JEN FRANCES — Upper Moon Tattoo // Portland, OR

I open my booking every 3 months. I will have a link on this page that will lead you to my booking request form when books are open. Appointments are not on a first come first served basis, so please be sure to take your time and complete the form correctly and thoroughly to streamline the booking process.

If you are traveling and would like to book further out, you may have to wait for the correlating booking round of your estimated travel dates. Please be sure to let us know if you are traveling and we will can book you toward the end of the 3 month booking period.

While we are working as quickly as possible, please note that it may take 2-3 weeks to receive a response to your booking request.

Most projects do not need an in person consultation. I ask that you complete the form very thoroughly, and be detailed! I do not need to necessarily know the reason of WHY you are getting the tattoo, but I do need to know any specifics you are hoping to include, so be thorough. You will be asked to include photo reference when we discuss booking.

If you are only interested in an estimate, please complete the booking form so I can gather all of the necessary info I need to give you a proper estimate.You can write "estimate" in the budget section. I do not give estimates or do consults through Instagram/Facebook messages.

I cannot guarantee an appointment for cover ups or reworks, but feel free to submit them! I generally will take 1 cover-up or rework per month and priority usually goes to current clientele that have spent time building a rapport. It is also dependent upon the subject matter, and if you have had any sessions of laser removal. I generally suggest at least one session of laser removal if you are wanting a cover up.

Unfortunately, No. I have a specific style of tattooing that does not necessarily translate to all types of subject matter. It is only fair to my clients that I am choosing projects that I am excited about! Also, I have a limited amount of availability, so I generally don’t even get to select all of the projects I am interested in. Booking every 3 months allows clients the chance to resubmit for the next round if my books fill up quickly.

Of course! I am comfortable tattooing melanated skin, and I am happy to discuss options for working with color if you have questions! I welcome all bodies, body types, and sizes!

Unfortunately, no. Majority of the time I am completing designs the night before, or the morning of your appointment. Your design will be available for viewing at the time of your appointment. If we need to make small alterations, that can be done at the time of your appointment. Major changes or complete redraws may result in a reschedule and possibly a new deposit. A new deposit will be required if you are chaining the subject matter or it differs significantly from what you put on your original booking request. When your booking request is approved and booked, we are mutually agreeing to all of the information on your booking form. While I do my best to be flexible with clients, I cannot guarantee that I will do your tattoo if you completely change the subject matter (and in some cases placement) and your will forfeit your deposit.

I am booking flat rate half days (3-4 hours $900), and full days (6 hours $1300). I do require a $100 non-refundable deposit, $200 for full days. If we are working on a larger scale project, you may have a larger deposit. All deposits will come off of the last appt, if appts are multiple sessions. CASH is PREFERRED for the remainder of the cost on the day of your appointment. As a reminder, deposits are always Non-refundable.

*Pre-drawn designs may be at hourly rate or flat rate depending on the size/details.

If you are traveling to me, or know you are capable of sitting for longer than 6 hours, we will discuss the hourly rate that will be added if we decide to go over the booked amount of time. Please let me know prior to booking if this pertains to you.

Rates do vary for travel (conventions).

Keep in mind that you are choosing your appointment date when scheduling, so choose wisely! Consider traveling accommodations, healing time (2 weeks), or any other obligations you may have prior to selecting your date.

Cancellation policy: Deposits are always non-refundable. Please give a one week notice (by 9:30am one week prior) if you need to reschedule your tattoo appointment for any reason, otherwise you will lose your deposit. If you know you will need to reschedule, let me know sooner rather than later, since it can be hard to fill spots with only a few days notice. If you are having financial issues, If you are feeling ill, or if you have been around someone who is sick, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling options. If you arrive sick, you will be asked to leave and you will lose your deposit.

Your deposit will be forfeit if you reschedule more than twice, or more than six months pass without an appointment. If you reschedule more than twice, and would still like to book an appointment, you will be required to pay in full at the time of booking your next appointment.

Please note that I am a human and while it’s unlikely, there is always a possibility that I may have to reschedule your appointment. In this case, deposits are still non-refundable, but I will do my best to accommodate a new date as soon as possible. A reschedule made by me will NOT count against you.

Please call the shop to let me know! Being 15 minutes late to your appointment (or more) will result in loss of deposit, and possible reschedule depending on when you arrive. In this case of a reschedule, you would need to leave a new deposit.

I do not tattoo faces, hands, fingers, or necks for first time clients who are not heavily and visibly tattooed.
