Frequently Asked Questions

I tattoo out of my private studio in Las Vegas about 15 minutes East of the airport. I am available to tattoo by appointment only. I have no plans to do any traveling at this time.

Please fill out the contact form in the "bookings" tab. I currently only book 2 weeks out. Once you fill out the form, you’ll be added to my contact list where you’ll receive appointment updates via e-mail as they become available. If you’re in town only on specific dates, you’re welcome to e-mail to see if I have any openings 2 weeks prior to your desired date. My e-mail is alexstranglerbookings@gmail.com. Please make sure you include the following: 

•Which day/time are you interested in?

•Are you a returning client?

•Are you a Las Vegas local? If not, where will you be visiting from?

•Full name:

•Phone number:

•Design details

•Size preferred (In inches):

•Placement: Please include photo of the area to be tattooed

•Budget:

I currently work Mon/Wed/Fri with occasional Thursdays. I usually start at 1 and finish up by 7pm

I'm mostly interested in doing one-shot pieces, nothing larger scale. I mostly tattoo from my “designs available” which I include a link to when I send out available dates. These are mostly all one-off designs which means they are tattooed once, with the exception of anything labeled “flash”. Flash are repeatable designs. I do take customs from time to time, but please do take it personally if I don’t take your custom request. I do not deviate from the style of work that you see on my Instagram and website.

Unfortunately, no. I used to book 3-4 months out but due to chronic pain in my hands I end up taking a lot of time off from tattooing. I consider myself to be semi-retired now. I’ve been tattooing 16 years and prefer to have a more laid back schedule so I can enjoy tattooing a bit longer before my body decides it’s time to fully retire. Because of this, availability is limited. I understand this isn't ideal for some, but my health takes priority.

I price by the piece. Most of my pricing is based on the design size/placement. In order to give you a price quote on a design, please make sure you are descriptive as possible with your tattoo request (especially size/placement) and include reference photos if you have something specific in mind. Most of my work falls around $250-$600. My minimum is $250.

Deposits are done via invoice which can be paid with a debit or CC. I am no longer accepting PayPal/Venmo. The deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. Deposits need to be sent within 24 hours when date/time is agreed upon to secure your appointment. Otherwise, you risk losing your spot. 

IMPORTANT! During the months of Oct-Dec reschedules will not be permitted regardless of notice. Please understand these spots are difficult to fill during the holidays. You will be required to submit a new deposit if you are rescheduling during Oct-Dec.

Your deposit will be forfeited if:

•You do not show up to your appointment.


•You cancel your appointment or reschedule without giving at least 5 days notice. 


•You reschedule during Oct-Dec regardless of notice.


•You arrive more than 20 minutes late to you appointment.


•You reschedule a second time, regardless of notice. You may reschedule a second time but will need to submit a new deposit.


•You arrive to your appointment without government-issued identification.


•You change your design from what was previously discussed without providing adequate notice.

•Deposits are valid for 3 months. If not redeemed within 3 months a new deposit is required.

•Deposits are non-transferable.

*Upon paying a deposit you acknowledge that you have communicated your tattoo design idea to me and have reviewed my prior works to decide that I can implement your idea to your satisfaction. For custom work, you understand that creating a tattoo design based on a client's concept is subjective, and that variations may exist between your concept and the finished design. If the finished design is not to your liking, minor changes can be made at my discretion. However, you understand that substantial changes to the design or the request of an entirely new drawing or draft will require a new deposit/ appointment, and the original deposit will be forfeited as payment for drawing time.

Yes, you may bring ONE guest and they must wait in the lobby. If you are getting tattooed with a friend/family member/etc NO additional guests will be permitted. No one under the age of 18 is permitted into the studio. 

I occasionally make exceptions if I feel like it’s something fairly easy to work with. Please send a photo of your tattoo(s) if inquiring about any cover-ups, fix-ups, or re-do’s. I have a few examples on my IG @alexstrangler "Tattoo Makeover" highlight.

I do not tattoo hands, fingers, neck, face. I’m also currently not tattooing ribs/stomach unless it’s a smaller piece.
