Frequently Asked

Information and Q&A about booking, flash, and contact.

Pricing & booking info

  • Everything is priced around the tattoo time only, and I work at $200 an hour.
  • All bookings are limited to a two-hour minimum.
  • Some projects may be turned down if I’m not the best fit stylistically, but will always do my best to point you in the right direction.
  • A $100 deposit is required to lock in the appointment date. Without a deposit, the appointment is not set and the spot could be given up.
  • Consultations may be required for bigger projects & cover-ups.
  • I do not give exact tattoo time estimates, as some variables are unpredictable, like how well the skin takes, what design we land on or how well you’ll sit.
  • Budgets are always welcomed but may require simplifying the design/size or being broken up into sessions.
  • Major design alterations are limited to 3. Any changes outside of that will require a new appointment or a recommendation to a new artist.
  • If you wish to change the design concept that was originally booked, it must be done at least 2 weeks before for small/medium-sized projects. Bigger projects may require a new date or new deposit, as some drawings are started weeks in advance to ensure I’m allowing enough time for the design to be created.
  • Please let me know any design input, as creative direction is helpful for me to understand the overall vision.

Deposit information

  • The deposit is non-refundable and not transferable to another person or design. This deposit will go entirely toward the final price of the tattoo. It is also a security for the time we scheduled and drawing time set aside for the appointment.
  • I will need at least a week’s heads-up if a reschedule is needed; otherwise, a new deposit will be needed for the new date.
  • No-call no-shows will need a new deposit to book. (Exceptions for being sick or personal/family emergencies.)
  • 1 reschedule is allowed without a new deposit if given enough notice. Repeat cancellations will need a new deposit or may forfeit working together moving forward.
  • If you book an appointment for flash and cancel without setting a rescheduled date, that flash will be put back up for grabs.
  • By making a deposit for an appointment, you are agreeing to these terms :)

Additional information

  • I do not tattoo minors.
  • Your ID will be required on the day of the appointment.
  • Guests attending appointments are limited to 1 person; please let me know in advance.
  • You cannot be tattooed if you’re breastfeeding, pregnant, sunburned, sick or on antibiotics.
  • Please ask your health care provider if you’re unsure if you can be tattooed with existing medical conditions or taking certain medications.
  • Lotion and skin care are recommended leading up to the appointment day. Avoid lotion in the tattoo area on the day of your appointment.
  • Expect to be at the shop a few hours longer than the tattoo time to allow enough time for the design prep, breaks during and cool-down once finished.
  • I do not send designs and will show you the day of the appointment. There will be plenty of time to make tweaks to the design if need be.
  • Design reviews prior to the appointment will need to be scheduled in advance.
  • Please wear appropriate clothing that is comfortable and accessible to the space we are working in. I always recommend clothing you’re not too worried about being stained in the process.
  • Water and snacks are provided but you’re encouraged to bring your own snacks for longer appointments.
  • Please follow the provided aftercare instructions. If a touch-up is needed, it must be done within 6 months of our last appointment. Any touch-ups after those 6 months will require more time and will be charged.

Booking

Does sending the form confirm an appointment?

No. It sends a request for me to review. I will follow up personally; an appointment is not confirmed by submitting the form.

Flash

Are flash designs one-time designs?

Yes. Flash designs are one-time designs. When they're claimed, they'll be removed from the site.
