Learn More About the Creative Process

First Meeting is a Design Session.

I do designing in person and I do charge for that time. Designing is the most important step of the creative process.


This also gives you some space to contemplate and make changes. The clients I work with value this creative deep dive. 

Many Clients Schedule Two Days.

Because the first meeting is a design session, many clients book two day appointments starting from the first appointment.


Two day sessions allows greater efficiency and cuts down on travel time if you plan to book a place to stay for the night. 


Video Tattoo Booking Series

Embarking on a tattoo journey is a significant decision, and being well-informed is crucial. To assist you in this process, I developed a detailed tattoo booking video series. This series aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of what to expect when choosing to get a tattoo with me, Joel Wright. It's not just about the final artwork but having a good experience the entire process, from conception to aftercare.


Within the series, you'll find essential resources such as the client consent form and thorough tattoo care instructions. Additionally, for those traveling to get their tattoo, the series offers recommendations on the best places to stay, dine, and even spots you might want to avoid. While viewing all the videos is optional, many clients have found them beneficial for planning their trips and managing expectations.


Furthermore, to streamline the booking process, the video course provides direct access to Joel Wright's scheduling calendar. This feature ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing you to secure your appointment without any complications. The goal is to equip you with all the necessary information, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable tattoo journey.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE...

Working and talking with Joel is not about “getting a tattoo”, but instead about acquiring a personally symbolic work of art that would stays with your for life. Not all tattoos have to mean something, but it’s impossible to come out of the experience of working with Joel unchanged.

CREATIVE JOURNEY...

Just had an intriguing and stimulating session with Joel Wright that resulted in a spectacular tattoo. The man is a magician but he is also a painstaking partner on the creative journey to a unique piece of art. I didn’t know where we would end up but it was all kinds of fun finding out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I need to reschedule?

Just let me know at least 3 weeks before the appointment and I can manually reschedule it for you without you having to pay a new deposit. 

Can. you design before the appointment?

I do all designing in person. The design time is billed the same as tattoo time during your session. 

How long will the tattoo take to complete?

There is no way to tell. After your design is complete I can make a strategy for completion. But the work takes as long as it takes by default, the focus is on quality to rapid finishing. 

Do you work on incomplete work started by other artists?

Yes I do. Some of my best clients have existing work. I am not too good for that. Let's finish it!

Will you cover up old tattoos?

Yes I do cover up tattoos. In some cases I recommend removal but usually we can find a way. 

How far are you booked up?

It changes and varies but I usually have openings within a month or two. I don't like booking up for years at a time because if a change needs to be made then it creates a cascading nightmare of rescheduling. By having an open booking policy (rather than opening and closing books) it creates space. Opening and closing the books creates manic booking like black Friday sales. Anyway, you can get in with me in a reasonable time frame.


Just keep in mind that1 client that books 1 weekend a month for a while, takes a quarter of my weekend schedule. So it doesn't take many clients to book up!
