THE ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS

BOOKING FAQ

  • I require consults for first time tattoos, large tattoos, complicated tattoos or ideas, and cover ups. If you're still working through an idea, or you just want to touch base with me before getting tattooed, that's okay too. The more you communicate with me, the more personalized your tattoo will be. Remember, consults are free, and tattoos are forever!

  • Once I decide to take on your tattoo, you will be invoiced the deposit, and it is required to secure your appointment in my books. It lets me know you're serious about the tattoo! The deposit credits towards your appointment and have a 1 year expiration date. If you need multiple sessions, the deposit goes toward your final visit. The deposit is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, I can work with you, but I require 72 hours notice and your deposit can only be transferred once.

    Deposit for full day is $135 (6hrs)

  • No, I do not copy other artists’ images. I can draw inspiration from the images you send me, but please note that I only do custom artwork.

  • Take a look at my portfolio. I also post recent tattoos to Instagram, so you can look there to see what I've been up to.

  • Artwork review will happen at your tattoo appointment.

  • I am an appointment only artist.

TATTOO FAQ

  • A couple of things — Hydration and food are important. You are encouraged to bring snacks and should absolutely bring WATER.

    Full-day tattoos need to have a plan for a meal mid-tattoo. We have a shop fridge/microwave, and door dash delivers. See the food FAQ for more info.

    Headphones and a preloaded book/playlist if you want to be distracted. We play music in the shop and are happy to chat, but some people want a nice distraction.

    Bring a blanket you don’t care too much about. Layers are good, wear socks or bring socks so you can kick off your shoes and get comfy. No bare feet in the shop.

  • Here is a little advice from a longtime client and friend, Bo.

    Their biggest piece of advice is that you should be able to feel comfortable talking to your tattoo artist about what you’re feeling. Whether that is pain or what you want, it is more than ink and needles going into your skin. You have to trust your artist.

  • Yes, that is very true. If you are on antibiotics you need to cancel your appointment. The function of an antibiotic is to remove foreign bodies from your system - ink would be considered one of these.

  • Wear something comfortable that you don’t mind getting some ink on. There is no judgment if you wear your comfy jammies…just be sure that whatever you wear will allow easy access to the area we are working on.

    Bring socks or if you want to kick your shoes off. (No bare feet in the shop)
