BOOKING

How do I get an appointment?

Yes! Please make sure to indicate which tattoos you’d like in the booking form and make a note of it in the comments section. This is to ensure your appointment is properly timed.

Tips are not mandatory, but appreciated. Anywhere from 10% to 30% is common for a tip on a tattoo.

If you are running more than 15 minutes late without informing me, you will forfeit your deposit and potentially your appointment time as well. Please email ASAP if you are running behind.

What if I have time sensitive plans after the appointment?
I cannot guarantee we will finish on time, and there’s nothing more stressful than rushing a tattoo. To be on the safer side, please do not book an appointment with the intention of rushing off to an important engagements right afterwards.


PRICING


How much do your tattoos cost?
My minimum is $100/hour. The pricing of your tattoo will depend on size, detail, color, and placement. I will provide an estimate for you before you schedule your appointment. I only provide pricing estimates once you’ve filled out a booking request.

Yes, in order to secure your booking, you will need to send a non-refundable deposit of $50. Your deposit reserves your appointment date/time. The deposit will be deducted from the total tattoo price that you pay at the end of your session.

DESIGNS

Where can I find your flash?
My flash is available here and Instagram! To stay up to date on my newest flash, please follow me on Instagram :)


Can you make edits to existing flash?
Yes, but any requests for edits will need to be discussed prior to your appointment. Please make a note of it in the booking form (under custom flash) and I will get back to you.


Can I request color in my tattoo?
No, currently I’m only specializing in blackwork.  

Do you do custom projects?

I am always open to to making changes to my flash. If you have an idea that you think could work with my style, please email me!


Will I see custom edits to flash before the appointment?
At the start of your session, your tattoo design will be seen in person. I will not provide design(s) before an appointment date due to copyright infringement and the inability to discuss the artwork in person. I will allocate time in your appointment to allow any changes or alterations.

Can I request color in my tattoo?
Unfortuntaely no, currently I’m only specializing in black and grey.

Can I get your work tattooed by another artist?
Please do not get any of my designs tattooed by somebody else. When I am not tattooing, I spend a lot of time drawing and curating my flash so it is the best representation of my art.  

Can you tattoo a design by another artist?
I do not tattoo designs by other artists.

Do you retire flash?
Yes, I will retire flash at my discretion (after ~2-3 times)

AFTERCARE


What if I need a touchup?
I provide free touch-ups for my tattoos. If you need a touch-up, just send me an email with “Touch Up” in the subject line and include photos of your tattoo.

What are signs of an infected tattoo?
While proper tattoo aftercare should help you avoid infection, it can still happen. If your tattoo is infected, you need to see a doctor immediately to get medication.

Here are the symptoms to watch out for:
  • A rash or hot raised skin on and around the tattoo
  • Increased swelling
  • Fever
  • Increased pain
  • Chills and sweats
  • Pus or discharge coming from the wound 

You should see a doctor if these symptoms last more than a week. While swelling and discomfort are normal, they should be considered abnormal if they worsen or persist for a long period. Check out the Aftercare page on how to keep your tattoo infection-free.

Tips
  • Keep saniderm on for up to 2 days. It should at least be left on overnight.
  • If you are using cling wrap, it can be removed after 2-3 hours
  • The tattoo will have some redness, soreness, and slight heat for up to one week.
