Frequently Asked Questions

Cost

Price per hour is $180. Smaller tattoos may be charged at a flat rate. The minimum charge is $100 for small tattoos. I take deposits of $100. Deposits are non-refundable and will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo session.

Seeing your design prior to your appointment

In most cases you will not have the opportunity to have your design sent to you prior to your appointment. Why is this? I take time to work on your design and will often still be perfecting it up until the moment you arrive to your appointment. I will always take all of your information onboard and ask any questions I need to ensure I know exactly what you are after. I also need your trust in believing I will take good care in creating a design that you are happy with.

On the day of your appointment, I will present you with the design. We will have time to chat about it and make any tweaks that you desire until you are 100% happy.

Consultations

I’m happy to do consultations at the studio or via FaceTime prior to booking your appointment.

Bringing a friend

Unfortunately, you will not be able to bring a friend along into your appointment with you, however, they are welcome to wait for you in our waiting room. If you are feeling anxious about getting tattooed, please reach out and I’m happy to work with you to find ways that can help you in feeling safe and calm.

Before getting tattooed

Make sure you’ve eaten prior to your appointment and drink plenty of water on the day. Remove any fake tanning products before your appointment and do not drink any alcohol within 12 hours of your booking.

Be prepared

On the day of your tattoo, wear loose comfortable clothing keeping in mind the location of your tattoo. There will need to be no clothing on the area that will be tattooed for hygiene reasons. Keep this in mind when wearing dresses, jeans, certain bras, etc. I will do everything possible to ensure you feel comfortable during your time getting tattooed and full nudity will never be required. I can provide you with a towel or sheet to cover you and create nipple covers for tattoos around the chest area.

Make sure you do not have any plans to go swimming or do heavy exercise within two weeks following your tattoo appointment. Submerging your fresh tattoo in water for extended periods of time or excessive sweat will affect the integrity of your tattoo. Please be on time to your appointment and bring ID.

Policy

I will not tattoo anyone who is under 18, pregnant or breast feeding, under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and have the right to reject any tattoo design that can be deemed offensive to certain groups. Hate speech will not be tolerated. I will not plagiarise another tattooist. If you are bringing me a reference of another tattoo, I can use it as inspiration to create unique tattoo for you, however, I will not do the exact same tattoo. This is out of respect for the original artist.

All bodies are accepted

Your body, emotions and identity will not be judged in my space. If you have any questions regarding things such as tattooing over scars or understanding my process please email or DM me on Instagram.

Creating a safe space

I try my best to ensure that my clients feel safe during their time in the studio. I also understand that getting tattooed can cause anxiety and stress so I try my best to communicate with all clients to discuss how they can feel as comfortable as possible. Please let me know if you have any needs that may help me provide a safer experience for you.
