Frequently Asked Questions

All tattoos begin at a base rate of $100. Any tattoo session that is longer than 30 minutes is $150 at minimum. 

My deposit cost ranges from $80 to $200 depending on the design and size. You can also pay more, if you prefer!  Deposits are a non-refundable guarantee for your appointment. It is subtracted from the  total cost of your tattoo after your final appointment. A deposit form will be required to sign, which highlights client and artist expectations.

Cavicide, disposables, and PPE are the most important facet to tattooing. Hygiene and maintaining your health is CRUCIAL to the tattooing process. I am BBP certified and use products that are recognized by healthcare professionals.

While children are adorable, they can be curious about the world around them and that involves a lot of touching things. Sanitation is my number one priority. The safety of your child is important to me as well. Tattoo spaces have sharps containers that contain biohazardous waste and materials. Please do not bring your children to your appointment, unfortunately, you will lose your deposit and be asked politely to reschedule. Please allow 72 hours to provide notice should you need to reschedule.  For consultations, it is generally okay with me that you have your kiddo with you. During tattoo time, it is a strict no.

1. Drink plenty of water, and DO NOT consume alcohol at least 24-48 hours before your appointment. 

2. Moisturize the area that is going to be tattooed (this isn't necessary, but helpful).

3. Please shower the morning of or night before.

4. Eat a proper meal beforehand (I recommend carbs and proteins).
5. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages, I have some provided for you as well if needed.
6. Please dress appropriately - I'm happy to answer any questions you have! (For example, if you're getting your legs tattooed, bring a pair of shorts. Or if your chest, bring a tank top, etc.)

For cover ups, sometimes you will need laser removal before an appointment.

As for behavior, I will not tattoo if you show up intoxicated or seem to be under the influence of drugs. If you refuse to sign consent or agreement forms this is grounds for termination of the appointment. Repetitive cancellations, consistently running later than 15 minutes, and general disrespect of time are also reasons to absolve deposit and not continue with any work. Any kind of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse is automatic refusal of services. Aggressive communication and racism is also grounds for termination of the appointment and refusal of any and all future services.
