+ How do I book a tattoo with you?
You can purchase flash pieces (pre-drawn designs) on this website! Otherwise, I accept custom tattoo requests via a link available on my 'Tattoo Request' website page. It will take you to a form you have to fill out. I accept a small amount of custom tattoo requests a month, so if you don't hear back from me, unfortunately it means I didn't select your request (you can re-submit in two months time). If I've tattooed you before - you can email me directly with custom tattoo requests.
+ What are your studio hours?
I work weekdays, between 12:00pm - 8pm. Unfortuntely, I do not work weekends unless I am doing a special event.
+ How does pricing work?
My pricing is currently $195/hr. Sometimes I have special pricing at flash events.
Your deposit is always subtracted from the total cost of your tattoo. However, your deposit is non-refundable. Your deposit must be paid again if you reschedule more than twice.
Running your own business is expensive. Tattooing is physically tiring and I do not tattoo 40hrs a week like a regular job. So, thank you for supporting a local, solo artist like myself!
+ Do you do colour tattoos?
I work mostly black ink only! But I do work with colour depending on the request.
+ Do you tattoo minors?
I only tattoo 18+.
+ Do you sell gift cards?
I do not sell gift certificates at this time.
+ Is your studio accessible?
Yes it is! Please let me know in the comment section of my request form if you require specific needs and I'll accomodate them as best as i can.
+ Do you do coverups/ re-work existing tattoos?
It depends on the exisiting tattoo! Please include a photo of your exisiting tatto on the request form so I can let you know if my style will allow for a successful coverup.
+ Do you do hand/finger/neck tattoos?
I only do hand/finger/neck tattoos sometimes. Tops of hands/fingers I do more often. You can google the reasons why many tattooists often choose not to tattoo certain areas!
+ Can I get more than one tattoo in a session?
Yes, if they’re on the smaller side, you can request a session to do 2 or 3 small tattoos in your form.
+ Do you design custom tattoos?
Yes, I design custom tattoos based on your vision and inspiration pictures. I will not tattoo an image off of the internet unless you’ve purchased a license to pay that artist. But I can take the inspiration photo and create something similar, to ensure it’s an adaptation of an original design. I enjoy designing delicate, illustrative, botanical tattoos.
+ Do you do consultations?
If you would like a consultation, please let me know in the comment section of my request form.
+ Are deposits refundable?
Deposits are non-refundable. This is to ensure that clients are committed and to reduce correspondence and processing fees. This is standard practice in the tattoo industry. My deposit is $195. If you must cancel/reschedule an appointment, you can do so up to 2 times if needed and your deposit can transfer over. If a third reschedule is needed, I will then require a new deposit.
+ Do I see the design before our appointment?
Yes! I will send you the design close to your appointment date for you to give me feedback/suggestions. We will both OKAY the design before your appointment so that when you arrive, we can focus on placement and then tattooing!
+ Can I bring a friend/my partner to my appointment?
Yes you can bring a friend! As long as no one is sick or has been in contact with someone who is sick (ex/ Covid, flu, colds, etc.)
+ What is a vegan tattoo?
Many tattoos nowadays claim to be vegan because they use vegan ink. However, if you’re an animal lover who wants to ensure that ALL aspects of your tattoo are vegan, I can ensure that everything I use is animal-free at each step of your tattoo. This includes the soap/ transfer paper/ transfer solution/ razors/ aftercare. I am a hardcore animal lover at my core. I believe in liberation for all humans and non-humans.
Unfortunately, the tattoo process is not zero waste. Because it involves breaking the skin (ie blood) tattooists must follow strict health guidelines for sanitizing and single-use needles/covering equipment.
+ What are your Covid19 guidelines?
Tattoo studios have always followed strict health & sanitation guidelines since we work with broken skin.
If you feel even slightly unwell, please reschedule your appointment.
If you’ve been in contact with a Covid19+ individual within the past 2 weeks, please reschedule.
