TATTOO BOOKING

If you’ve landed on this page hopefully you are thinking of getting a tattoo! 

To save us both some time and effort I've put together a boatload of information about my booking process...

HOW DO I BOOK A TATTOO?

 It's easy, just pop back here when my books next open (TBA soon) and fill out a form!

submit a tattoo request with lu loram martin, top large beautiful bold blackwork feminine flower tattoo specialist, based in toronto, canada, best

✦ Link will be open for one weekend ✦

I currently book just two to three months in advance, so it's never too long a wait to get tattooed by me.

I will be booking up spring 2025 in my next round of booking.

The form will open on... TBA.

I gradually go through all requests throughout the week after they have been submitted. If I’m able to take on your tattoo project I will email you with a booking link.

I often get more requests than I am able to accommodate (please don't be angry at me, I only have one pair of hands) but you can always submit again in the next round of booking.

I specialize in freehand floral tattoos, in blackwork only. So no colour tattoos, sorry.

I do take on select cover-ups and reworks, but it’s always best to email me in advance with a photo of what you’d like improved before submitting a request.

All tattoos must be in my style, and no hands, necks or face tattoos without prior approval (contact me).

 

NEWSLETTER

If you sign up for my newsletter you will get a handy reminder for when my books open!

My newsletter also gives you a first look at any new designs I have available, first notice of any guest spots I’m doing, as well as the opportunity to grab any last minute cancellation spaces.

 

PRICING

I tattoo one client per day and I charge by the piece. 

My minimum charge is $600(+tax), and my max charge in one day is $1200(+tax)

Large projects are completed over multiple sittings.

I cannot guarantee the final price, time, or session amount needed to complete any tattoo. I can only give estimates. Contact me for an estimate.

A non- refundable deposit of $200 is required for all tattoo appointments at the time of booking (transferable up to two times, provided 72 hours notice is given - same client only).

If you are travelling to get tattooed by me I recommend that you take out travel insurance to protect yourself. If any unforeseen emergencies occur and we need to rearrange your appointment I cannot reimburse the cost of flights/hotels etc.

Tattoo FAQ

How do I see your flash and one-off tattoo designs?!

Sign up to my newsletter! I always post them there first

Where the studio is located?

In Corktown! At 90 Sumach Street, Toronto, M5A4R4

Can I get tattooed while fasting?

It's best not to. Getting tattooed takes a toll on the body and if you're fasting you're far more likely to go into shock. I always recommend eating well prior to getting tattooed and also eating snacks throughout a tattoo to keep your blood sugar levels up

Can I get tattooed while pregnant // breast feeding

No, due to the risk of infection and blood borne disease being passed to the baby. It's always better to just wait.

Should I use numbing cream for my tattoo?

I recommend not using numbing cream, Firstly it can change the surface of the skin ti a more 'rubbery' texture which is harder to tattoo. also it stops my freehand designs lasting very well, and finally it doesn't last very long (less time than they say), so by the time we've freehanded your design it's basically pointless. Your body is capable of getting though a tattoo session without numbing cream, trust it

What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?

Absolutely anything that will help make you more comfortable. I have plenty of space at the studio, so feel free to bring anything you like (I recommend cosy socks or slippers - we have concrete floors)
