FAQs & Policy

18 years or older with a valid drivers license or passport. Make sure you have your license or passport with you when you arrive to your appointment. I cannot tattoo you without it even if I’ve tattooed you before. 

No. You must be 18 years or older. 

Deposits are $300 and this will secure your appointment time and date. The deposit will come off of the price once you get the tattoo done. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. *Due upon receipt. *I do not hold appointment slots without a deposit.

I charge $300/hr. All appointments require a $300 non-refundable deposit to secure your date. My hourly starts as soon as you get to the appointment and ends as soon as we are finished. *My previous hourly and deposit rate still stands for the clients booked in Jan-March.

You have 48 hours prior to your appointment to reschedule in order to keep your deposit toward the rescheduled time. Any no shows, reschedules or cancelation after that 48- hour window will forfeit the deposit. In this case, you must put down a new deposit to reschedule. Only one reschedule allowed. Any reschedules after that will require a new deposit. *Make sure you confirm the week prior to your appointment through the confirmation email. If I don't get a confirmation by your 48 hour mark, your appointment will automatically be canceled.

My hourly rate starts as soon as your scheduled appointment time starts. If you are running late, you are still paying for the time you are not there. If you are 15 minutes late or later to your appointment with no notice, your appointment will automatically be canceled and your deposit will be forfeited. If you are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment, your appointment will automatically be canceled and your deposit will be forfeited.

You will see your design the same day of the appointment. We will go over the design as soon as you come into the appointment and we can make any minor changes or embellishments to the design, if needed. 

Make sure you don't plan your tattoo appointment around any trips to the beach or water activities. Avoid sun exposure or sunburns prior to your appointment. I cannot tattoo over sunburns. The night before, exfoliate with a sugar or salt scrub in the area we are working on and shave the area after you’ve rinsed the sugar scrub off. This will take off all of the dead skin and hair to prepare your skin for the tattoo process. Get good sleep! Morning of your appointment, eat a healthy breakfast and drink lots of water. Make sure you bring your Valid Drivers license or Passport. I don’t accept anything else for identification. For payment, I take VISA, Mastercard, Discover, Amex, cash or ApplyPay. Masks are not required unless specified. No plus ones at this time unless there is a specific medical need. Please talk to me beforehand if there is a specific reason you'd need to bring someone with you.

I will share the aftercare with you at the appointment. *A few helpful tips to remember: make sure your hands are clean when you touch your tattoo and to wash your hands after you touch your tattoo. Do not scratch or pick your tattoo. Avoid excessive sweating or going to the gym for at least a week or two depending on how fast the tattoo is healing (have good judgment). No swimming or soaking your tattoo for 2 weeks. No sun exposure for 2 weeks to a month (listen to your body). After 2 weeks you can start sunscreen. 

No, touchups are not free unless I say otherwise. 

No, I don’t work on other artists tattoos nor do I touchup other artists work. I also don't add to other artists tattoos.

I will sometimes coverup small tattoos & ones that have been lighten with laser treatment. As you inquire on the contact page, make sure you communicate you want a coverup & attach a photo of the tattoo you want covered. 

Sometimes. It depends on the condition of the scar and if I think it’s doable. I’d have to see it in person. 

As of right now, no. Although, I will finish color pieces I started in the past, but I won’t start any new ones at this moment. 

No. It's good to take precaution in case of an infection.

No, please don’t apply numbing cream and then come into your appointment. I will have you reschedule if you do and it will forfeit your deposit. You must  leave a new deposit if this is the case.
