Preparing for your session

Drink lots of water the day before & the day of your session 💧 

Avoid alcohol the day before and day if your session! 🍾 

Eat a hearty meal 1-3 hours before your appointment 🍜 Bring snacks! 🍫 

Bring your earbuds if you want to scroll TikTok or watch TV on your phone or tablet during your appointment 🎧 

Make sure you are prepared with your payment. 💵 I strongly prefer cash 💵 

Ensure you are not under the influence of drugs/alcohol when you come to get tattooed 👎 

Please arrive on time! I often have multiple appointments so when folks show up too early or too late, it can impact the shop flow 🍃

Rest a LOT after your tattoo & drink water! Wound healing time ⏰

Booking!

Thanks for being interested in booking with me! To book a custom or a flash design, please fill out this contact form or email me to get the conversation started! We will chat about design ideas, placement, & schedule the actual tattoo appointment over email or DM. If your piece is very large, I love a quick consult, either in-person or virtually! Virtual consults can be done using Instagram video call or Google Hangouts.

For customs, please be prepared to send me reference photos of design subject matter & of tattoos you like. If your design is large, we may need a brief in-person visit to take measurements.

I am happy to make light customizations for flash designs! :)

Deposits

Deposits create accountability for both you & me! They help make sure you get the tattoo that you want & they protect me from losing potential income when I reserve tattoo time for a client - we love that! Yee-haw! 🤠

Your deposit amount will depend on the type of appointment you want to book. Deposits are nonrefundable & reserve your spot in my books. 📚

Paid deposits go toward the final cost of your tattoo!

Deposits & Scheduling

Let’s get down to business! One reschedule is allowed per deposit, as long as the reschedule request is sent MORE than 48 hours before your appointment. Additional reschedule requests beyond the included 1 will incur a $50 reschedule fee & this fee does not go toward the final cost of the tattoo.

If you cancel within 48 hours before our appointment, your deposit is forfeited. This is due to the difficulty in filling last-minute spots. Please pay another deposit in order to move forward with getting tattooed!

For custom designs, there is an additional $50 drawing fee (depending on the size and scope of the design) that does not go toward the final cost of the tattoo and covers 2 drafts of your custom design.

More on custom designs

I love customs, my dudes. If you’ve booked a custom with me, I will send your drawing to you between 1-3 days before your appointment. Once I send it to you, I conduct one round of edits. This means you get 2 drafts of your design included in your drawing cost. However, if you’d like more edits beyond the initial 2 drafts, depending on the scope of your desired edits, you may need to pay another drawing fee.

As a heads-up, I do not do last-minute major edits (day-of or night-before). If you request major adjustments, we may need to reschedule. I want to make sure there is plenty of time to make your design as nice as possible. It’s gonna be on you forever, after all! Thanks for understanding 🤗

Tattoo Pricing

All tattoos—flash or custom—are now bookable using flat-rate appointment types. I offer the following appointment types:

• ⅓ day appointments // 1-3 hours // for small/medium tattoos

•  ½ day appointments // 3-5 hours // for medium tattoos or continuing project sessions

• Full day appointments // 5+ hours // for large tattoos or full-day project sessions

  Why flat-rate appointments and pricing?

• You know exactly how much to save for your appointment, rather than an estimated range.

• You can get multiple small pieces from me in the shorter flat rate session - more bang for your buck

• We both get freedom from weird money conversations and can move forward on the same page.

If you’re interested in getting a time & price for a design, go ahead and email me or DM me on Instagram and I’ll send one over!

Touch-ups

Wonky tattoo healing can happen for a variety of reasons. I am happy to do minor touch-ups at no charge within 6 months from your appointment date, but no sooner than 6 weeks from your appointment date!

If the piece is very large or has obvious damage (e.g., intense sun exposure), the touch-up session will be my regular hourly rate.

Any touch-ups after 6 months will be at my regular hourly rate. There are no reschedules for free touch-ups. No-calls/no-shows for initial touch ups will forfeit the free touch-up and will pay my regular hourly rate. 💚🌸

There are no free touch-ups for hand, finger, or feet tattoos. ⭐️

Communicating!

I prioritize being kind & welcoming to my clients. I want to make sure that you feel safe in the tattoo shop - maybe you’ll even have a good time! I deeply value kindness and fun - let’s both be nice to each other. 💗

🗣 During the session, if you’d like to chat, I’m down! If you wanna dissociate & watch your fav show with your earbuds in, I’m down for that, too! I’m also down to tattoo in silence with you. 🦋I want you to be comfortable. 🐳

You gotta cancel? That okay! Things happen, I get it. Things happen in my life, too. Please just let me know - even if it’s just a consultation. I’m always grateful when people notify me. 🌺

Tattoo magic

It’s all just really cool 🌍 

In the end, tattoos are fun & special ways to express ourselves. 🎊🌈

At the same time, I take it very seriously that you carry your tattoo with you until you die. ☠️ 

I hold that the tattooing experience is a special and sacred energy exchange. I’m honored to be alongside you on your self-expression journey.

I hope that you & I can collaborate to make something that feels good & authentic for you 🎨🌹

And I hope that you can enjoy the experience. 💗 thank you for considering getting tattooed by me - it is a true honor.
