Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an appointment?
The Book tab on my website allows you to book your own appointment to come in and grab flash off the wall. For custom designs, I ask that you fill out this form.
How much do you charge?
My pricing depends entirely on my client’s budget. When I am given a budget, I will never exceed it, but will work to maximize your dollar with a tattoo of appropriate size and/or detail. For long-term projects, I charge an hourly rate of $175/h.
What is your deposit policy?
Once your appointment is booked, you will be e-mailed an invoice for your deposit due one week prior to your appointment. So long as your deposit is unpaid, your appointment is not confirmed. The deposit will be applied to the cost of your tattoo when the tattoo is finished regardless of how many appointments are required to finish it. All deposits are non-refundable.
Do you tattoo minors?
I will not tattoo anyone below the age of 17, and those who are 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with all the proper identification and paperwork.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your appointment, you may do so by contacting me at least 72 hours before the day of your scheduled appointment. With that notice, your deposit may be transferred to a second preferred date. Deposits may only be shifted once in this way—if you need to reschedule more than once, you must leave a second deposit.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Whenever you get home, remove your bandage and immediately wash your tattoo thoroughly with hot water and antibacterial soap. Repeat the washing process until the tattoo no longer feels slimy. Once the tattoo is cleaned in this way, pat dry with a clean towel. Clean your tattoo once per day. Protect your tattoo from dirt, sand, or other irritatants or infectants by wearing loose clothing over it. Do not re-wrap your tattoo. Do not submerge your tattoo in chlorinated water or natural streams, lakes, rivers, etc. for four to six weeks after you get your tattoo. Apply small amounts of non-scented lotion, such as Curél, as needed. Just relax, keep your tattoo clean, and use a little lotion when it gets too dry and it will heal perfectly.
