Usually, I work 5 to 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm. I switch my days off around, so I do also work on weekends.
Let me know if you are flexible, if you work during the week, what your timetables look like and when you would prefer to book.

Right now I'm only booking for 12 August - 11 October 2020 in BERLIN
And 21 October - 4 November 2020 in Stuttgart.

I am specialising in blackwork and linework.
I am giving preference and enjoy most creating human forms and figures.
I'm open to tattoo animals and pets, some plants, objects and abstract forms, but it might be harder to book with me for one of these. I'm open to use another colour or two.

I prefer simplicity and focus on just one main element.
I don't enjoy combining too many elements into one tattoo as I think it becomes too confusing.

I create a design based on your ideas, motivation and personality.

We set up a consultation (preferably in person) to talk about the design, discuss placement on the body, size, style, etc.
Usually the consultation is the day before or the day of the tattoo session.

You pick your favourite out of a set of my pre-made designs (find them at http://jiotattoo.com/flash/).
  * I will be making more in the next couple of weeks, so you can choose later.

We will choose a unique placement and size for you.
I’m open to make slight alterations to fit your body.

** With this option, it is much easier and quicker to get booked with me as there is no design time.

In a few paragraphs, describe the image that you have in mind, please try to be specific.

Should it be a human form, an animal, a plant?
If it's a human figure, what is their body position? What are the doing? Which way are they facing?
How much of their body is showing? (just the face, the bust or full body)

What is the emotion you wish to represent with it?

You can also have a very vague idea and we will find a direction during the consultation.

My preference is to tattoo arms and legs as my designs seem to fit and work best with those areas.
I love spreading lines along these areas and work with the curves of the body. I also enjoy making chest pieces.

It is more challenging to tattoo ribs, belly, hands, back & buttocks as the skin in these areas doesn’t allow for the best results with linework. If you really want one of these areas, please be aware that they may not heal as sharp.

If you’re not sure yet or where you want the tattoo and are open for suggestions, you can write more than one possible placement and we can discuss the best option for your idea.

Please let me know your skin colour and if you have any scars or prominent birth scars in the area you want tattooed.
All of this is important for my consideration of making the right design for you.

I always prefer to go bigger rather than smaller.

It is important to consider the ageing of the tattoo.
The more detail it has, the bigger it has to be because the lines tend to spread and to merge together with time.

This means that if you want a small tattoo, it will have to be simple and minimalistic
If you want a very chaotic tattoo, made of many lines, it will have to be at least 20cm long.

In Berlin my rate is 250€ EUR per hour of tattooing.
With the minimum being 200€ EUR, no matter how small the tattoo.

My rates may vary depending on the studios and cities that I work at.

The total time will depend on factors like size, detail, complexity of the design, body placement.  

See the examples below to have an idea of how much time my tattoos take.

Arm sleeves, leg sleeves, chest pieces, etc. can take 2 to 6 sessions/days to complete.
Most people can handle 4-5 hours of tattooing per day. Some can handle 7-10 hours per day.

With my style, there is no need to wait for healing time to continue to work, so we can book sessions side by side and finish a project within a week or a month.

I'm also happy to give a discounted price for a project that requires several sessions.

Once I approve your project, I will ask you to secure your appointment with a deposit (200€ EUR) by PayPal per booking day (in case you want to book more than one day) which is non-refundable if you cancel, but will be deducted from the final tattoo price.

The booking will not be final until the deposit is payed.
While we are negotiating dates I will hold a date for you for a maximum of a week.

Thank you so much for putting in the time to answer and read through this form!
It's quite a lot but makes my life so much easier!

I will review it and will get back to you if the project is approved or if I have any further questions.

Wishing you all the best and hopefully I'll see you soon!
Love,
Jio
