Tattoo Booking Form

Maria Mukhina

Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in my tattoos.
My name is Maria, I’m a tattoo artist originally from Russia, now based in San Diego and working at InkMindset Studios.
I specialize in black and grey realism, blending it with elements of neo-oriental and neo-traditional styles.
All of my designs are custom and created exclusively for each client. I mostly work on large projects like sleeves, leg pieces, and back pieces, but I’m also happy to take on smaller tattoos.
I love detail and mixing different influences in one design. Some of my favorite subjects are portraits, demon masks, samurais, skulls, snakes, botanicals, and Japanese-inspired elements. I’m always open to creative and bold ideas.

Placement & Body Areas

I don’t usually take stomach or rib tattoos.
I also don’t work on neck or hands.
I prefer working on arms, legs, and back.
Chest tattoos are possible for select projects that really fit my style.

Cover-ups & Color Tattoos

I’m very selective with cover-ups. I only take very small and light tattoos, and only if they are much smaller than the new design and can be naturally included. I also don’t do full color tattoos. I work mainly in black & grey, with optional local color accents if it fits the design.

Pricing & Session Details.

Hourly rate: $200 per hour. Your rate includes the development of your custom design and all hands-on work during the session—from finalizing placement and size to stencil application, skin prep, and tattooing. Breaks are not charged.

For guest spots, I offer full day sessions only (1 PM – 7 PM): $1500.

What’s included

• Unique design created just for you.

• Design preparation and refinement outside the session.

• Design adjustments and placement during the session.

• Professional materials and sterile setup.

• After the session, you’ll receive an aftercare kit and detailed care instructions.

Booking Process

Let’s start working on your future tattoo.
Tell me about your idea in as much detail as possible and attach any reference images you may have, the more info you share, the better I can understand your vision. If we’re a good match, we’ll choose a date together and you’ll send a deposit to secure the session.
After that, we’ll go over the additional details and I’ll create a custom design especially for you.

📌 Fill out this form, and I’ll get in touch to discuss your idea, the estimated number of sessions, and available dates. I’d love to hear more about your project.

If you have Instagram, please send me a quick DM saying you’ve submitted the form, so I can find your request and discuss your design and dates.

Consultation & Communication

All consultations are held online, and I keep project communication in writing so details stay clear and easy to reference. English is not my first language, so written communication helps me discuss creative ideas as clearly as possible. I work on designs in appointment order. If I don’t reply immediately, it usually means I’m finishing another client’s project, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Booking & Deposit Policy

To book your appointment, you’ll need to confirm a session date and submit a non-refundable $200 deposit. The deposit secures your appointment and will be applied toward the cost of your final session. The design process is included in the total tattoo cost.

If you cancel your appointment or decide not to move forward with the project, the deposit will not be refunded. If you need to reschedule, please let me know at least 10 days in advance. Otherwise, a new deposit will be required.

I begin creating your design a few days before the session. Up to two minor adjustments are included. Significant changes or a major redesign can be discussed and may require an additional fee.

❗ All of my designs are unique and protected by copyright. If the tattoo is not completed, the design may not be used or finished by another artist without my written permission.
