Everything You Need to Know Before Booking With Us

Do you take walk-ins?

No, I work by appointment only. This way, I can give each tattoo the time and care it deserves. If you would like to book, please contact me to schedule a session.

What is your deposit policy

To book an appointment, a minimum deposit of $100 is required, which secures your session and contributes towards the final price. For larger tattoos, a higher deposit may be necessary. This deposit covers design creation, consultation, and your appointment slot. Please note that deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable.

What is your rescheduling/cancellation policy

I require at least 72 hours notice to reschedule and transfer your deposit to a new date. Without this notice, your deposit will be forfeited to cover preparation time and the lost appointment slot.

  • Your deposit can be transferred up to two times with proper notice.
  • After two reschedules, your deposit is forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to book again.
  • If you arrive more than 15 minutes late without contacting me, it will be considered a no-show, and your deposit and appointment will be lost.

What are your rates?

Our studio has a minimum charge of $250 plus applicable taxes. Tattoo prices vary depending on the design's size, complexity, and placement on the body.

How old do I have to be to get tattooed?

You must be at least 18 years old to receive a tattoo at our studio.

How do I book an appointment?

To begin, please fill out the tattoo request form. I will reply with a quote, available booking times, and any details I may need from you. If for some reason I cannot take on your request, I will let you know as soon as possible.

How do I schedule a consultation?

All bookings start with the tattoo request form. After reviewing your form, I will let you know if an in-person consultation is needed. Consultations are generally reserved for larger or more complex tattoos. For smaller, straightforward pieces, we can usually move straight to booking.

Can I bring my family and friends?

Due to the intimate nature of our private studio, we limit guests to one additional person for comfort and safety. If you and a friend both want tattoos, we can accommodate up to two clients simultaneously.

Do you offer touch-ups?

Yes. I offer one complimentary touch-up within three months of your appointment, as long as proper aftercare has been followed. Tattoos in high-wear areas such as hands, feet, and neck are not covered, since these areas naturally fade more quickly.

Do you offer scar cover-ups?

Scar cover-ups are something I offer, though each scar is different and may present unique challenges. While I cannot guarantee that every scar can be worked with, I am happy to assess your individual case and advise you on the best possible options.

Are there any types of tattoos you will not do?

I do not take on tattoos that go against my values, such as hateful, offensive, or discriminatory imagery. I also avoid tattooing areas known for poor ink retention, like the sides of fingers and feet, to help ensure the quality and longevity of your tattoo. If your request is not a good fit, I will let you know and, when possible, suggest alternatives.
