Leah Earl Tattoo

How to pay I accept cash, Venmo or credit cards. Your nonrefundable deposit will be used toward the final cost of your tattoo. Tips Tips are not required. I charge what a tattoo costs and I will not be mad or disappointed if you do not give me a tip. I do however greatly appreciate gratuity. Please only tip if you WANT to!

Free touch ups? I offer free touch ups within 1 year of your original appointment. Please send me a picture of your tattoo to my email leahearltattoo@gmail.com so I can determine how much time we will need for your touch up. If you need a touch up after 1 year of your original appointment there will be a small fee. For smaller touch ups the fee is generally $50. When is a touch up not free? If there are visible signs of poor or negligent aftercare, picking at the healing design, or if the design placement is in an area that is prone to fading (finger, side of your foot, or palm) then I do not offer free touch ups. I will gladly do the touch up but the cost for a touch up will be a case by case basis.

1. Moisturize. Make sure to moisturize the area for a few days prior to your appointment. Please don’t moisturize the area on the day of your appointment. 2. Exfoliate. Please lightly exfoliate the area to make sure your skin is nice and soft. 3. Stay Hydrated. Make sure you are well hydrated. Please do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol the night or two before your appointment. 4. Sleep well. Make sure you get a good nights rest before your appointment. 5. Eat. Make sure to have a filling and nutritious meal before your appointment. 6. SHOWER! Please please please shower, brush teeth, wear deodorant, and wear clean clothes. Refrain from wearing heavy perfume or cologne as this can give me a headache after a while. If your tattoo will be anywhere on your lower leg then please make sure you have a fresh pair of socks to wear or wear shoes that do not make your feet stink. 7. Wear Appropriate Clothes. Wearing comfortable clothing will make your experience much more enjoyable. Please wear layers so that you can adjust your clothes to make sure you are the most comfortable. Some examples of clothing for placement: Back Piece: wear comfy pants and bring a flannel to wear backwards (this will help keep you warm while also providing you with more privacy. Bring pasties if you would like extra nipple coverage. Arm: tank top, or short sleeve shirt Leg: shorts, loose fitting pants, or a dress Stomach or chest: bring pasties or wear a loose fitting shirt that we can tape up or tuck to expose the placement area *If you are unsure about what to wear please just ask me!

Appointment Time! 1. Guests. I prefer no guests. If you feel that you need/want to bring someone along please keep it to only 1 guest. 2. Arriving. Make sure to review the parking info before hand. It will take 10-15 minutes to find parking, pay for your spot, and then walk to my studio. Please plan accordingly. Please do not be late. 3. Release Form. I will need you to fill out a release form when you get to the studio. Please remember your ID! 4. Comfort. Please bring items that make you feel comfortable! Snacks, water, headphones, blanket, or even pictures of your pets! I will have chill music playing in the background. 5. We go at your pace. If you need a break please do not hesitate to ask! I like to take a break about every hour for myself but we can take breaks as often as you need. 6. Talking. Please feel free to talk as little or as much as you would like. You will not bother me by talking but I also really do not mind if you want to just put on head phones and zone out :) If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to me and I can clarify anything you may need to know!

Foxglove Tattoo Studio does not have a designated parking lot. I recommend allowing yourself extra time to ensure a smooth arrival. In the Lowertown area, it typically takes about 5-10 minutes to find and pay for parking. #1 Saint Paul Farmers' Market - Lot #193 There are signs with QR codes to pay for parking in this lot. #2 Street Parking : ZONE 651 I would recommend downloading the St Paul Parking app! Most spots are 2 hour limit but you can easily add more time through the app! #3 Union Depot Parking Daily Parking: Union Depot Parking Lot C, 390 E Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55101 There is an incredible amount of parking available in the Lowertown area. Please be aware that the CHS field and the St Paul Farmers market are very close by and can become very busy during event days/nights during the summer and holiday months.

Please note that I do not send out designs prior to appointments. This policy helps to protect both my time and the integrity of my designs. For most custom projects, I offer in-person consultations, where we’ll work together to create a rough draft of your idea. I understand that not seeing the design before your appointment can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but rest assured that we will have ample time during your session to make any adjustments as needed.

No call no shows will cause you to forfeit your deposit. Late? If you are going to be late let me know as soon as you can. If you are late you risk losing your deposit. I may not have time to tattoo you. Deposits are not refundable under any circumstance! I reserve the right to deny service to anyone for not respecting my time and boundaries.

I kindly ask that you arrive at Foxglove Tattoo no more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time, the studio is small and does not have a waiting area for you to hang out in if you are early. Please note that the restrooms in the Northwestern Building are locked. When you arrive, at your scheduled appointment time, I’ll be happy to provide you with the restroom key and show you where it is. I often have back-to-back appointments, and arriving too early can shorten the brief breaks I rely on to rest, recharge, and prepare for the next session. It’s important to me to be at my best for every client, including you. I understand that the anticipation for your appointment may cause you to arrive early, but if that happens, please wait in your car or grab a coffee at Lost Fox until your scheduled time.

Tattoo Anxiety: I’ve had the pleasure of tattooing many first-time clients, and I understand how nerve-wracking the experience can be.

Remember that you’re strong and absolutely capable of getting this tattoo! For more information on how to prepare for your appointment, please refer to my FAQ. This will help ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Coping Mechanisms for Pain Management: If you are anxious about the pain level for your next tattoo make sure you bring some comforts from home.
