FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DAYS AND TIMES DO YOU WORK?
-I work Tuesday - Friday 10am-5pm. I start tattooing at 10am and leave at 5pm. Please be prepared if your tattoo is larger and will take time that your appointment will be booked earlier. Smaller tattoos can be done closer to 5pm.
HOW DO I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT?
-Under the TATTOO INFO tab, click on the TATTOO REQUEST FORM. Complete the full form and submit it. Keep in mind due to high volume of inquiries I cant take on all tattoo requests. This is not first come first served. If your submission is accepted I will contact you within two weeks of your submission. If I didnt respond back to you that could be because Ive already reached my limit of submissions or I dont feel Im best fit for your tattoo. Before booking please read through the Booking Policy page. This can be found under the Tattoo Info tab.

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
Yes. I require and $80 non refundable deposit once we set up a time for your tattoo appointment. This can be paid through either Cashapp or Venmo. The deposit does not go towards the cost of the tattoo. The deposit works as a place holder for your appointment and also is compensation for time spent on the drawing. This deposit can be moved to a different appointment time need be, with 1 weeks notice. If you need to cancel or reschedule within 1 week of your appointment I will require another deposit before rescheduling.

-For larger pieces, yes. I will have a design for you to look at prior to your appointment. Drawings will be available the night before your appointment.

-Floral, pieces dark in imagery, anything macabre, witchy or scary, animals and insects, faces (especially ones without pupils)…there’s a lot.
ARE THERE THINGS YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN TATTOOING?
-Yes. Of course I wont tattoo anything hateful or offensive. My interest in certain imagery as a tattooer changes a lot. I now focus on pieces I feel will help me grow and excite me as an artist. Things I am not interested tattooing are tattoos with color, realism, script, logos, pre-drawn designs (I do all custom work), thin line or single line tattoos, patriotic or religious tattoos..
DO YOU DO COVERUPS?
-I do not.
WILL YOU TATTOO ME IF I AM PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING?

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I CAN DO TO PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
-Get a good nights rest, stay hydrated, eat before your appointment (very important!), start moisturizing days prior to the appointment if you have dry skin. Lastly have your aftercare supplies ready. This includes antibacterial soap (ex. Dial pump soap) and a water based non scented lotion (ex. Lubriderm, Cetaphil).
WHAT ARE SOME THINGS TO AVOID PRIOR TO YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT?
-Things to avoid would include drinking alcohol the night before, too much caffeine the morning of, getting any sun damage days before and be careful not to get any cuts or scrapes on the area we are tattooing.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?
-ID, snack, phone charger, headphones and possibly a blanket or extra clothing if you are prone to getting cold.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
-The cozier the better, also helps if it something you don’t mind potentially getting ink on. Make sure what you do choose to wear allows me to completely access the area we are tattooing without any sort of covering of the area we are tattooing( it can cover but it needs to be able to be lifted need be). The most important thing is that you are comfortable, at no point will you ever be exposed. Depending on where you are getting your tattoo done there are many ways to work clothing around the area so that not only are you covered but I also am able to do the tattoo. Depending on the area of the piece I will reach out to you to give you my recommendations on what would be best to wear to the appointment. Feel free to bring extra clothes, blankets or a towel to use as extra coverage if that makes you more comfortable. If you have any concerns or questions about this please feel free to reach out.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT COVID/ SICK POLICY?
-Contact me if you are experiencing Covid like symptoms or have been exposed to someone with Covid before our appointment ( this applies to any illness. Even if you interpret it as allergies, I would rather play it safe). I will definitely appreciate you letting me know and we can work on rescheduling you.
Due to working in a small area and for the safety of other, I am currently not allowing anyone other than the person getting tattooed to be there. That being said I want to make sure everyone is as comfortable as they can be so if you feel you need a buddy please let me know ahead of time.
