Book a tattoo with Julie Mae
Custom work by appointment at Ink Cathedral on North Central Street. Walk-ins when there’s an opening.
Appointments and walk-ins
Appointments preferred, walk-ins welcome when there’s an opening. DM first to check. Custom pieces are always by appointment so Julie has time to draw them. Flash and small pieces can sometimes be done the same day.
How booking works
- Send your idea. DM @juliedoingtatts on Instagram. Include reference photos, the placement and a rough size in inches.
- Get a quote. Julie replies with an estimate and open dates. Prices depend on size, detail and placement.
- Hold your spot. A deposit locks in the appointment and comes off the final price. Julie will tell you the amount when she confirms your design and date.
- Get tattooed. Bring a valid photo ID, eat beforehand and wear clothes that give easy access to the placement.
What to send with your request
- 2–5 reference images, plus what you like about each one
- Where on your body, and how big (a photo of the spot helps)
- Black and grey or a touch of color
- Your timeline, if you’re planning around a trip or event

Questions
Do you tattoo during pregnancy?
No. Julie doesn’t tattoo anyone who is pregnant.
Do you take walk-ins?
Appointments preferred, walk-ins welcome when there’s an opening. DM first to check.
Is the deposit refundable?
Ask Julie when you book. She’ll go over her deposit and rescheduling policy before you pay anything.
Can I get a consultation first?
Yes. Most questions can be handled over Instagram DM. For large pieces like sleeves or back pieces, Julie may suggest meeting at the studio first.
How old do I have to be?
18 with a valid photo ID. Tennessee law does not allow tattooing anyone under 18, except a 16- or 17-year-old covering an existing tattoo with a parent present and written consent (Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-38-211).
