FAQs

Who are you?

Hi! My name is Lezlie Dorcus and I use they/them pronouns.

I am a non-binary tattooer and printmaker and I've been living in Portland, Oregon for 11 years now!

I grew up in Southern New Hampshire then I received my BFA in Printmaking in 2011 from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, RI.

Where are you located?

As of June 2022, I am tattooing at Constellation Tattoo Collective in North Portland, Oregon.

How do I book a tattoo with you?

I announce when booking is open on my instagram and through my mailing list.

To book with me, you'll first need to fill out my booking form!

I have a limited number of tattoos I do each month, so please sign up for the mailing list to be the first to find out when my books open!
Please do not email me or DM me about appointment availability.

What are your rates?

As of January 2023, I am charging $150/hour for custom tattoos with a $150 minimum.

Flash Designs are priced at a flat rate and labeled on the flash sheets. This flat rate includes a range of sizes and is the same for most placements. (It usually ends up costing much less than my hourly rate)

Typically most flash designs range from $150-$500 depending on size/placement/design.

Do you charge a deposit?

I require a $50 deposit to hold an appointment for both flash and custom work. This will go to the final cost of your tattoo. This will be paid during the booking process after your appointment has been selected.

These act as placeholders for appointments, and also as a buffer for cancellations. They are non refundable and non-transferrable.

For custom work, I require a $50 non-refundable drawing fee. This gets paid at the same time as the deposit and does NOT go to the final cost of your tattoo.

Please be intentional when you choose your appointment time. If you need to reschedule an appointment, I require a new $50 deposit and the old one is forfeited. If you are cancelling due to health/covid reasons, you do not have to pay an additional deposit to reschedule!

How do you accept payments?

Cash only at the appointment. The deposit can be paid through Stripe or PayPal on my scheduling portal.

What is your COVID safety protocol?

Both artists and clients must wear masks at all times in the studio.

We have extra masks if you forget to bring yours to the appointment!

What days of the week do you work?

I schedule appointments Wednesdays-Fridays and Sundays. (with some wiggle room depending!)
