San Diego Tattoo Artist- Terry Ribera- New York- Los Angeles
How to make an appointment.
I work by appointment only. If you would like to make an appointment It is important to contact me by phone 619 307 9433, this is my voice mail or by email terry@terryribera.com. I have a 6 month wait list and it unrealistic for me to take on every project that comes my way. Please understand that I only have time to focus on the most artistically challenging projects that fit my criteria. It is my goal to be make each project as enjoyable as it can be for me and the client, which means that I need to be selective about my work load.

My Deposit rate is $150, it must be made in cash and it is non refundable.

My hourly rate for California is $170 and in NY it is $200.

Once you've booked a consultation and we've arranged a time to discuss your ideas in person (If you are traveling from an unusually far distance other arrangements can be made) My consultations take about an hour as it is my preference to draw in with you and to gather whatever reference you might have. Once we've done that we can review the sketch and get a clearer idea of what the goals of your project are. If everything seems to make sense and we feel comfortable that is when I will collect the deposit. DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE. After that you will be set up with a series of dates depending on the estimated time frame of your project. The final artwork will presented to you at a later date near to your appointment. Usually I send them by email. Minor changes can be made, but if for some reason you've completely changed your mind and the direction of the tattoo you will lose your deposit. I am notinterested in drawing for nothing, the deposit will be considered a kill fee if you are indecisive. So during our consultation be clear and do not leave me a deposit unless you are 100% confident that I can perform the job.

If you fail to make your appointments you will lose your deposit, all cancellations require at least a 24 hour notice.

If you habitually flake on your appointments and are what I deem to be a consistent no show I will terminate your project. As it is not my interest to continue in what I feel is an unhealthy working relationship. My time is valuable and I devote many hours outside of the tattooing process to each client with scheduling, designing etc. I can not take on projects with people that are unable to respect that.

If you are serious about being tattooed I look forward to hearing from you. I take my work very seriously and I promise that it will show in my dedication toward each project.
