Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you work?
I work at Glasshouse Tattoo in Orlando, Florida. The address is 1712 Lee Rd Orlando FL 32810
What kind of tattoos do you do?
I love doing bold, colorful, neotraditional tattoos, and am proficient in kawaii, anime, and traditional style tattoos as well. I love them all- the funkier and more vibrant, the better! ~ 🌈
I recommend looking through my portfolio on Instagram (@sammyvanhiggins) to get an idea of my tattoo style.
How do I book a tattoo with you?
My books are currently: open!! (Yay!)
please fill out a booking form with your inquiry, or send me an email including the following : size, placement, reference photos (no AI please), budget, preferred availability, and possibly a photo of the area you are wanting to get tattooed, that way I can be sure to draw your design to fit (:
from there, I can give you an idea of my availability and a better estimate on pricing. Please be ready to leave a deposit as well to claim your appointment slot!
my email address is sammyvanhiggins@gmail.com
If you message me on Instagram I will do my best to get back to you, but DMs tend to get buried or glitchy, so email is a guaranteed way to get a response! (:
What is your pricing for tattoos?
My hourly rate is $180 per hour. The only exception is if we have discussed a different hourly rate or flat rate for your appt via email. I do typically flat rate or do a discounted hourly rate for predrawn pieces!
When can I see my tattoo design?
You can see your design in person on the day of your appointment! I don't send out designs beforehand, but changes can easily be made on the day of! I draw on an iPad digitally, so changes are typically pretty quick.
Do you tattoo darker skin tones?
Yes, of course!! I’m very comfortable tattooing darker skin tones and making color choices that will work best for any skin tone. I can offer free color tests before your booked appointment for any melanated clients that may want to see a few colors heal on their skin before getting a larger piece. Please email me if you have any questions about this!
Do you tattoo minors?
no, I only tattoo ages 18 and up!
Are there any tattoos you won't do?
Never any hate symbols or designs rooted in racism, bigotry, etc. I won't tattoo certain areas if I am not comfortable (for example, faces, necks, or hands if you are not already heavily tattooed). I do not do black and grey, watercolor, script, realism tattoos, or anything too far out of my current style of work. I want to make sure you get the best tattoo possible, so if I think I can't give 100% to the style you are wanting, I can always provide recommendations for a better suited artist!
Where can I park for my appointment?
There is parking in front of the studio, right off of Lee Rd. If the parking off Lee Rd is full, please use street parking on Eggleston Ave or Courtland St, just be courteous of our neighbors!(:
Can I bring a friend to my appointment?
You may bring one guest with you, but we do have limited room in our shop, especially if many people are tattooing on the day of. Respectfully, guests can be asked to leave if they cause a disruption to myself or my fellow coworkers! (I don’t have to worry about most of you on this, it just must be said unfortunately!)
