General Info
Scheduling an appointment
All tattoos will require an official consultation to discuss your idea, and hammer out the details. This consult will likely be virtual online, unless it requires an in-person element. At the time of the consultation we can schedule your appointment if you're ready!
To set an appointment I require a non refundable deposit of $100 (which comes off of the cost of the tattoo on the final session). This will be collected through Square Invoice during the consult. Once the deposit is received it begins the process. During the consultation we will also fill out the Consent forms for you procedure*.
*I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18. Photo identification will be required for the consent forms.

Designing Process
I like to create custom work based on client input. I'm happy to look at references for what the client would like, but I always strive to create a custom tattoo that will belong to only that client. You are unique, your tattoos should be as well. Drawings are often done a couple days before the appointment, that works with my schedule, and keeps the tattoo fresh in my brain. In some cases a preview of the design will be sent to the client, other times the design will be available day of the appointment. Either way we can always make changes to the design. I will always do my best to make my clients happy with their tattoo and their ideas, while using my expertise to make sure that the tattoo will not only look good now, but for years to come.
Deposit Policy
To secure a tattoo appointment, I require a non-refundable deposit which of $100 (or more for larger pieces). This is to ensure that your appointment will be held just for you. The deposit will be applied to the price of the tattoo on your appointment day. You must give me at least 12 hours notice for cancellations so that I may attempt to schedule another client.
*If for some reason you are unable to give me 12 hours notice, or simply don’t show up, I will absorb the deposit to cover the time that was set aside for you. At this point I would need another deposit to set up another appointment time. This includes appointments where the client is so late that they need to be rescheduled. Please call the shop if you are running late. If you are more than 15 minutes late I can not guarantee that we will be able to do your tattoo that day, as the flexibility of my schedule will depend on the other appointments booked that day.
REDESIGNS and DEPOSITS:
Your deposit covers the tattoo discussed during the consultation. If I am required to do a complete redraw, or you change your ideas after our discussion an additional fee might be required. Please make sure you are comfortable with your tattoo idea before setting an appointment.

Pricing
Small and medium pieces will be priced by the piece (minimum $100), large scale, multi session pieces, such as sleeves are priced at an hourly rate of $180/hr.
Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
I will apply either a second-skin bandage or a black dri-lock bandage. For second-skin refer to Adheivsive Bandage Section.
When you get home, remove bandage. Wash tattoo with a mild liquid soap. Soaps with a strong fragrance may irritate a new tattoo. Pat dry with a paper towel. A thin layer of A&D, Aquaphore, or tattoo aftercare may be applied. Continue to wash and keep clean. After 24-48hrs start using an un-scented, dye free, and water based lotion such as Eucerin, Lubriderm, Aveeno about 3-5 times a day, or whenever the tattoo feels dry or tight.
A Tattoo takes about 2 weeks for initial heal and heals very similar to a sunburn, flaking and peeling is normal. It is important that you not scratch, scrub, or pick at your tattoo-It can lead to ink being pulled from the skin.
You will also need to avoid soaking your tattoo in a bath tub, hot tub, pool or ocean water etc, for two weeks. Shower is absolutely fine. For those same two week also avoid tanning and or direct sun exposure. Wear loose fitting clothes over the tattoo. For the first day your tattoo may ooze a bit and may stain anything it comes in contact with like clothing and bed linens.
Adhesive Bandage Instructions:
Adhesive bandages (saniderm) are designed to protect your tattoo from dirt, germs, friction and moisture. They are breathable yet waterproof, so you can shower with them on. They also allow you to show off your new tattoo without danger of contamination.
LEAVE the adhesive bandage on at least overnight. It can stay in place for 12-48 hours as long as the adhesive seal remains intact and there is no excessive fluid build-up (pooling) under the surface. If further protection is required for special circumstances please talk to your artist about options. Usually one application of the bandage is sufficient to seal in your body's natural fluids and expediate the healing process.
To REMOVE your adhesive bandage place it under warm running water, peel it back slowly from an edge or corner, peeling it parallel with your skin, and not away from your body. Avoid stretching your skin as you do this.
Once the bandage is removed wash the tattoo with a mild liquid soap and proceed with regular aftercare as directed by your artist.
If you experience any adverse reaction, or if you find the adhesive bandage irritating, hot, or bothersome, remove it immediately, WASH your tattoo and proceed with normal aftercare.
Happy Healing!
