How do I book an appointment with you?
Check my website for the date when bookings open. On that day, you'll find an inquiry form to fill out. My assistant will respond by email. I only book through this form, not through DMs. Please provide as much detail as possible in 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 other artists' work. I aim to create a unique and special tattoo just for you. We can use references for inspiration, but I do not tattoo designs or drawings by others.
Do you charge by the hour or by the piece?
I charge per piece, but for larger projects that require multiple sessions, I use 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, lightly exfoliate and moisturize the area. Arrive well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. We provide pasties if needed. I will never ask you to remove clothing unless absolutely necessary to reach the tattoo location. Wear neutral colors if you consent to photography. Bring a drink, snack, and optionally a jacket or blanket for comfort. Books and headphones are welcome, though I enjoy chatting with clients.
DEPOSIT AND OTHER POLICIES:
DEPOSITS:
After we finalize your design and appointment, you’ll receive a deposit invoice. Deposits are required to book, with amounts of $100 or $200 depending on tattoo size. This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE but goes towards your final total. All invoices are due immediately. An appointment isn’t secured without a deposit.
Missing your appointment or failing to give 48 hours' notice to reschedule will forfeit your deposit and require a new one to rebook.
If you reschedule more than once, you’ll need to pay a new deposit. Changing your tattoo concept will also require a new deposit and could affect your appointment date.
Appointments can only be rescheduled within three months of the original date. Rescheduling outside this window will require a new deposit.
Deposits are non-transferable.
For touch-ups, contact me promptly. Touch-ups are free within the first six months.
LATE POLICY:
I’m understanding, but being 15+ minutes late disrupts my schedule. If you're late and haven't contacted me, you'll forfeit your deposit and need to pay a new one to rebook.
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF MY TIME.
