Ritual Ink

Ritual Ink is the evolution of Rosemary Ink's premier offering: Intuitive Ink.

A transformative hand-poke tattoo journey anchored in sacred practice. Each tattoo serves as a meaningful threshold—a portal, seal, or catalyst for profound personal change.

Your experience can be as structured or intuitive as you desire. Whether you come with specific imagery and placement in mind or prefer to surrender to a fully channeled design, our process honors your unique path. The thoughtful questionnaire in your booking form helps us attune to your energy and create your tattoo with sacred intention. We invite you to complete it with presence and authenticity.

Begin Your Journey

Your tattoo ritual begins the moment you book your session. This first step across the threshold invites transformation.

During booking, you'll complete a brief questionnaire to share:

  • Your intention - what energy you wish to embody, release, or be the focal point of your tattoo

  • Your preferences - Any imagery or symbolism you feel drawn to include

  • Your astrology - birth details to explore astrological influences for your design

  • Your boundaries - ensuring your tattoo honors your authentic self

This sacred exchange plants the first seed of your ritual experience.

The Channeling & Design

Before your appointment, Carly will create a sacred space dedicated to channeling your unique design.

Through meditation, divination tools, and intuitive guidance, Carly will craft a custom design specifically for you.

Follwing this, you’ll receive a Ritual Report containing:

  • Insights and messages revealed during the creation process

  • The symbolic meaning behind your design's elements

  • Space to make adjustments or decide between design variations if need be

The Day of Ritual (Your Scheduled Appointment)

When you arrive, the space will be prepared—cleansed & programmed with your intention.

Together, we’ll:

  • Integrate your intention through guided practice and a card reading for clarity

  • Welcome your personal offerings to the altar (You are welcome & encouraged to bring offerings—flowers, herbs, stones, prayers—to place on the altar that will hold our work for the duration of the ritual)

  • Drop into a 20-minute reiki session to clear, align, and prepare your body to receive the tattoo as medicine

Then, the hand-poke tattooing begins—a mindful, meditative process with tools and inks charged with selenite and reiki energy.

✦ Investment Guide ✦

Your Ritual Ink journey is a weaving of both ritual preparation and tattoo time. Each session begins with a $350 deposit, which covers the Divination & Ritual components (channeling, design, Ritual Report, intention setting, & reiki session prior to tattooing).

Tattooing is then priced at $150/hour with a 1-hour minimum.

Below are some examples to help you imagine the investment for your piece:

  • Small piece (approx. 1.5 hrs tattoo time)
    $350 deposit + $225 tattoo time = $575 total

  • Medium piece (approx. 3 hrs tattoo time)
    $350 deposit + $450 tattoo time = $800 total

  • Larger, more detailed work (4–5 hrs tattoo time)
    $350 deposit + $600–$750 tattoo time = $950—$1100 total

For expansive or ongoing pieces, please share your budget during booking, and we’ll create a design and timeline that honors both your vision and your resources. Questions/Inquiries can be sent to carly@rosemaryink.com.
