Hello!

 Thanks so much for your interest in getting tattooed by me. I want to give a gentle reminder that I can't take on as many appointments, larger projects or custom work as I used to due to some physical limitations. I hope you'll understand and be patient with me. Thanks so much for considering me to be your tattoo artist.

My schedule

Although I no longer tattoo full-time, I am usually available for appointments from Monday to Friday between 1-7pm. I'm currently only booking no more than 3 weeks out.

Designs/Pricing

• Pricing is based on the design size/placement and amount of detail. In order to give you a price quote, please make sure you are descriptive as possible with your tattoo request and include reference photos.
• If you have a strict budget, please let me know at the time of booking.
• For custom work, I ask that you allow me creative freedom during the design process. Minor design changes can be made the day of. Major design changes will require a new deposit and your appointment may need to be rescheduled. I draw about a week in advance so please communicate your design ideas with enough notice so I can prepare accordingly. 
• Price quotes are subject to change based on the final design, size and placement.

Deposits

• Appointments are not secured/confirmed until a deposit is made.
• Deposits are $100-$200 and go towards final cost. 
• Deposits and tattoo services are non-refundable and non-transferable.
• Cancellations/No-Shows will result in forfeit deposit.
• Please provide 5 days notice for your deposit to transfer to a new date. Failure to provide 5 days notice will result in forfeit deposit. Only one reschedule allowed. Additional reschedules will require new deposit. 
• No-Shows will result in forfeit deposit.
• Arriving 20 minutes late to your appointment will result in forfeit deposit and your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
• A deposit will be held for 60 days and considered forfeit after that point.
• Upon paying a deposit you agree to all deposit/shop policies.

Before your appointment:

• Get a good night's rest.
• Stay hydrated.
• 24 hours prior to appointment avoid alcohol, caffeine, blood-thinners if you're able to (talk to your doctor if necessary). This can cause excess bleeding during your session and may affect the healing of your tattoo.
• Do not sunbathe/tan 48 hours prior to your appointment. If you arrive with a sunburn, I may not be able to tattoo you.

The day of your appointment:

• PLEASE DO NOT wear perfume/body spray to your appointment (I am allergic)
• Eat a proper meal 2 hrs prior to your appointment and feel free to bring water/snacks in case you need them.
• Show up on time, no need to come early. 
• NOTICE TO ANYONE STAYING ON THE STRIP/DOWNTOWN: traffic in this area can be pretty bad and catching a rideshare can take time. Please take that into consideration when making your travel plans. 
• Wear comfy clothing that will provide easy access to area and that you wouldn't mind getting ink on.
• There are plenty of free/open spots right outside of the studio.
• Only one guest may accompany you to your appointment and must wait in the lobby. No one under 18 allowed in the studio.
• Government issued ID required at the time of your appointment. Must be 18+
• Remaining balance cash preferred, but I do take CC/Apple Pay with a 3% service charge.

Touch-ups

• Free tattoo touch-ups are subject to approval.
• Tattoo must be fully healed (usually a month). There may be a charge of $50+, depending on the amount of work required. Please make sure to take care of your tattoo. 

Tattoo Risks

• Although we take all possible measures to ensure the safety of our clients, it is important to note that there is always some degree of risk involved in getting a tattoo. While medical complications are uncommon, they may still occur. As with any invasive procedure, tattooing may involve possible health risks including pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, scarring of the tattooed area and nerve damage. It is also essential that you follow aftercare instructions carefully and take proper care of your new tattoo to minimize the risk of any adverse effects.
