The Studio Philosophy: "Quality Over Quantity"


Here is a clear, step-by-step breakdown of how the booking process works at The Tattoo Shop:

1. Online Inquiry & Concept Submission

Because Danny operates as a custom artist, everything starts with your idea. You begin by visiting TheTattooShop402.com to submit your tattoo request.

What to include:

  • A detailed description of your idea or concept.

  • Desired body placement (e.g., forearm, thigh, hip).

  • Approximate target size.

  • Any reference photos or style inspirations you have.

2. Review & Initial Quote

Once your request is submitted, Danny reviews the design details. He provides an initial price quote based on the size, detail level, and body placement of the requested piece.

3. Outreach & Consultation

After reviewing your submission, Danny or Elisha will reach out to you directly. They will schedule a time for an in-person consultation at the shop to discuss:

  • Sizing, placement, and visual flow tailored to your body’s natural contours.

  • Artistic feasibility and design recommendations.

  • Finalizing the details and overall scope of the project.

  • Bring any reference photos or notes from your ideas to helps get your point accross.

4. Deposit & Scheduling

Once the design details, scope, and pricing are agreed upon:

  • You will pay a deposit to secure your spot and the artist will find time to start your artwork.

  • Your official tattoo session date and time will be locked into the schedule.


    *Deposits help manage the artist’s schedule and ensure clients are serious about their bookings. They also protect both parties by preventing last-minute cancellations. For example, if your tattoo session is booked for a Saturday afternoon, paying the deposit guarantees that time slot is reserved just for you.


Here’s what happens next:


  • You pay the deposit as agreed during the consultation

  • Your tattoo session is scheduled and confirmed

  • You show up the day of your tattoo appointment to see your final design

  • You get a piece of Danny Walkers artwork made specifically for you!



Preparing for Your Tattoo Session


After booking, it’s important to prepare properly for your tattoo day. Here are some tips:


  • Get a good night’s sleep before your appointment

  • Stay hydrated and eat a healthy meal beforehand

  • You can bring snacks and drinks to the appointment

  • Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications 24 hours before

  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area

  • Shaving will be done at the appointment but if you wont nick yourself triming the area can help


Following these steps helps ensure your session goes smoothly and comfortably.



What to Expect During Your Tattoo Session


On the day of your appointment, Danny will:


  • Review the final design with you

  • Prepare the stencil and placement on your skin

  • Explain the process and answer any last questions

  • Begin the tattooing with care and attention to detail


Sessions vary in length depending on the size and complexity of your tattoo. Small tattoos might take under an hour, while larger pieces could require multiple sessions.


Remember, the artist’s goal is to create a tattoo you will love for life, so communication and patience are key!
