FAQs
Where are you located?
Patty works by appointment only in a private studio in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Please use street parking or the lot at Norm’s is $10 for all day parking. Building access info will be sent before your appointment.
Are your books closed?
New tattoo inquiries are always welcome.
How much is a tattoo?
Please contact for rates and estimates. Keep in mind that estimates are a rough guide and the final price will be based upon the actual time spent tattooing and complexity
Can I see my drawing before my appointment?
Generally, drawings are ready on the day of the appointment. After you see your drawing in person, changes can be discussed and made. Please do not hesitate to ask for changes after viewing the drawing.
Drawing consultations are done on a very limited case by case basis for an additional fee. Please get in touch for details.
How do I prepare to get tattooed?
If you want changes to your discussed tattoo design, please get in contact no less than a week before your tattoo appointment date.
Use a loofah/gentle exfoliant in the shower a week before your appointment if you don’t already do that.
Please eat a meal prior to your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Wear dark clothing as the tattoo process uses products that can leave stains.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring socks (the studio is shoe free for cleanliness), warm layers, cash for payment, state issued ID and water bottle/snacks (if desired).
Do you tattoo prenumbed skin?
I don’t work on prenumbed skin. However, I do use Bactine, which contains lidocaine, during the shading portion of the tattoo session.
