Frequently Asked Questions
SCHEDULE
My schedule can fluctuate based on what my clients demand and on a first to make a deposit basis. Usually I will work no more than 5 days a week tattooing as I will be designing artwork that will go on your body permanently. I need time to make a custom design. I will not steal others designs. I can tweak or collage certain elements but the final piece cannot be an existing tattoo unless it is from a very close friend or relative.
Your appointment time will be confirmed through email only if you put down a deposit through Square. I draw the night before your appointment so please do not ask for the design before coming in. If the day comes and you’d like something changed, I can tweak it day of, or we can reschedule.
DEPOSITS
All bookings require a deposit to secure them. The deposit amount is %40 of the total cost, and will come off the total price of that day's session. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, they are transferable if you need to reschedule
CANCELLATIONS
There is a 24 hour cancellation period. Any cancellations within that 48 hours prior to the appointment, the deposit will be withheld and you will need to pay another deposit to re-book another appointment. Please note that 48 hours is the bare minimum amount of time to cancel. Advanced notice is much appreciated as it is much easier for me to schedule someone else in that time slot.
DESIGNS
It is not unusual for you to not see a design until the day of your appointment. again I can tweak small things on the day, or we can reschedule. Please be very clear with your design requests to prevent this happening. If you are not so comfortable with this method another artist may be better suited to you.
CONSULTATION
Consultations in person generally aren't necessary anymore for most projects, unless I am working around odd spaces between other tattoos, or if there’s a scar or pre-existing tattoo to cover up.
DO YOU TATTOO OVER SCARS?
Yes I tattoo over some scars but I do require a consult in person to see what we’re able to achieve. This is important because without knowing the texture of the skin and density of the scar I am at a loss for how to design a piece to suit your body. However If your scarring is light and flat to the touch It may not require an in person consult.
DO YOU DO COVER UPS?
I will typically only tattoo cover ups with previous laser lightening. This gives me more scope on creating a beautiful piece you actually want rather than being limited.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Please do not bring more than two people for company- I love having friends around, but in order to keep the space neat and less crowded 2 people is the limit. It is important that all the artists and clients are comfortable with enough space to work.
CREATIVE FREEDOM
I ask that my clients give me creative freedom with their ideas, (I.E. panther on my right forearm with berries) So I can create the BEST TATTOO without limitations and restrictions. I understand there are some things that you may really love to include or leave out, and these are always taken into consideration when choosing pieces I take on so if you would like a tattoo from me please include these specifics in your initial inquiry (I.E. I do not prefer XXX and I would like XXX) - that’s ok! This allows me to expand more and become more creative with each piece so they remain unique to you!
Please send me a clear straight on picture of the area to be tattooed, and and many references as possible.
I will place the design’s elements how they fit best with the contour and body, this is something I won’t compromise on as the layout of the tattoo is vital to the end result looking like the work you expect. I put my all into each design which is time consuming to create so please know that everything about your finished design is intentional.
