Frequently Asked Questions

Just click the Book Your Session button and fill out the form with your tattoo idea and details.

I’ll reach out to schedule an in-person consultation to go over everything before your session. A deposit is required to lock in a date for an appointment. 

No, deposits are non-refundable. Your deposit secures your appointment time and covers the time it takes me to sketch your custom design.  

If you need to reschedule, please let me know at least 2 days in advance and your deposit can be applied to a new date.

Not always. I put a lot of time and effort into drawing custom designs, so in some cases the deposit helps cover that work rather than going toward the tattoo. But either way, it makes sure your spot and design are reserved just for you.

Yes, I'm all about custom work!  I’ll work with your ideas and create a design that’s unique to you. You’re welcome to bring references pictures for inspiration.

I typically have designs ready a few days before your scheduled appointment.  Please note that I work on designs in the order deposits are received so I might be working on multiple projects at once.

For larger more detailed tattoo designs, i prefer to review the final draft with you in person.  This makes it easer to go over any details together and make any adjustments on the spot.

Yes, Most of my work is by appointment so I can prepare properly, but feel free to stop by if I have time that day, I’ll do my best to fit you in. 

The best way to book an appointment, would be to send a request. 

Get a good night’s rest, eat a solid meal before your appointment, and stay hydrated.  Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning substances the night before.  Wear comfortable clothing that makes it easier to access the area to be tattooed.  Make sure you bring your ID.

Pain levels vary depending on the placement and your personal tolerance. Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than unbearable. I’ll do everything I can to keep you comfortable throughout the process.

I'll go over the aftercare instructions after our session, but in general: keep it clean, moisturized, and avoid picking or scratching. Stay out of pools, hot tubs, and direct sun until it’s healed.

Yes, I do both on a case-by-case basis.  

A consultation is required to see what’s possible and design something that works best with your skin and existing tattoo or scar.

The cost of your tattoo depends on several factors, including the size, detail, placement, and style of the design. Because every tattoo is unique, I provide pricing after an in-person consultation where we can go over your ideas and expectations. This ensures you receive an accurate quote.
