chicago booking

This form is for Chicago booking, now that I live here. I work out of Tattoo Elementary in Logan Square.

I have a wide range of work I enjoy making, so I’ve tried to distill it into the sections below. Let me know what you’re excited about!

I have an instagram highlight of predesigned flash pieces that tend to be more figurative, like birds, or flowers- while I try to keep this up to date as to what’s available, I will sometimes leave flash I’ve already done up to show examples of the kind of imagery I’m excited to do. I am always willing to draw a variation on a piece I’ve already done for you too, or draw something to fit a specific area of the body. Let me know what you’re excited about and it can probably happen.

Beyond flash, I am always taking custom work so if you think something could be a good fit for my style, definitely reach out!

figurative

This can take a lot of forms. Abstracts may be charcoals, sticks, landscape inspired, buglike, watery, crunchy, based off organic matter, etc.

Also always down for custom abstract work based on something specific (like mycelium, a specific stick you really like, a cave system that’s special to you, whatever!!).

I don’t post abstract flash anymore- instead, I have a large book of abstract flash and motifs for you to look through at our appointment. Basically anything abstract you’ve seen from me should be represented within that. From there, you can either pick one as is if you like something smaller, or we can build a larger composition together using a mix of stenciling motifs and freehand.

If you want an abstract piece, just include a few links to other pieces you’ve liked when you book, just so I can get an idea of the general vibe you’re interested in. It’s helpful to know if you like lighter or darker things, fluid or spiky, dense or sparse.

abstract

I love doing coverups so much. Just send me a photo of the piece you’re looking to cover at jude@godstooth.com after you’ve sent in your booking form, and we can make it happen.

I can easily do coverups of hand sized pieces in one session, maybe a little larger (I can tell you when I see it).

For these smaller coverups, I am happy to collaboratively design coverup work with you in the studio, or design it beforehand and send you my mockup.

For larger work- I am able to cover even half or full sleeve work depending on what’s there, especially if you are looking to go fairly abstract. While this is intense work and requires some level of being open and flexible, designing these pieces is an extremely collaborative process and my hope is to offer it as a form of body reclamation. I am willing to be much more flexible on budgets for this kind of coverup work because of this. All larger coverups such as this require commitment to at least 2 sessions.

coverups

I work quickly and I have large ranges listed as a sliding scale to account for many budgets, as well as the large variations in the kinds of work I do. I am happy to discuss pricing more over email for your specific piece.

Please still reach out even if your budget is lower- these are guidelines and I’m probably still down. I like working this way and I appreciate everyone that makes it possible ♡
