All appointments are scheduled through our Picktime calendar — pick a service and time to get the ball rolling with the artist of your choice. Choosing a date doesn't guarantee an appointment; it sets up your consultation first. Once you're booked, you'll sign our quick digital waiver before the needle ever touches skin.

Walk-Ins Welcome

Welcomed daily. We can't guarantee a same-day appointment without prior approval from an available artist on shift.

$100 Deposit

A non-refundable $100 cash-only deposit is required for all appointments. It goes toward the final cost of your tattoo.

Your Design, Protected

All original designs are the intellectual property of Texas Body Art. We won't text or email artwork to keep your piece exclusive.

Standards of Operation

How the process works

  1. 1

    Initial Consultation

    Sit down with your artist to discuss the idea, design preferences, placement, size and any specific details. Your artist takes notes and rough sketches to capture the essence of what you want.

  2. 2

    Deposit Collection

    Come prepared with a non-refundable $100 cash designing deposit. It covers the artist's design time and acts as your commitment. For multi-session work, the deposit applies to your very last session.

  3. 3

    Design Development

    Your artist creates a detailed design proposal or sketch — enough to convey their interpretation of your idea without revealing the entire piece ahead of time.

  4. 4

    Approval

    Review the design in person. Small adjustments can often be made the same day as the tattoo; more complex changes may require another appointment.

  5. 5

    Booking the Session

    Once the deposit is collected and the design approved, we schedule your tattoo appointment on Picktime, noting any final adjustments agreed during approval.

  6. 6

    Sign Your Waiver

    Before your session, complete our quick digital waiver — the Texas health-department consent on file for every client. Booking on Picktime routes you to it automatically, or you can sign ahead from the Sign a Waiver link in the menu.

  7. Tattoo Time

    The night before, get plenty of liquids and rest. On the day, eat a good meal so your blood cells are fueled with energy — it keeps your endorphins up and makes the session more comfortable for you and the artist.

Let the studio know 24 hours before your scheduled appointment or you risk losing your deposit. A no-call / no-show forfeits the deposit the day of the appointment, and a new deposit is required to proceed. Need to move your date? Just contact the studio in advance.
In some instances or emergencies, you'll be contacted if we need to transfer your deposit to another artist, or if there's a problem during the initial consultation phase. We aim to keep clear, open communication throughout.
