FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do You Sell Aftercare Products?
Yes! Not to toot my own horn too much but it is the best.
My natural tattoo aftercare line is available to purchase in the studio, in tin or stick form. Check my social media for more information. I can also ship some right to you - just send me a message.
I can't make my appointment! Help!
You must give at least 24 hours notice if you can no longer make your appointment. Your deposit is non-refundable, and If you no call- no show , an additional $50 deposit will be required to rebook.
What are your payment schedules?
I accept Cash and E-Transfer.
A $50 deposit is due before your appointment. The remaining cost of the tattoo is due the day of your appointment, unless an otherwise pre-agreed schedule designed around your tattoo has been made.
Do you tattoo minors?
I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.
I may require you to show your ID during your initial consultation and/or when you arrive for your appointment. Please bring it with you.
Does it hurt?
The general and honest answer would be yes. However, how much pain depends on your personal pain tolerance. Expect a sting. If it's your first tattoo, maybe get a smaller one to start.
Numbing cream isn't a bad thing, but it usually wears off quicker than your tattoo will take, so I don't often recommend it.
Do you charge for drawing time?
Tattoos are provided at a flat rate.
Additional drawing time may be necessary depending on quality of reference submitted, or number of revisions requested.
How much is appropriate to tip?
Best practice is 15% of the total amount, just as though you would tip your hairdresser or bartender. Although giving your artist a tip is not required, it is something that most artists appreciate, and it let's us know you're happy with the work . In the end it's up to you, and not everyone has the means, so be kind and tip appropriately if you can.
Do you do Cover-Ups?
I have done many successful cover-ups for folks in the past. Whether or not I can cover up your tattoo is a special circumstance, so I will have to see it beforehand. I do love a challenge.
Do you make home visits?
I do not tattoo in people's homes. All tattoo work is done at my sanitized, professional studio.
Can I take a little something before my appointment?
No. And there are a few reasons for this:
1). If I cannot be sure you are in a consensual state of mind during this appointment then I will not be tattooing you.
2). Alcohol can cause you to bleed more during your session, be more painful, or make the tattoo not heal properly.
3). Cannabis does not help with the pain. It can actually make it hurt more. If you are worried about the pain, you can take Tylenol. No aspirin, or ibuprofen.
Do not consume alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Do not smoke cannabis before or during your tattoo.
If you are obviously high or intoxicated, or I suspect you are high or intoxicated you will be asked to leave the studio, and your deposit will be forfeited.
