Welcome:

Please read before submitting form!

Thank you so much for the support and the interest. I have been tattooing 11 years in Toledo, Ohio at Lake Erie Studio. Due to the high volume of appointment requests, it can take some time for a reply on each individual request. Please only submit this form once. I created this form to make things easier and faster for everyone! I only book one tattoo per day, so all my attention is dedicated to that tattoo, that day.

Appointment Guidelines & Info

  • Large designs require in-person consultation or FaceTime the day before.

  • I am NOT taking on any cover ups larger than 2x2 inches. • If the tattoo you want done is outside of my specialty, I will refer you to an appropriate artist who can meet your expectations.

  • Tattoo After-care- for the first week of having your new tattoo, wash twice a day. Once in the morning and again at night with Dial unscented hand soap. For the second week wash only once a day, morning or afternoon. On the 14th day you can start hydrating your tattoo, once a day, with any unscented or natural lotion. For the first 3 weeks of having your tattoo be cautious and keep in mind that it is an open wound. Avoid sun exposure and submerging your tattoo in water for 3-4 weeks. Showers are perfectly fine. Exposure to sun or too much water could result in pigment healing lighter than it should, infection, etc. if you have any questions feel free to reach out.

If special circumstances arise and you must cancel or reschedule your appointment please contact me 48 hours before the appointment via email at mikeschlicherart@gmail.com.
