We’re super excited to bring you Literally Inked - our Wild Out West pop-up bookish tattoo studio! This exciting experience brings a whole new level of spicy fun for Perth readers!

Due to popular demand, we'll have not two  but three incredible local tattoo artists with us on the signing day. Sanni Saar, Lauren Fenlon, and Thalia all work out of Bittersweet Tattoo in Subiaco, and are thrilled to be joining us for this event.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email us so we can assist.

• You will not be able to select your artist.
• If you miss out on a booking, please consider speaking to our artists about booking with them outside of the event.
• Bookings are on a first come, first served basis. Gold ticket holders will have first dibs on booking as part of their tier perks.
• The cost of a tattoo will be $130. This cost is payable at the time of booking, and is non-refundable.

Bookings process

1. Gold ticket holders will receive access to the first round of bookings. Any tickets booked during this time will be checked for gold ticket status. If you book a tattoo and do not have a gold ticket, you will have your booking immediately refunded.
2. 24 hours after bookings open, available appointments will then also be opened to silver ticket holders. Any tickets booked during this time will be checked for gold or silver ticket status. If you book a tattoo and do not have a gold or silver ticket, you will have your booking immediately refunded.
3. 48 hours after bookings open, available appointments will then also be opened to bronze ticket holders. Bookings from and ticket holders are accepted after this time.
   
   The artists have advised that they will be taking a limited number of names for a walk-in waitlist on the day. You can leave your name and number with them on the day, but placing your name on the walk-in list won't guarantee a booking and places will be very limited.

Appointments

• We recommend you eat something before your appointment and bring a snack, as your body may experience a sugar dip. Don’t drink alcohol, or take Aspirin or other blood thinners the day of the signing. Please do not use any kind of numbing cream.
• Appointments will last about 30 minutes. Please arrive 20 mins before your appointment to help things run smoothly. There will be a seated waiting area.
• It’s your responsibility to ensure you’re on time. If you’re a no-show for your appointment, you will risk missing out. There will be no refunds.
• Your artist will advise you about aftercare at the end of your appointment.

Artwork

• All of our artwork has been inspired by your ideas and comments in our Facebook group. We’re confident that we’ll have an awesome selection of bookish artwork for you to choose from!
• Tattoos will be smaller than 5cm x 5cm to keep appointments to around 30 mins.
• Tattoos will be placed on legs and arms only (no hands or feet). This is to allow us to keep to time.
• Tattoos will be drawn in advance. You’ll select your tattoo from the artwork available. We’ll do our best to release artwork ahead of the day, but due to artist availability that may not be possible.
• Tattoos will be repeatable. Other people at the event may end up choosing the same tattoo as you. Perfect if you want to get matching tattoos with friends, but something to be mindful of if you are after a one-off design.
• To give as many people as possible the opportunity, we can’t accommodate custom tattoo designs. You’re welcome to grab the details of our artists and book in with them for custom work outside of the event.

Refunds

• We are unable to offer refunds unless the whole event is cancelled by us. Please carefully consider this prior to making a booking.
