with a clean towel.
Wash with liquid anti-bacterial soap and wrap with seran wrap before bed.In the morning remove the seran wrap.
After removing the seran wrap, wash your tattoo with warm water and liquid anti-bacterial soap firmly(make sure all sepage has been removed). Pat dry with a clean towel. After 24 hours from receiving tattoo you may start to use H2ocean tattoo foam, only if your tattoo has stopped oozing. Shake can vigorously. Apply a small amount of Ocean Foam in palm of hand. Use your fingertips and gently apply Ocean Foam on your tattoo 3-5 times daily after washing. Do this for 48-72 hours. After tattoo begins to flake off (like a snake skin). You may begin to use non-scented lotion, apply a small amount after washing tattoo. Rub lotion completely into skin.
No swimming, hot tubs, sun or soaking in a bath tub for 2 weeks.
No picking at tattoo.
Apply SPF 50 to tattoo after healed when in the sun or tanning bed.
