Tattoo FAQ

  • Please note that I prioritize custom pieces that are done within my style, to get an idea of my style you can check out my portfolio.

    Once you have submitted a booking request form, been approved for an appointment and paid your deposit you will receive the design 2 days before your appointment. If you have questions, comments or concerns about the drawing you can let me know and we can make small changes. If there are substantial or multiple changes we may need to reschedule your appointment and forfeit your deposit as a drawing fee to account for the time that goes into designing and drawing tattoos. This is why it is very important to give detailed descriptions and reference photos when requesting your tattoo!

  • - Please ensure that you eat a meal and drink adequate water before your appointment. It is also a good idea to bring snacks and a water bottle for the session.

    - Please avoid drinking the day before your session.

    - Please avoid any advil, ibuprofen or naproxin the day of your appointment.

    - Please avoid tanning the area you will have tattooed in the 2 weeks leading up to the session.

    - Please wear comfortable, loose fitting dark clothes to your session that allows for easy access to the area being tattooed.

  • Tattoo times can vary from person to person depending on placement and design. I will estimate a time once I receive and approve your booking form and will send you a link to book in for that time span. But please note that tattoos are an art and not a science and sometimes the appointment can be longer or shorter than estimated so please ensure you leave adequate buffer time at the end of the session in case it runs over.

  • Touch ups are free for all body tattoos that I have done between 1 month and 1 year of being tattooed. If you require a touch up, please email me with a clear photo of the tattoo in natural lighting.

  • I am OK with clients using numbing cream, however I do request that they contact me to ask about it first.

    If someone is going to use numbing cream I want to make sure that they use it correctly and do a skin test beforehand to ensure that it works well and of course that they are not allergic.

    It is also important to note that numbing creams are only topical and so they will not fully eliminate pain and they will only last for a couple of hours before wearing off.
