How tattoos in Westerly are booked at Irish Rose
Send the idea, the placement and the size in inches through the booking form, with two or three reference photos if you have them. The artist who fits the style replies within two business days with one flat number and open dates. There is no hourly clock and no consult fee. Larger work and cover-ups often start with a free 20-minute consultation, in person or by phone.
Tony books four to six weeks out for most pieces, sooner for small ones. Zak's calendar depends on how much multi-session work is running. Saturdays fill about three weeks ahead in summer, so weekday afternoons are the easiest dates to get.
Which artist to book
If your references are thin, delicate and mostly line, book Tony Asian: single-needle script, botanicals, small animals, micro-realism. If they are bold, heavy-black or soft-shaded, or if you need something covered, book Zak Sadloski. Not sure? Pick "any artist" on the form and the shop will match it. You can also browse the gallery by artist and style.
What every tattoo includes
Single-use needles and cartridges, a fresh setup for every client, a stencil you approve before anything starts, and the printed tattoo aftercare sheet. Touch-ups are free within 90 days if the piece healed light and you followed the sheet; hands, feet and fingers are excluded. The shop is licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Health and inspected every year.
You need to be 18 with a government photo ID. Come fed, hydrated and sober, and plan on about 15 minutes for paperwork and stencil placement before the session.
