FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
I tattoo out of La Petite Tattoo; a private and comfortable woman-owned shop by appointment only. We are located at 4506 SE Belmont St, Suite 280
-
I’ve been tattooing since fall of 2021, and was able to quit my day job and go full-time in June 2022. I’ve been with my friends at La Petite ever since!
-
My rate is $200/hr - I’m relatively quick at tattooing, and happy to give a quote prior to booking
A week before your appointment, you’ll receive a reminder email with a rough time estimate. If I can’t give an exact estimate, I always try to over-estimate rather than under.
Tip: properly prepped skin is easier, and thus, faster to tattoo! Hydrating and exfoliating leading up to your appointment is always a good idea
-
Appointments are booked via my Booking Newsletter every two months. I also post occasional up-for-grabs reschedule spots on my Instagram story @ donnajeantattoo
-
Typically, no! I find that I’m able to gather all the information I need through email after you’ve submitted a booking form.
The exception would be for sleeve projects to discuss layout and subject matter, but for one-off work I don’t usually need to see you in-person before your appointment.
-
I take cash or card (both debit and credit) for final payment at the end of your appointment.
I don’t take final payment over payment apps, only for deposits.
If you are paying via card, keep in mind that there is a 3% card fee that will be added to your total - this doesn’t go to me, this is the fee Square takes for card transactions
-
All of the flash currently posted on my website is repeatable. I will tattoo a design until I feel like I’d like to work on more current designs, at which point it will be retired.
Retired flash always has a chance of being brought back or redesigned later.
If you liked a retired design that I’m not offering, I’m usually happy to update the design upon request if I have the time to draw a newer version of it
-
Custom tattoos are exclusively booked through my newsletter each time my books open. Custom spots are limited.
Customs are closed now, but will reopen in Summer 2026!
-
Everything you’ll need to know for your upcoming appointment will be in the reminder email you receive about a week prior to it. This will include date and time, parking and directions to our suite, estimated total price, what to bring, and how to prepare.
-
I’m always happy to do multi-tattoo sessions! 3 small designs, or 2 medium/large designs is my personal limit on what I can do in a day.
If you are interested in booking a same-day appointment with somebody else or multiple other people, please mention this and include the other person(s) name(s) and email address(es) in your submission form, and have them also fill out a booking form.

Currently on maternity leave - touchups can be booked when I return to work in spring 2026
Touch-ups are free (on my own work, if proper aftercare is followed) within one year of completing your tattoo. Touch-ups on tattoos older than a year are welcome, but are charged by my hourly.
Touch-up appointments are quick and typically range from 5-30 minutes.
These can be scheduled at any time, regardless of my booking status, by emailing donnajeantattoo@gmail.com. Please include a photo of your healed tattoo in your email

Whether I will take a cover-up project is purely a case-by-case basis, but I am always willing to take a look and provide an expert opinion on whether or not your cover-up goals require additional prep, like laser removal. For anything regarding scheduling cover-up work, you can subscribe to my newsletter to submit a booking form when I’m taking custom projects
