Ask Guy
How do I book a tattoo appointment?
The best way to start the process is through the contact form on this site. Include reference images, placement ideas, and your general vision. I’ll review your submission and respond with availability and next steps. Please allow 1-2 weeks for a detailed response.
What is your current wait time?
I am typically booked out 4-6 months although, if you are flexible, I can put you on a standby list in case a cancellation leaves me with an unexpected opening.
Do you do cover-ups or reworks?
Yes, cover-ups and reworks are a significant part of my practice. I specialize in transforming existing tattoos into cohesive, flowing pieces. Send clear photos of the existing work along with your ideas for what you’d like to achieve.
Where is your studio located?
I work out of Hyperspace Studios in Creal Springs, Illinois. The closest major airport is in St. Louis, Missouri. I am happy to help you find accommodations for multiple day visits. I do not work on the road or at any other locations.
Can I purchase original paintings or prints?
Original paintings and limited edition prints are available through Gallery 111. You can also inquire about commissioned pieces through the contact form.
