First, a little background.
Madame Talbot ran her own tattoo studio for five years while living in Seattle.
The name of her studio was Parlor XIII.

Madame Talbot's own father was tattooed by the famous Bert Grimm:
(He tattooed Bonnie and Clyde and is buried here on the Oregon Coast.)


She got an homage to Wassely Kindinsky tattooed on her back,
which was featured in the book Modern Primitives.

Her most famous tattoo client was The Enigma
from the Original Jim Rose Circus Sideshow:

Madame Talbot only got as far as doing the outining of just his legs.
(Katzen - shown in photo with Enigma on the right - did the rest.)

Please take your time and read the Tattoo FAQ below and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lucky and he will help you. TATTOO FAQ: I have an idea for a custom tattoo. Can Madame Talbot create one for me? Yes, Madame Talbot can design a custom tattoo just for you, taking your basic ideas and creating a finished product that you will want to stay with you for the rest of your life (and then some). What will I be giving my tattoo artist? We will send you a hard copy (clean xerox) of your completed custom tattoo design, or if you prefer, we can send you a digitial file via email. We will make sure to provide all of the materials that you will need to present to your tattoo artist. Sounds easy so far. How do I get started? First, you tell us what you are looking for, how large or small you want your tattoo, where on your body you plan to have your new tattoo. Then we give you a price and an approximation on how long it will take to execute your design. How much will this cost? Because you are getting a one-of-a-kind custom design that no one else is going to have, you are paying for a made-to-order, tailor-made tattoo made just for you. We charge by the piece and require 1/2 up front and 1/2 upon delivery. Prices will of course vary depending on the size, location, and the subject matter. You can pay with Paypal, credit card, money order, check, or echeck. After I have paid my 1/2 upfront, how long will it take? Madame Talbot will come up with two pencil sketches for you to choose from and you should be hearing from us within a week, possibly two weeks. This is because Madame Talbot is usually booked up solid with work, and we have to schedule your tattoo design into her workload. She will work as closely as possible with your idea and make minor artistic changes that will only enhance the beauty of your design. That is why you are hiring Madame Talbot to create a custom tattoo design. You will choose one of those and make final adjustments on that one, and a week or so later, we will send you an email with a digital camera photo of what it will look like. If you are happy with what your custom tattoo design by Madame Talbot, you will pay your final 1/2 upon delivery. Once we receive your payment, we will send it to you pronto via the United States Postal Service, or email. O.K. I am interested, who do I contact? You will want to contact Lucky, by either email at Lucky at MadameTalbot dot com, or BrennanDalsgard at gmail dot com. He will get right back with you and answer any questions that you might have regarding your one-of-a-kind custom tattoo design.
