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.
