Tattoo Consultation & Booking

To start a tattoo consultation with Alex Roze at Rocky Mountain Tattoo in Kelowna, BC, send your name, reply email, and a rough description of the idea. Style, placement, size, budget, dates, and WhatsApp are optional. Sending the enquiry starts project evaluation; it does not confirm an appointment.

Coming from elsewhere in the Okanagan?

Alex Roze accepts tattoo enquiries from clients across the Okanagan, including Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, and Penticton, BC. Review his tattoo portfolio for neo-traditional, cyberpunk anime, black and grey, traditional, and micro realism work. His regular Canadian appointment location is Rocky Mountain Tattoo in Kelowna; these communities are service areas, not additional studios. Hammersmith Tattoo separately publishes occasional London guest spots, with dates confirmed externally. Read the West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, or Penticton guide.

  3. Alex replies by email with a date, an estimate, and any questions.
  4. If the date and estimate work, follow the studio's deposit and contract instructions to secure the appointment.
  5. The day before, you send your references by WhatsApp.

Tattoo consultation · direct answer

Prepare an enquiry Alex can evaluate

A useful tattoo consultation request names the subject or story, where it may sit on the body, its approximate dimensions or coverage, the visual direction, and what must stay or must be avoided. You do not need all of that to begin: Alex's form requires only your name, email, and idea. The other details are optional evidence that can make the first reply and project-specific estimate more useful.

Page, consultation guidance, and sources reviewed 14 August 2026.

Enough to start

Give Alex a name, an email he can reply to, and a rough description. That description can be a subject, person, memory, atmosphere, or story. Alex's published process explicitly says you do not need a finished idea, style label, or reference image before starting. If this is your first tattoo, use the first-tattoo guide to connect this enquiry to artist fit, appointment day, and aftercare.

Useful if known

Add the body side and surface, approximate height and width or coverage, colour or black-and-grey direction, must-keep details, things to avoid, budget, and date constraints. If the style name is unclear, link to the closest work in Alex's finished portfolio instead of guessing.

Describe the direction, not a copied tattoo

Reference images are evidence of taste, not an order to reproduce another artist's finished tattoo. Say what each image is doing for you: the colour relationship, line weight, face, pose, texture, composition, or mood. Identify the one or two details that carry the idea and anything you do not want. For a portrait, the preferred source image and identity-critical features matter; for an animal, species, pose, markings, and whether likeness matters are more useful than a generic label. The portrait and animal guides make those distinctions concrete.

Give placement and size as coordinates

“Arm” or “medium” leaves several design decisions unresolved. If you know, name left or right, inner or outer surface, and whether the work should wrap, stop at a joint, connect to an existing tattoo, or leave room for a future sleeve. Give the longest height and width or describe the intended coverage. A straight photograph and a wider photograph showing nearby anatomy and tattoos can help Alex evaluate the space. The size and session guide explains why dimensions do not convert mechanically into hours; the forearm guide shows the same planning model for one placement.

Know what the first reply can resolve

Alex replies by email with a date, an estimate, any questions, and the next deposit step. The published hourly and full-day figures below are rate context, not a quote for the project you describe. No response-time or current-availability promise is published. Sending the form also does not reserve a date: Rocky Mountain Tattoo's current policy says an appointment is secured only after the required deposit is received and the contract is signed. If you are still months out, Park the Idea uses the same minimum fields without asking you to pretend you are ready to choose a date.

Tattoo consultation FAQ

What do I need to start a tattoo consultation with Alex Roze?

A name, reply email, and rough description of the tattoo idea are enough to start. Style, placement, size, budget, dates, and WhatsApp are optional, although useful context can make Alex's first reply more specific.

Do I need a finished tattoo design or reference image?

No. Send the subject, story, mood, or must-keep details in your own words. References can explain visual direction, but Alex's published process does not require a finished design, style label, or reference before you begin.

What placement and size details are useful for a tattoo enquiry?

If known, include the body side and surface, approximate height and width or coverage, a straight placement photo, nearby tattoos, and any future sleeve or expansion plan. Small, medium, and large are less useful than measurable dimensions.

Does sending the booking form confirm my tattoo appointment?

No. The form starts an enquiry. Alex replies with a date, project-specific estimate, questions, and the next deposit step. Rocky Mountain Tattoo says an appointment is secured only after the required deposit is received and the contract is signed.

What if I am interested but not ready to choose a date?

Use Park the Idea with the same three required fields. It records that you are months out without asking you to claim a date or readiness you do not have. No availability or response-time promise is made.
