A tattoo artist who comes to your home in Bataan

Bataan is a province, not a town, and it is a long one. An enquiry that says only "Bataan" cannot be quoted, because Dinalupihan at the top and Mariveles at the tip are not the same journey by any measure.

There is no studio to visit, here or anywhere: the work happens at the address you give, on a date arranged in advance.

Where this is

A province, not a town. It runs the length of the peninsula south of Zambales, from Hermosa and Dinalupihan at the top down to Mariveles at the tip.

Name the municipality

Name the municipality, not just the province. Bataan is long, and an address in Dinalupihan and an address in Mariveles are a different journey entirely, so "Bataan" on its own is not enough to quote the travel from.

How the visit runs in Bataan

The session itself is the same wherever in the province the address is: a covered table, a sealed kit opened in front of you, and nothing left behind. What changes across a province this long is the day around it rather than the hour of work, so the further down the peninsula the address is, the more the date is worth agreeing early instead of moving late.

Where this sits on the round

Bataan is reached from the Zambales side at the TOP of the peninsula, which is why the municipality matters so much here: an address at the northern end is the near part of the province and the tip is the far part, and they are at opposite ends of one long road. No single distance is published for the province, because one number would flatten exactly the distinction this page exists to make. Name the municipality and it can be measured properly.

Which parts of Bataan are covered?

Asked from Bataan

The province was confirmed by the owner as a whole rather than municipality by municipality, so the honest answer is that it is worth asking from anywhere in it. What differs down the length of it is the travel line on the quote, not whether there is one.

How the travel charge works

Two amounts, quoted together. The tattoo is priced on size, detail and how long it takes. Travel is priced on how far your address is from the artist, and it is a separate line rather than something folded into the tattoo price.

The travel is yours to pay, on top of the tattoo, and no figure for either is published on this site. A travel charge that ignored distance would be wrong for almost everyone, so it is worked out once you name where you are.

What you provide

A table, a chair you can sit still in for a few hours, a power socket and decent light. That is the whole list. The artist brings everything else, including the covering that goes over your table before anything is opened.

Nothing is bought or borrowed at your end, and nothing used is left behind.

The other areas confirmed so far

Five others, and not being on the list is not a no. If your town is in Luzon it is worth asking; if it is on Visayas or Mindanao, it is not covered.

If you are in Bataan

Put the municipality in the enquiry, not just the province. With it, a date and two figures come back together. Without it, the first reply is a question.
