I do all my own booking, you will be talking to me when chatting via email. When my books reopen I get a high volume of emails, I try my best to get to all of them within a few days. When my books are closed tho and I am no longer taking appointments for that season it may take a few weeks to hear from me. I don’t do a automatic response back it’s easier on my half to just respond directly back to you.

I would love if you could pay it as soon as possible, but if not I do a 3 day grace period.
• Why is my back piece or sleeve deposit higher?
When working on such a larger piece I will be booking you for more than 2 appointments at a time. This saves those spots, also shows me you are serious on starting and finishing this project. All deposits will be added to your last appointment.

The deposit pays for the design, goes towards the cost of the tattoo and holds your appointment time. It will be applied to the last session if we are working on a multi session tattoo.

If you cancel your appointment more than twice your deposit will not be put towards your tattoo but for my time on your missed appointments.
*If you show up 15 min late without reaching out, a new deposit must be paid to reschedule.
Extra Information
• Im running late, how much grace period will you give me?
15 minutes if you reach out, if your 10 min late with out reaching out via email/ig I’ll assume you’re a no call no show.
• Can I bring my kids?
No, the shop is not suited for anyone under 18, if you do bring a kid I will reschedule you without your deposit.
• I’m breastfeeding is that okay?
I will not tattoo any mother who’s breastfeeding, just me and how I was taught. Swelling is probably the worst part, it’s uncomfortable for you and me. Risk of an infection, the likelihood is very low but it’s still a risk. Ink is absorbed into the body vs pushing out~ while your breast feeding your breast tissue is extended into the armpit (lymph nodes) your lymph nodes are filtering the absorbed ink. I would highly suggest waiting till after breast feeding to get a tattoo.
• Do you allow numbing cream?
No, I do not allow numbing cream, if you come in already wearing it without reaching out I will cancel your appointment, with no deposit.
• Am I able to be tattooed if I’m on medication?
Depending on the medication, if you are on any steroids, blood thinners or certain medication please reach out to your doctor before scheduling. Even if your doctor gives you the okay-go please reach out to me before hand so I know/can advise you to come in or if we will need to reschedule.
• Can you tattoo over a sun burn or very dry skin?
Please come in with the healthiest skin you can. If you come in with a sunburn we have to reschedule you. Dry skin, just lotion well before your appointment.
