FAQ

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

Nope! You just need a general idea. I’m happiest when given creative freedom to do what I do best. I do require reference photos which also help me get a better idea of what you’re thinking.

What forms of payment do you take?

Cash only after the initial invoice. Please come to your appointment prepared.

How does scheduling/rescheduling work?

An invoice to save your date and project is due at the time a date is picked. It is applied to the overall cost when you come in along with a drawing fee. Because the invoice is to save your date and project, and to hold everyone accountable, there is no moving your payment to a new date or project.

Can I bring a friend?

Due to current circumstances, guests are mot permitted to reduce the amount of people in the studio.

How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Up until the appointment, use lotion to make the skin as healthy as possible. Shave the night before your appointment. On the day of EAT A LARGE MEAL. This fuels the body and can make the whole experience a lot more tolerable. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water to remain hydrated throughout the appointment. Aftercare will be discussed at the end of your appointment.

What do I need to bring to my tattoo appointment?

Anything to make yourself more comfortable- pillow, blanket, snacks, water, etc. You are also welcome to listen to your own music/movie if you bring headphones!

How soon in advance should I reach out to you for a tattoo?

I open my booking every few months and have people request through a form. Be sure to sign up for my mailing list to be notified of the next opening!

Can I arrive early or late?

Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the start of your appointment. Anyone late by 10 minutes or more will lose their invoiced payment and must schedule a new appointment for another date.

What clothing should I wear?

Clothing that allows ease of access to the area I will be tattooing.

How long will my appointment take?

I'm happy to give an estimate once I collect all the information I need from you as it depends on the project. Please do not set a time constraint by making plans later in the day. I do not believe permanent artwork is something to be rushed and therefore won't work under time constraints. I schedule the amount of time necessary to finish the requested project.

Is it common to tip a tattoo artist?

Of course tips aren't expected, but always greatly appreciated! Tips go towards keeping my business going because there is a lot of behind-the-scenes magic at play. If you appreciate the work I do, tipping really shows it! The average tip for a tattoo is 15-20% of the overall cost. Thanks in advance!
