Where are you located?

Tiger Tiger Tattoo, 492 Somerset St W in Ottawa.

How far out are you booking into?

Typically booking 1-3 months out. Occasionally, I have last minute spots that open up within the same week/ the following week. Summer months I can most likely get you booked in the same week as my books aren’t as full compared to the rest of the year. Books are open.

What days do you work?

I tattoo on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. My first appointments of the day or larger projects are usually booked in at 11am/12:30pm. Palm sized and smaller pieces can be started as late as 4:30pm. If your availability is outside of my typical work days, don’t hesitate to see if I can accomadate.

How do I book a tattoo appointment?

Please visit the BOOK page here , or simply email me your ideas to celynebegintattoos@gmail.com. Please include:

• subject matter along with any specifics

• desired size

• placement on body

• if you want the tattoo in color or black and grey.

• also attach any reference photos to help convey your ideas.

Is a deposit required to book in?

Yes, a $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book in. This deposit can be sent by e-transfer after your spot has been secured in the schedule. See deposit policy here.

How much do you charge?

Custom work: $160 per hour + tax

Flash: Priced per piece, good price. Email for inquiry.

Is a consultation required before booking?

Upon receiving your tattoo ideas via the form or email, if I see an in-person consultation is necessary, we can set one up. This is often the case if your ideas are more complex/ if you are trying to fit a piece between existing work or if we are working on a large scaled project.

Do you do walk-ins?

I am appointment only.

Can you have a drawing ready for me ahead of time?

For custom work, I am only able to provide you with the design in person the day of your appointment. Please let me know everything you wish to see in the design upon booking your appointment. I understand if this can be nerve racking… if you wish to see a design beforehand, getting flash is your best option.

Can I get tattooed if I am under the age of 18?

No, I only tattoo people who are 18 years or older.

Do you have flash or up-for-grabs designs available?

Yes! Please check out my flash on my Instagram and email me with the design you are interested in getting. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18026741827857407/

How can I pay?

Cash or e-transfer.

How do I care for my tattoo as it is healing (aftercare) ?

You will be instructed on how to take care of your tattoo at your appointment. You will also be given an aftercare sheet in person or you can find the instructions here.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Make sure to be well hydrated and have a meal before your appointment.

No need to shave the area beforehand.

Wear comfortable clothing. Please note it is possible that ink may get on your clothing, especially if it is near the placement of the tattoo.

Wear something which will allow me access to the body part that is getting tattooed. (For example, bring some shorts to change into if you will be getting tattooed on your thigh. )

Feel free to bring water/juice and snacks for longer sessions

Bonus points: moisturize your skin daily for 1-2 weeks before the appointment + gently exfoliate your skin with salt 3-4 days before your appointment.

Where to park?

Paid street parking is available on Somerset St. Free street parking is available a few streets over in some of the residential areas. Parking on Somerset St is free on weekends but check signs to be sure.

Can I bring a friend?

Space in the shop is limited. It’s best to arrive alone, but if you need to bring a friend I can make room.
