If you are looking to get a tattoo from Diego, please read the following information carefully- if that works for you, email me!

  • Describe your tattoo idea in full detail, and the location on your body where you would like the tattoo.

  • Email the images that you would like to use for reference. These images are important because they will allow me to properly visualize and design the tattoo.

  • Please also send a photo of the location on your body where you would like the tattoo done.

  • Note that we will not use or accept images of other tattoos as a reference image as I will not copy other artists designs.

  • It is important to make sure that the project is a good match for me before we can discuss available appointment dates and accept deposits.

  • I will design a first draft with your direct input – we can brainstorm together and see if anything needs to be improved or added.

  • Final drafts will be seen the day of the appointment, if minor changes need to be made, they can be made the same day. If you want the design to go in a different direction, we will take that day to consult further and improve any miscommunications.

Sessions and Pricing:

  • My standard rate is $1000 per session and my average session is usually around 8 hours.

  • Smaller tattoos will be charged by the piece. Starting at the shop minimum of $100.

  • If you’d like to skip the line and get tattooed in the next week - I can book you in for my nearest day off, the cost of the session in this case will be $3000

  • Large projects such as full sleeves and back pieces may take 8 to 10 sessions, for reference, inner forearm usually takes 1 to 2 sessions, depending on variables such as skin type, the size and detail of the tattoo, and other factors not listed here. As this is an artistic project, there is no way to guarantee the exact amount of sessions a tattoo will take upfront – every project and person is unique.

  • One thing to keep in mind when you start a large project at a specific price per session - that rate is locked in for a year from the first session. After that, it will need to be adjusted to the current rate as I usually raise pricing once per year. Please plan your sessions accordingly.

  • As all tattoo projects are different they take different amount of time and effort to get done. Please DM me all the information and pictures and I will get back to you with the estimate cost

  • The studios address is 1523 W Katella Ave, Ste 106 Anaheim, California. Mi Familia Tattoo Studio.

  • The tattoo session will usually start at 1pm.

  • Clients only. I cannot permit any guests or visitors to be present during appointments. Any visitor other than the tattoo client will be asked to wait in the studios waiting room area.

  • Please do not drink alcohol for several days prior to your session – this may cause excessive bleeding during the session and cause an issue with the healing process.

  • Make sure to be well-rested before coming into the appointment and eat a meal beforehand to prevent low blood sugar issues.

  • To keep the working space sanitary and hair-free, we ask you to shave the area that is going to be tattooed in the comfort of your home before coming to the studio, while taking care not to cut yourself.

  • Make sure to wear comfortable clothing that helps with the tattooing process – if you’re getting a tattoo on your arm, a tank top or sleeveless t-shirt will be helpful – if you’re getting a tattoo on your leg - it’s better to wear shorts.

  • Please bring your own lunch and snacks. Tattoos are much less painful and I will be able to work more proficiently when your body is nourished and fed. We have a refrigerator and a microwave free to use at any time.

  • If you are late, you must inform me via DM or call the studio at (714) 808-0156. If you are more than 30 minutes late without any notification, the session will be canceled without any refund.

  • If you do not show up for the appointment - you lose your deposit and we will not be able to work together.

  • I only accept cash as a payment method, however Zelle is accepted as a form of payment for your deposit.

  • A deposit is necessary to secure your appointment – this is $300. Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit can be paid in cash or through Zelle. For smaller tattoos a deposit of $100 will be required.

  • The deposit serves to reserve all your booking dates and will be applied to the final tattoo session if the project requires multiple sessions. If it is a single session, it will be applied to that instead.

  • If you need to change the date of your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, you must let me know at least 5 days prior to the session so I can rearrange our schedules. A new deposit will be required to continue working together if you cancel or reschedule with less than 5 days’ notice. You can reschedule your appointment only once without losing your deposit.
