Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! You're more than welcome to bring a guest to make you feel more comfortable.
-
I typically only book about 4 weeks in advance!
-
I don’t tattoo the inner fingers (top is okay) and feet (top upper part of the foot is okay - no sides or right underneath the ankle).
-
I do very minimal color work. Mostly color outline work, little blush, red hearts, brown freckles, etc. I don't do large shaded pieces in color. If you want color, please inform me in advance!
-
Pain varies from person to person so I can't say exactly that it does or does not hurt. There is definitely at least some minimal discomfort though
depending on placement, individual pain tolerance, etc. I do allow you to use numbing cream, but you must purchase your own and apply it prior to coming in for your appointment. I recommend doing a patch test for your numbing cream before your appointment. Please inform me if you will be or did use numbing cream. -
Please give me as close of an estimate as you possibly can. If you take a look at a ruler or tape measure it can be very helpful to determine and visualize size. Giving me an accurate estimate allows me to ensure enough time is allotted for tattooing and so I can give you an accurate quote as well, as sizing does affect pricing.
-
I do typically choose to show my clients the design before the appointment, however, due to the risk of clients canceling/rescheduling and the amount of tattoos I do and design each day - I usually don’t sketch the design until the evening before. Designs do not get sent any earlier than the evening prior to the appointment.
Changes can be made that evening and should ideally be at least 95% finalized that night. I do allow edits but if you ask me to completely redraw due to a change in overall concept, you add major elements not mentioned on your form, etc and as a result of those changes - if there might not be enough time for me to redraw or if the changes are significant enough that it requires more time for me to tattoo than you're originally booked for you may have to be rescheduled for another day and a new deposit will be required.
If your concept is small and simple though, your design may just be shown at the appointment. Adjustments can be made at the start of the appointment if need be.
If you’re concerned about the design, please just communicate with me and be super detailed on your form so that I can understand your vision and
create the best design possible for you. I usually am pretty good at nailing the design as long as I have enough information :)*I do NOT design tattoos unless you are a booked client of mine

Submit your inquiry form.
I’ll reach out via email with a quote for the tattoo(s) you inquired about.
If you’re okay with pricing, we’ll coordinate and find a time for your appointment.
Send in your deposit to secure the appointment, then you’ll be officially booked!
-
I rarely do. I specialize in fineline so most of the time my work is soft and thin to cover anything up. You are more than welcome to inquire though, I’ll take a look and determine if it’s something I can take on!
-
Sometimes I do! It’s on a case by case basis though but just inquire and I’ll see what I can do.
-
If you’re looking to book a matching tattoo, only one person needs to submit a form and I’ll coordinate booking with that one person!
-
If you’re looking to book a group appointment, I’d prefer everyone to separately submit a form so each person can describe their own tattoos to me. There will be a section on the form where you can list the names of who you’re wanting to book with and I’ll make the connection that way!
