Question 8

What days/times do you tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Appointments usually start at 11am and go for as long as we are both able to sit (around 5 hours tattooing max). Depending on the stencil process it could take some time to prep for the session, so if it's a stencil day I recommend not planning anything pressing after as the end time is uncertain!

Question 9

How much is the deposit?

Accepted Answer

To solidify your appointment a $222 deposit is required.
Your deposit will come off of the total cost of your tattoo on your final session.

Question 10

Is my deposit refundable?

Accepted Answer

No, your deposit is non-refundable. A non-refundable deposit must be put down in order to book your appointment. When you book an appointment, a select number of hours is reserved just for you. If you choose to cancel, no-show, or let us know less than 48 hours prior to your appointment, your deposit is forfeited. You will have to put down another if you choose to book again.

Question 11

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You have 48 hours prior to your appointment to move your spot to a later date to keep your deposit valid.
If you choose to completely cancel, your deposit is non-refundable.
If you tell us less than 48 hours prior to your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to put down another deposit if you want to re-book.
 
This means that if you place a $222 deposit, but decide to cancel too close to your appointment date, your entire $222 will be forfeited, and you will have to place another $222. Your tattoo would then only count towards that single deposit amount-- not both.

Question 12

What happens if I no-show / miss my appointment?

Accepted Answer

We are not responsible for you forgetting about an appointment. You have 48 hours prior to your appointment to move your spot to a later date to keep your deposit valid.
If you no-show or miss your appointment without the 48 hour notice, your deposit is non-refundable.
If you tell us less than 48 hours prior to your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to put down another deposit if you want to re-book.
 
This means that if you place a $315 deposit, but decide to cancel too close to your appointment date your entire $315 will be forfeited and you will have to place another $315. Your tattoo would then only count towards that single deposit amount-- not both.

Question 13

Can I see my drawing before my appointment/before I send a deposit?

Accepted Answer

No drawing/appointment will be booked without a deposit.

I will have a concept drawn up for you when you come in for your tattoo- over the past 10 years of learning my process I have come to the consensus that my most productive/creative time for drawing tattoos is a combo of drawing the night before, sleeping on the design, and completing it the morning of the appointment. It is then that we can change things around if we need to as it is WAY easier to do it then instead of back and forth through emails. I have you booked in all day so there will be no pressure for us to sit down with the drawing until it is PERFECT for you. And then, we will begin!

Question 14

If I bring in a photo of a tattoo I found on the internet, can I get the exact same one tattooed?

Accepted Answer

While other tattoos and artwork can be used as reference ALL of my tattoos are custom drawn for you!

Question 15

Do you tattoo hands, feet, and/or fingers?

Accepted Answer

I will not tattoo fingers but will consider hand/feet pieces depending on the individuals situation.

Question 16

Do you tattoo cover-ups?

Accepted Answer

It completely depends on what you are wanting to cover. Most of the time my style does not work as a cover up, but a consultation would be necessary to see!

Question 17

Will you continue work on another artist's piece?

Accepted Answer

I do not touch any existing work that was done by another artist.

Question 18

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

18 years old.
No exceptions; not even with parental consent.
