Darl Gnau

Owner

Darl has been making custom tattoos professionally for over 25 years. He finds the best results when he is allowed to take the reigns with creative freedom and design intuitively based on the information, subject matter and feeling you give him.

His most notable styles are: trash polka, avant guarde, bio organic, dark art and pop realism. However, he is constantly exploring and has taken interest in countless styles throughout his lengthly career.

The human body is significantly important to what he does and he makes the highest effort to achieve natural flow and compliment the area an art piece lives in. He is definitely better equipped to serve larger scale tattoos and always accounts for the overall plan rather than the immediate session.

Booking Guidelines for Tattoo Appointments:

Thank you for considering my tattoo services. Below are the details and guidelines to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both of us:

  1. Deposit and Pricing:

    • A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to secure your booking. This deposit will be applied to the overall cost of your tattoo.

    • Minimum charge for a tattoo session is $800, covering up to 2.5 hours of work.

    • For longer sessions, we offer a session (day) rate of $1500 for 5-7 hours, which is ideal for most tattoo designs.

    • Full-day sessions (8+ hours) are priced at $1900.

  2. Cancellations, No Shows, and Rescheduling:

    • Please be aware that the deposit is non-refundable.

    • In the case of cancellations, no shows, or rescheduling within the same week of your appointment, the deposit will be forfeited. To rebook, a new deposit will be required.

    • I kindly request your understanding and consideration in this matter.

  3. Serious Inquiries Only:

    • I take my work seriously and am dedicated to providing you with a high-quality tattoo experience. Please reach out only if you are genuinely interested.

  4. Consultation and Creative Process:

    • Our consultation will allow us to discuss the tattoo's style, direction, and subject matter.

    • While I value your input, I generally prefer to have creative control beyond the consultation. This approach allows me to deliver a unique and artistic tattoo that we both can appreciate.

  5. Payment Methods:

    • Deposits can be made via Venmo, and I also accept payments through cash, Zelle, or CashApp.

    • Once the initial deposit of $500 is received, we can proceed to schedule a consultation.

    • For payments, please use the "friends and family" option.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I'm excited to collaborate with you to create a one-of-a-kind tattoo that reflects your personality and my artistic expression. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to move forward with the booking process.

Warm Regards, Darl
