Do you tattoo anyone under 18yrs old?
- No, I will not tattoo anyone under 18 years old.
***No exceptions.
Do you have minimum price when it comes to getting tattoo'd by you?
- Yes. My shop minimum is $200.
***Most single-session tattoos are priced by the piece rather than by an hourly rate. If you're interested in booking, please CONTACT me and I'll send you a few questions to answer. I'll review the references and detailed discriptions then I should be able to provide you with a rough estimate for your ideas.
What is your hourly rate?
- For larger, multi-session projects, my rate is $200 per hour.
***Your appointment time begins at our scheduled start time and includes any breaks either of us may need during the session.
What is the full process?
- Consult - We can discuss your ideas in person if you’re not comfortable doing it through email.
- Once we discuss things like size, placement, style, budget, booking availability, then we can then set an appointment date or multiple dates from there.
- Day of the appointment; I will have everything prepared so please show up on time, showered, sober and ready to go.
- Bring your photo ID, a small snack, a water bottle, a tablet or phone with headphones to keep yourself entertained during your session.
- Have plenty of time available the day of your appointment. - Just in case we have to redraw something or if it takes us longer than expected to place your stencil/s.
- Once the stencil/s are applied and dry; we will be ready to start your tattoo.
- We will take breaks throughout the session as you or I need
- Bring a (non alcoholic) drink, lunch and or small snack with you for the longer sessions.
- Once we finish your session; we may photograph our progress before you are bandaged up.
- I will then go over the AFTERCARE with you in person and if you have any questions; please do not hesitate to let me know.
How do I book an appointment?
- If you're interested in booking, please CONTACT me and I'll send you a few questions to answer. I'll review your references and detailed discriptions then I should be able to provide you with a few available dates and times.
Do you require a deposit?
- No.
I trust you are serious and will show up to your scheduled appointment/s.
What is your cancellation policy?
- If you NO SHOW, CANCEL or RESCHEDULE with less than 48hrs notice; I will require a $200 reinstatement fee before any further appointments will take place.
***The reinstatement fee is strictly to cover the appointment that you missed. -it is NOT a credit towards any future tattoo appointments.
***Please don't waste my time.
How long can I get tattoo`d for?
- Most sessions last between 4-8 hours.
Longer sessions often allow us to complete your tattoo faster, reducing the total number of appointments and healing periods.
***If you're traveling from out of town or would like a longer session, I'm happy to discuss accommodations. Let me know your budget and how long you feel comfortable sitting, and we'll create a plan that works for both of us.
Do you do small tattoos or just large scale work?
- I tattoo projects of all sizes. Whether you're looking for a small piece or a full sleeve, I'm happy to discuss your idea.
Do you do coverups?
- Yes, but cover-ups are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
Please submit your request through the CONTACT form and I'll send you a few questions to answer. -Please send clear photo references and detailed discriptions. Once I've reviewed everything, we can discuss what our options look like for the best coverup.
***Cover-up tattoos are often more complex and frequently require multiple sessions with careful layering. Being flexible with design options will usually produce the best final result.
In many cases, a few laser removal sessions beforehand can significantly improve the final outcome. I recommend consulting with [Laser Removal Provider] to discuss whether partial fading or complete removal would be the best option for your situation.
How long do I have to wait in between sessions?
- In most cases, you should wait 2–3 weeks between sessions.
***Sometimes we can tattoo a different area of the body while another tattoo'd area is healing. However, for the best results, it's generally recommended to allow the previous session to heal completely before continuing work on the same tattoo.
Are there any tattoos you will not do?
Yes.
I will not tattoo:
- Anyone under 18 years old
- Genitals
- Racist, hateful, or discriminatory imagery
- Designs that I believe promote violence or negativity
***I reserve the right to decline any project that does not align with my personal or professional standards.
Do you do face tattoos?
Yes.
- If you're requesting a face tattoo, I'll schedule your appointment at least two weeks in advance. This isn't because I'm judging your decision—it's because I want you to have plenty of time to think through a permanent change before committing.
Ultimately, it's your body and your decision to make. If we choose to move forward, I'll give your tattoo the same level of care, effort, and quality that I give every tattoo.
***Face tattoos receive more sun exposure and environmental wear than tattoos on most other parts of the body. I strongly recommend looking at well-healed examples so you have realistic expectations with how your tattoo may age over time.
