Before you book

Please send a description of the design you would like, along with any picture references you have. This helps me understand what you want, and if I am the right artist for you.

Please include:

General size, in inches

Placement

Black and grey or color

Deposit and redesign policy

I require a $100 deposit to secure your spot on my schedule. This deposit goes towards the total cost of your tattoo. The deposit is non-refundable, however, if you give me 48 hour notice that you can’t make your appointment time, I will roll your deposit over to a different time. I will send you your design before your appointment, you will either approve the design or provide feedback on things that need adjusted. After you have approved your design, any major changes requested within 48 hours of your appointment will incur a re-design fee.

Pricing

I tattoo by the piece, not by the hour. Before we get started, we decide on a price. I want to deliver high quality work that fits your budget. Our shop minimum is $100, so pricing starts there. After the deposit is paid, the rest of your total will be due at the time of the tattoo. On projects that exceed $1,000 in value, payment will be required in full before we begin he tattoo.

I accept cash, card, and Venmo for deposits/payment. If using Venmo, please use emojis in the memo line.

After your appointment is scheduled, prepare for your appointment by applying lotion to the area to be tattooed daily. No need to shave the area, I will take care of that part so we can prevent razor burn.

Before and aftercare

When you come to your appointment, you will need your ID. Bring anything that will keep you comfortable (blanket, snacks headphones, etc.) Please also dress accordingly, for example, if you are getting an upper arm tattoo, wear a tank top so that area is easily accessible.

Before scheduling, please note that you will not be able swim or work out excessively for two weeks after getting your new ink. You will need an antibacterial soap that is unscented, along with unscented lotion. Lotions I recommend are Lurbiderm, Jergens, and Cera Ve. Wash the tattoo gently with your fingertips and cleanse the area. Air dry completely and apply a very thin layer of lotion. Continue this process for the next two weeks, once in the morning and once in the evening. Avoid tight fitting clothes.

When your tattoo is healed, you can apply any kind of lotion you would like. If you plan on spending time outside, use sunscreen! It’s the best thing you can do to keep your tattoo looking great.

Touch up policy

I guarantee my work for life. Whether it is two months or two years after your tattoo, any touch ups needed are free. It's your body and my art, we both want it to look amazing. The only exception to this policy are hand and feet tattoos. These are highly used and abused areas of the body, and are known to not hold ink well. I will provide one free touch up in these locations. After an initial touch ups, if further work is needed, there will be an additional charge.
