Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best way to book with you?

A: The best way to book an appointment with me is to fill out the form on my consultation page. Instagram DM’s tend to get lost in the mix, so via the form on my website is the most guaranteed way to reach me. I try to respond to all requests within 7 days!

Q: Do you tattoo minors?

A: Unfortunately I do not tattoo minors, even with parental consent. You must be at least 18 years of age and able to provide a driver’s license or passport at the time of appointment. 


Q: What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

A: The best thing you can do is to get a good night’s sleep and eat a balanced meal before your appointment! I also recommend bringing water and higher carb snacks for during the session to stay hydrated and keep your sugar levels up. It's also best to not drink alcohol the night before your appointment, and if possible to skip the caffeine the morning of. 


Q: What should I wear?

A: Something comfortable with access to the area that will be tattooed. Layers are also a good idea!


Q: Can I bring a friend?

A: I’m completely fine with you bringing one person along to keep you company and be your moral support, just let me know ahead of time! 


Q: Do I need to leave a deposit to schedule a session?

A: Yes, deposits are required for all appointments, and will be taken at the time of scheduling. Deposits will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo. 


Q: What is your cancellation and late policy?

A: Cancellations must be made within 7 days of your scheduled appointment or you risk forfeiting your deposit. Additionally, deposits will be forfeited if you no-show for your appointment, or arrive more than 15 minutes from the scheduled start time of the appointment.


Q: What if I’m sick?

A: I definitely prefer you to let me know if you’re feeling unwell prior to the appointment! Getting a tattoo can be hard on the body, so it's best to not put undue stress on your immune system. Clients can reschedule one time due to illness without forfeiting a deposit, but multiple cancellations may still risk forfeiture if it becomes a pattern. 


Q: Should I tip?

A: Tipping is appreciated but never required! If you decide to tip, the average percentage is the same as tipping in other service industries, but treats or other goodies are also always welcome! 


Q: How much will my tattoo cost?

A: My tattoo minimum is $150, and my hourly rate is $150/hour. I try to give as accurate an estimate as possible regarding how many hours you should expect your tattoo to take, but different factors can sometimes affect the process and sessions may run later or go more quickly than expected.

Policies

Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable without exception.

Cancellations made within 7 days of your scheduled appointment, no-showing for your appointment, or arriving more than 15 minutes after the scheduled time of appointment will result in forfeiture of deposit.  


Clients may reschedule once due to illness without risk of forfeiture of deposit. 

Tattooing is an art and changes may need to be made to the final design. Minor changes are a part of the collaborative nature of the tattooing process so please speak up! Please note that significant changes may result in your appointment needing to be rescheduled to allow time for re-design so that you are able to receive the best end results possible.
