Frequently Asked Questions
+ How do I book an appointment?
Thank you for considering me as your tattoo artist. Please complete the booking form in its entirety so I can process your request in the most efficient way.
+ How much do you charge?
My minimum/hourly rate is $300 and most tattoos are $600 - $1,500. The final price depends on a variety of factors, including design, placement, and size of the tattoo.
- Smaller does not always mean cheaper. Design, placement, and amount of detail are just a few of the reasons why a smaller tattoo can require more time, effort, and skills to do correctly.
- After receiving your email and learning more about what you are looking for in your tattoo, I will provide a price quote based on the parameters listed above.
+ Do I need to pay a deposit to book an appointment?
A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to book an appointment with me. The deposit is due at the time of scheduling, and will be applied towards the final cost of your tattoo. As soon as I receive your deposit, I will confirm the scheduled time and date of your appointment and begin the design process for your tattoo.
+ Do you take walk-ins?
I’m not currently accepting any walk-in appointments at this time. I like to take the time to properly communicate, plan, and design your tattoo with you to ensure it comes to life exactly how you want it to.
+ When will I see the drawing?
Drawings are done the morning of your appointment, so unfortunately they do not exist before then. When you arrive for your appointment, I will go through initial design concepts with you. If there's any details that need to be altered, there is time for us to do so during the appointment.
+ How should I prepare for my appointment?
The day before the appointment, I highly recommend avoiding alcohol, staying hydrated, and eating a good meal. When you arrive, make sure to bring your ID and wear comfortable clothes that allows me to access the area being tattooed! You can also bring snacks and water if you need.
+ What happens if I’m late to my appointment?
I value my clients and their busy schedules so I will arrive an hour before any appointment and prepare everything. This prevents you from having to wait for your appointment. I understand things happen but being late can affect other client appointments.
Clients are allowed a 20 minute grace period. If you arrive later than 20 minutes, it is considered as no show. The deposit will be forfeited and the appointment can’t be rescheduled. You are welcome to submit a new form when my books open again.
Please, EMAIL me (no DM) if you think you might be late; I’d rather know and will do my best to fit you and the rest of the appointments into the day.
+ What happens if I miss my appointment?
The deposit will be forfeited and the appointment can’t be rescheduled. You are welcome to submit a new form when my books open again.
+ Can I bring friends/family?
Our space is small, guests are not permitted for the duration of the session. They are welcome to stay with you for the first 15 minutes until the stencil is placed.
+ How accurate is the time estimation for my tattoo?
Please note that while the average time estimation given is usually correct, due to different factors your session may or may not end up being longer than the given estimation. While I try my best to finish within the said time frame, ultimately it is of the utmost importance for me to create your piece with time and patience, so having your understanding and flexibility is key. If you have any concerns about this before the time of your appointment, please feel free to let me know.
