ABOUT SHANNON ELLIOTT

I charge by the piece, but you can use $250/hr as a general guideline. Difficult placements will incur a higher charge. For backpieces and sleeves, I might charge a drawing fee as well.

My minimum charge is $500 and my deposit is $250, will be applied towards the cost of the service.

I am primarily based in Los Angeles, where I split my time between my friends at Le Papillon in the Arts District and Jelly in Koreatown. I also take regular extended trips back to my hometown in Vancouver to tattoo.

I also guest spot in various cities around North America and Europe. All upcoming trips are announced primarily via Instagram, but I’m working on a newsletter!

My favourite things to tattoo include botanical (I prefer classic tattoo flowers such as peonies, roses, chrysanthemums, etc.), pieces inspired by Japanese and Chinese art, and American Traditional. 

I am open to designing custom pieces, and I also have plenty of pre-drawn flash to choose from. Flash can only be viewed once a deposit is sent. 

I rarely take on cover-up work, generally only if the tattoo is very small, faded, or has several sessions of laser removal.

I don’t generally share drawings ahead of time for regular work, so please be specific in your email about what you’d like to get. I’m very happy to make any changes during our appointment.

For large scale work such as back pieces and sleeves, I will send a rough mock-up ahead of time.

Yes, touch ups are always free within the first year except on hands, feet and fingers. After a year has passed, I will charge a small fee.

My booking app allows you to rebook yourself up to 48hrs before our scheduled appointment. If it is after the 48hr mark, you must email me directly, and I will require another deposit upon rescheduling. If you no show, I will keep the deposit and I will not tattoo you in the future.

I accept Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and cold hard CASH!!!
