Booking This Saturday!!!

Time flies! I can't believe its been 2 months already since our last booking.
As many of you already know, this Saturday, August 20th will be our next booking day for Jeremy Zettler. He will be taking appointments for September and October 2011. This is our second time around with this new style of booking appointments and it seems to be well received!
We decided to book on a Saturday to give the most amount of people the opportunity to make it to the shop in person this time around. So here is the rundown!

Who: Tall Ship Tattoo!
What: Booking for September & October!
Where: Tall Ship Tattoo - 2 King Street South, 2nd Floor!
When: This Saturday, August 20th - 11am!
How: Must have a minimum $75.00 deposit down with us, whether from previous on going sessions or brought with you this Saturday!
A waiver must be filled out and signed by everyone as well as a parental form / signature for anyone under 18.

One more thing we ask of you guys is to please have a clear idea, with reference (if possible) of the tattoo you would like to get. If you are undecided or the tattoo is quite elaborate, we will setup a consultation with Jeremy as well as the tattoo appointment.

thanks again for all your support,
and all of us look forward to seeing you Saturday!

ANOTHER booking update

2011-06-30T17:29:00.000-04:00

I feel like all our blog posts lately are about booking appointments, but you guys have been keeping us busy!
As some of you guys know the month of July booked up in 1 day, which was amazing to see!
Now that July is starting I took a look in the book today to see where we stood for August... and it turns out August is almost full too!
There are 3 full days left at the end of the month and that is basically it! Craziness.
So for anyone out there that couldn't make it to the shop this past week or so to book with us and are still wanting an appointment in the next 2 months.. GET HERE QUICK. These last few appointments won't be open for long!
Information about booking appointments for September and October will be available towards the end of July, early August.
Thanks everyone that has booked with us for the summer and those who get these last few appointments!
We plan on getting a lot more photos of what's going on at the shop in the next 2 months and maybe some videos too.
Stay close everyone!

Oh Yea! RIP Ryan Dunn! :(

SUMMER BOOKING STARTS THIS MONDAY!

2011-06-18T18:11:00.000-04:00

Alright Everyone, Monday is Right Around the Corner!
Starting Monday morning (June 20^th) we will be taking appointments for the full months of July and August. We apologize for any inconvenience during our period of “non-booking,” but this will give people a chance at the exact time and day they want, rather than only what’s available...
There are going to be a lot of people coming in to drop deposits and book their time. Although we don’t normally take appointments over the phone, we are going to try things a little differently for Monday (we know it ain’t always easy to make time to drop in on a specific day)
If you cannot make it in the shop to put a deposit down, you are more than welcome to call the shop and we can take your deposit over the phone by credit.
(if booking in the shop, we take credit, debit and obviously cash!)

*someone will be here to take your call, or take your appt’s in person between 11-8pm*
If calling to book, we will need:
- your contact info
- date you want booked in
- credit card info

at the end of the day we will put through your deposits (keeping a receipt with your waiver that you’ll sign when you come into the shop) and will be taking down the time of everyone’s call to make sure it’s all fair and in sequence. If there are any issues with the processing we will give you a call right away.

HOWEVER, we encourage you to try and make it to the shop in person to fill out a waiver and leave a deposit, as it will be easier for our bookkeeping as well as recording your tattoo idea(s).
Anyone unable to book on Monday is more than welcome to come in day after Monday to book some time!
We know a lot of you have been waiting a while to book appointments with Jeremy and we are excited to have a whole new batch of clients and tattoo ideas coming through the door! and of course all you returning clients too!
Just remember folks, I am but a man... I will do my best to get all of your appointments booked in your preferred spots. But once again, this will be a first come, first serve basis.
Thanks in advance to all of you that book with us over the summer months!
Can't wait to see all of you guys on Monday, June 20th!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday the 13th!

2011-05-13T13:12:00.002-04:00

Well folks, that's it! May and June are completely booked! Thank you to everyone who has come in to get work done or have appointments coming up in the next 2 months! We look forward to seeing you and all your tattoo ideas.

We are excited to try this new way of booking and we are confident it will work the best for not only us, but also for all our clients who are eager to get in for some more work.

We will be opening up booking for July and August in mid-late June. The exact date has not yet been decided, but stay close to Our Life In A Tall Ship, the facebook and follow our Twitter.

Little Update Regarding Appointments!

2011-05-04T20:41:00.002-04:00

Hey Guys!
We just wanted to post a little information about how we will be taking appointments in the future!
Things have been crazy busy for us! We have to thank all of our loyal clients for keeping us so busy throughout the winter months!

With summer around the corner, our wait times are getting a little excessive and that's no good for anyone!
So to give Jer a fresh slate and to give all of you a fair chance at booking times that suit your summer schedule, we're going to be trying a little something different starting July 1st...

Jeremy is booked solid for May and has about 3 days open at the end of June...
SO.. what this means for you guys:
If anyone is interested in getting some work done by Jeremy in June, come in to book ASAP. June 28th - 30th are still available! but will book up quickly! Once those days in June are filled, booking will be closed.
JULY BOOKING:
We are going to open up booking for July early in June. Date: TBA.
We will annouce the date when booking for July will open on the blog: http://tallshiptattoo.blogspot.com/
and the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tall-Ship-Tattoo/132040863521366
It will be a first come first serve basis with deposits required!

We are really excited to see what awesome tattoo ideas you guys have for this summer!
Think big!
Thanks again to everyone who has booked with us and spread the word!!
