frequently asked questions

    • My books open every 2-3 months.

    • I mainly book flash, but will take on customs occasionally (about 2-4 each booking round).

    • I post booking updates on the booking page on my website and in my instagram bio.

    • When my books are open there will be a gallery with available flash designs with approximate sizing and pricing.

    • From there you can fill out a booking form.

    • If your request is accepted you will be emailed a link to schedule and pay a $100 non-refundable deposit!

    • Flash: All designs have a minimum price, the price will go up accordingly if you want it bigger than the listed sizes at $175/hr.

    • Customs: I charge a minimum of $200 continuing at $200/hr. Customs cost more since they are only tattooed once and tailored to your preferences. You can always compare pricing of my flash for a budget reference!

    • Please reschedule if you are feeling sick.

    • Make sure you are financially prepared.

    • Bring headphones if you want, it’s a great way to pass time and distract you from the pain.

    • Some people bring books.

    • Eat a good meal at least two hrs prior to avoid low blood sugar, light-headedness or fainting.

    • You can bring small snacks to keep up your blood sugar, we also provide candy.

    • If your appointment is longer than 3 hours I would recommend bringing a lunch!

    • Come hydrated. It makes your skin more resilient and also helps your tattoo heal faster. We also have a water dispenser in the waiting area.

    • Get plenty of sleep, being tired can lower pain tolerance.

    • If you can, bathe beforehand or the day of. Skin cleanliness is an extra precaution to prevent possible infection.

    • Moisturize your skin a few days leading up to the tattoo, but not the day of. This isn’t necessary but can cause less trauma to the skin.

    • Do not drink alcohol the night before because it’s a blood-thinner.

    • Wear comfortable clothes and make sure it is loose enough to pull up to reach desired placement of the tattoo if needed. (We provide pasties if the tattoo is in a surrounding area.)

    • If you tend to get cold I don’t mind if you bring a small blanket!

    • I accept cash (preferred) or card with a 3% processing fee. Tips are always optional! Please email me if you have any additional questions about pricing before your appointment.

    • If you are running late let me know, but if you are more than 15 minutes late, the appointment may be canceled.

    • If you are more than 15 minutes late without communication you will be marked as a no-call no-show.

    • If you no-call no-show, I won't tattoo you in the future and I will keep your deposit.

    • This is my full time job and I would like to avoid hard feelings, so please just communicate with me and try to arrive on time/consider going to the ATM the day before if you’re planning on paying with cash!

    • If you would like to reschedule more than 72 hours in advance, you may do so from your original confirmation email without notifying me. There should be a black button that says “Reschedule/Cancel Appointment” where you can pick a new date in the calendar!

    • If you can’t find a date that works, reach out and I’ll see if I can open up the schedule to show more dates in later months.

    • If you need to reschedule within the 72 hour window, you will need to reach out to me directly to make additional changes.

    • Deposits are non-refundable and do not carry over if unless you reschedule before 72 hours of your appointment. Otherwise rescheduling is available with a fee of $50.

    • No, I only tattoo with black ink- with the occasional exception of white to lock in isolated details.

    • Feel free to bring a guest, but please have them stay in the waiting area for the duration of the tattoo.

    • Yes. Scars should be at least over one year old. Please let me know when booking so I can determine the best plan of action based on the age and texture of your scars. Touch ups should be expected, but are free.
