How do I book an appointment with you?

Check my website for the date books open. On that date, there will be an inquiry form available on my website to fill out. My assistant will reply via email. All of my booking is done this way. I do not book through DMs. Please be as detailed as possible when filling out the form.

When can I see my design?

I do not send out designs beforehand and do not sketch without an appointment being scheduled. There will be time at your appointment available for minor changes, if needed. I ask you to be as descriptive as possible when filling out the form so there isn’t any confusion. If needed, once we’ve replied to your request, you can send a rough layout sketch or inspiration photos if you have trouble putting your request into words. If you’re unsure of any details, we can discuss them via email, but I’m more than happy to take the wheel and design a layout that will work for your chosen placement.

Will you tattoo this design by another artist?

No. I do not copy the work of other artists. I want your tattoo to be unique and special and I would love to create that for you. We can use references as loose inspiration. I am no longer tattooing designs or drawings by others.

Do you charge by the hour or by the piece?

I charge by the piece, except for larger-scale projects that take sessions. Those are priced at half day and full day rates.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Deposits are paid via debit or credit card, by invoices emailed to you. For the balance, CASH ONLY.

This is my first tattoo, what do I need to know?

A few days before your appointment, it is a good idea to lightly exfoliate and moisturize the area to be tattooed. Please show up to your appointment well-rested, hydrated and having eaten a decent meal. Make sure to wear clothing that makes the tattoo location comfortably accessible. I will never ask you to to remove clothing unless absolutely necessary to reach the tattoo location. We have pasties available if needed. I also encourage wearing solid, neutral colors so that if photographed, the colors or designs don’t compete with the tattoo. You may bring a drink and a snack to your appointment. We keep the shop fairly cold, some like to bring a jacket or a small blanket for longer sessions. You may also bring a book or headphones, though I love to talk and get to know my clients.

DEPOSIT AND OTHER POLICIES:

DEPOSITS:

Once we have discussed the design and have picked an appointment date and time, you will be sent a deposit invoice. DEPOSITS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL BOOKINGS. Deposits work as a retainer to hold your appointment. My deposits are $100 or $200 non-refundable depending on the size of the tattoo. The deposit amount goes towards the final total of your tattoo. All invoices are due immediately upon receipt. A DATE CANNOT BE HELD WITHOUT A DEPOSIT.

Missing your appointment or failure to give 48 hours notice to reschedule will result in forfeiture of your deposit, requiring a new deposit for rebooking.

If you have to reschedule your appointment more that once, you will be required to pay a new deposit.

If you change the concept of your tattoo, you will be required to pay a new deposit and may risk losing your appointment date/ time.

If you need to reschedule, appointments can only be moved within a three month timeline of the original appointment. Rescheduling outside of this time frame will result in a new deposit needing to be made.

Deposits cannot be transferred to anyone else.

If you need a touch up, please contact me asap. Touch ups are free within the first 6 months.

LATE POLICY:

I’m a pretty understanding person, but if you’re running 15+ minutes late, this disrupts my whole schedule and will cause me to get behind. If you’re running late, and have not contacted me, you forfeit your deposit, requiring a new deposit to be paid in order to rebook.

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF MY TIME.
