Want a tattoo? Great! I ask that you please read this over, as it contains the answers to many commonly asked questions. If I haven’t answered your question here, feel free to include it in your inquiry.
Booking:
Book open for custom tattoos!
To submit a tattoo request,send an email to alexgregorytattoo(at)gmail(dot)com, and include the following: detailed description of what you’re interested in getting (include size, placement on the body, color or black and gray, any reference material you might have).
Additional info that is helpful are photos of the area to be tattooed (especially if we’ll be working around other pieces), whether or not you are working with a budget, if you’d prefer an in- person consultation. Be sure to read this tattoo FAQ page in its entirety as well. Requests not following these instructions will be disregarded.
How do I get tattooed by you?
Email me and expect a response within a week. I’ll get back to you with any follow up questions I may have to make sure we’re on the same page with design and concept, and schedule an in person consultation if preferred over email.
After the consultation, I require a ($150) deposit to schedule your appointment. This ensures space in my books and is non- refundable. Deposit comes off the final session of your tattoo.
Flash pieces are always available to book. Check out my ‘flash’ page for available designs and send over an email if you’re interested in claiming one.
What are your rates?
I charge $200/ hour and have a $150 minimum.
How much will my tattoo cost?
The cost of the tattoo relies on a number of factors: size, placement, detail, etc. I charge by the hour and price varies by piece. If you have a specific budget you’re woking with please include that in your tattoo inquiry.
Can you show me the artwork before the appointment?
During our email consultation I will usually do a rough concept sketch to make sure we’re on the same page. Final drawings will be available the day of the appointment.
What if I want to make changes to the tattoo artwork?
I’m happy to make changes when we sit down together and review the final artwork- but major revisions (placement, concept) may not be possible with the time scheduled. Let me know ASAP if you have additions or changes that weren’t discussed during the consultation.
Are there tattoos you won’t do?
Please check out and review my portfolio carefully- I love taking on projects that are illustrative, neo- tradtional, colorful, line/ dotwork, geometric. I don’t do hyper realism, watercolor, or pieces with no outlines. If I don’t think my style is best suited to your idea, I will let you know.
Do you do cover ups/ re-works?
Not usually
Where are you located?
Locust tattoo, 1827s 300w SLC, Utah
When do you take appointments?
Monday-Weds and Friday, 10am-6pm
Do you take walk-ins?
Nope- we’re a private shop, but I’ll post on instagram if I have last minute or same- day openings.
Do you have designs ready to go?
Yes! I have original designs that I’ve drawn up and are ready to be tattooed, on the “flash” page of this website. Most designs I’ll do once each in color and grayscale before they’re retired. Check em’ out and email me if you’re interested in claiming one (no need to wait for booking day).
How do I email you?

When will you be back in Minnesota?
Not often. Working right now to wrap up all the projects I’ve got in progress from Minneapolis.
