WILL I SEE THE DESIGN BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
I want you to feel completely confident in your tattoo, so here’s how it works: while I don’t share designs before the appointment, I will create a sketch based on the details you provide. Feel free to share inspiration and reference pictures leading up to your session! On the day of your appointment, we’ll sit down together to review the preliminary design, and I’ll make any adjustments to ensure it’s perfect for you. Rest assured, no tattooing will begin until you’re 100% happy with the design!
RUNNING LATE/NO SHOW POLICY
Life happens! If you find yourself running late, just drop me a quick message. If I don’t hear from you and you're 20 minutes late, I may need to cancel the appointment to keep my schedule on track. If you can’t make it at all, please let me know so I can plan accordingly.
DOES GETTING A TATTOO HURT?
Every experience is different, but getting a tattoo can be a bit uncomfortable since it involves applying pigment under the skin. Generally, larger tattoos may take longer and can be more intense. However, many people find it manageable, and many come back for more—so it can’t be that bad! 😊
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?
Taking care of your new tattoo is super important! Here’s a simple guide to keep it looking great:
Leave the bandage on for 2-5 hours post-appointment.
Remove it, wash your tattoo gently with warm water and soap, pat it dry, and apply Aquaphor twice a day for the first 2-3 days.
After three days, switch to an unscented lotion.
Please avoid re-bandaging, chlorine pools, salt water, and excessive sun exposure while it’s healing.
And please resist the urge to pick at any scabs! Healing usually takes about 10-15 days.
If you have Saniderm on, keep it on for three days, then remove it gently in the shower and clean your skin with antibacterial soap. For more care tips, check out this helpful video: Tattoo Aftercare.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET A TATTOO?
Tattoo prices vary based on size, complexity, and placement, starting at $300. My hourly rate is also $300. Remember, this is a unique piece of art that you’ll cherish forever, so it’s worth investing in!
HOW TO BOOK
I'm excited to work with you! My booking form is available at all times, so you can reach out whenever you're ready. I typically schedule appointments about three months in advance, so it’s best to contact me at least a month before your desired date.
To secure your appointment, I do require a non-refundable deposit of $150 or $250, depending on the complexity of your design. This deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. If you need to reschedule, I kindly ask for a 48-hour notice so that I can offer that time to someone else.
On the day of your appointment, we’ll go over the initial concepts I’ve prepared for you together. I create all designs that morning, so you’ll be seeing them for the first time when you arrive! We’ll discuss any adjustments to make sure everything is just right. My goal is to make your experience smooth and enjoyable!
Please keep in mind that only selected submissions will receive a response. Due to the volume of inquiries, it might take me 3-7 days to get back to you.
