Catalpa is a private studio located in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Quebec, Canada. The Street address is:

507-4529 rue Clark, Montréal, QC H2T 2T3

Please enter using the northernmost glass doors to access the elevator.

The door code will be emailed to you when you book your appointment.

• The studio is located on the fifth floor of the building, and is accessible by elevator (yay!) or a stairwell. To access the elevator use the northernmost glass doors of the building. The entrance to the studio is a barrier- free single door. The washrooms on the 5th floor are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, but there are single occupancy washrooms on the first floor, one with a toilet, one with a toilet + urinal. Neither of the washrooms have grab bars.

• There is one step up to the area where I typically tattoo, however, just let me know and I am happy to move my station to the area that is barrier- free.

•  If you have any questions or specific accessibility needs, please write to me and I'll do our best to make our space work for you.

Each artist has their own rates. A sliding scale can be offered to make our tattoos more accessible. Drawing time is included in the final price of the tattoo. Once an appointment is confirmed, an estimated price will be provided. Payments are accepted in cash, e-Transfer, or Paypal for those coming from outside of Canada.

Please note that the closest ATM is about 10 minutes walking distance from the studio.

A deposit will be requested when you confirm your tattoo appointment. Please contact your artist to confirm the amount of your deposit. You may either pay cash at the time of your consultation or make a transfer using e-Transfer or Paypal (confirm this with your artist when paying). In general, the deposit is non-refundable. If you’d like to change the time and/or date of your appointment, you must let the artist know at least 48 hours in advance.

– You do not come to your appointment, or you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment

– You cancel without the intention of rescheduling your appointment

We do! Since our studio is quite small, we typically welcome guest artists when one of our artists is absent. Please write to us if you wish to do a guest spot in our studio. Please note that it is essential that the guest artists we welcome in our studio agree with the values of our studio and adhere to our COVID-19 protocol and standards of tattoo hygiene.

While we understand that it is sometimes impossible to come to an appointment for different reasons, please note that you must let your artist know at least 48 hours in advance to not lose your deposit. We will do our best to arrange a new appointment for you as soon as we can. Please contact your artist directly by email if you need to cancel.
