How booking works
From idea to healed.
Four steps. The request and the deposit both go through Venue, so nothing gets lost in a DM.
-
01
Request
Send the idea through Venue: what you want, where, roughly how big, and any references. A photo of the placement helps more than you'd think.
-
02
Design
Once the request is approved, the piece is drawn for your placement and the deposit holds your date. Stencil goes on the day, and we adjust until it sits right.
-
03
The session
Eat first. Bring headphones. Take breaks when you need them. Larger pieces run over more than one sitting, and that's planned from the start.
-
04
Healing
You leave with aftercare instructions. Keep it clean, out of the sun and out of the water, and send a healed photo once it's settled.
Before you ask
The usual questions.
How do I book a tattoo with Roberto Ojeda?
Through Venue, at venue.ink/@wacotattooer. The Book button opens a short request — your name, phone, email and the idea — and deposits and scheduling are handled there too, so there's nothing to chase in a DM. If you'd rather message first, I'm @wacotattooer on Instagram.
What styles do you tattoo?
Black and grey realism (portraits of people and pets, religious pieces, mythology), fine line (botanical work, script and lettering) and custom pieces drawn for your placement, at VVV Tattoo in Kenneth City, near St. Petersburg.
How much does a tattoo cost?
There's no fixed price list. Every piece is quoted on its own once the idea, size and placement are clear; flash days are the exception, with prices posted with the event.
Can you tattoo from a reference photo?
Yes, that's where most of my portraits start. A sharp, well-lit photo makes all the difference — send a few options and we'll pick the one that will translate to skin.
Do you do pet portraits?
Yes. I do black and grey realism portraits of pets as well as people, worked from a sharp, well-lit photo; the Shih Tzu in the work above is one.
Where is VVV Tattoo?
At 5528 58th St N, Kenneth City, FL 33709, in Pinellas County, about ten minutes west of downtown St. Petersburg. My sessions there are by appointment.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
Call the shop first, on +1 (813) 290-1472. VVV Tattoo is a shared studio, so that number reaches the front desk rather than me, and my own sessions are by appointment.
Do I need ID?
Yes. Bring a valid government photo ID to every session, not just the first. Florida law sets the age rules and requires a record of each client's age and date of birth, so your age is checked every time.
How do I look after a new tattoo?
Keep it clean, keep it out of the sun and out of pools, and don't pick at it. You'll get aftercare instructions before you leave, and you can message me if anything looks off.
Do you speak Spanish? · ¿Hablas español?
Yes. Write in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer. Sí. Escribe en español o en inglés, como prefieras.
