Basic Policies
I have a 100$ day of minimum, regardless of drawing fee status. The 63$ drawing fee is for the time I spend preparing for your tattoo & does not come off the total price unless appropriate or previously discussed, i.e long term projects or flash pieces. Each appointment requires a separate drawing fee, any that are duplicated by me are non transferable & a curtesy. The current hourly rate is 180$ an hour & this rate is set by the shop; To me the hourly rate is used as a guideline for pricing to keep it fair for all parties involved. I do not show art prior to appointments, it is on you to accurately describe what you want to get tattooed, needing to reschedule due to poor communication will result in a rescheduling & potentially needing a new drawing fee. These policies are also listed on the booking form.
Torso, hands, and necks start at 150$ regardless of the tattoo.
Before you arrive for your appointment please remember to bring some form of government issued photo identification for your paperwork. Unfortunately we can not make copies of military IDs so please make sure to have an alternate form of identification. Please understand if we are not be able to do your paperwork you will need to reschedule and put down a new deposit.
I am requiring all clients to wear face masks if you show ANY sign of illness to protect myself, my family, my coworkers, and my future clients. If this is unacceptable please refrain from booking as ALL drawing fees are nonrefundable, unless extreme circumstances occur.
Please wear comfortable and appropriate clothing for the area to be tattooed. If we cannot comfortably reach the space to be tattooed you will need to reschedule and you will be responsible for a new drawing fee. I do currently keep pasties in stock, if you want to get a sternum tattoo or another similar placement, please bring whatever covering your feel will make you comfortable while not impeding your tattoo :^)
I am just one person so please allow for up to 15 business days for a response; I generally respond to clients as their appointments come up and inquiries take a back seat. If you know what you want & how much you want to spend feel free to book your appointment without sending an inquiry to streamline your booking process!
Once you arrive I will show you the design so we can make any needed changes and size up your piece; after this you will do your paperwork. While you’re doing your paperwork I will make the stencil and set up for our session!
After the disposable set up is complete we will go to my work space where the skin will be cleaned, the stencil applied, and then the placement is checked in a mirror or with a photo. When the stencil is in the perfect spot we allow it to dry for 3-5 minutes. I will almost assuredly be chugging coffee while your stencil is drying so you’ll have a few moments to relax and get comfortable.
While the tattoo is being done I am generally prettyyyyy quiet so feel free to bring head phones or a book! I am always open to listening to my clients, of course, so if you have any thing you are dying to share please feel free!
If at any point during your tattoo you need a break or want to stop all you have to do is tell me! I genuinely do not care if we don’t get the entire tattoo done in one sitting—as long as we can get to a good stopping point we can always get back to it once it heals up!
After we finish our sitting I will wrap your tattoo and provide verbal and written aftercare instructions. My general aftercare recommendations can also be found here under the ‘Aftercare recommendations’ page.
While you hang out I will quickly clean up after our session and then come check you out at the register. All card transactions will have a processing fee added to the total, cash is encouraged but card is gladly accepted.
If you have any other questions or concerns during our time together I always encourage my clients to vocalize so we can have the optimal experience together :^)
Shit to bring
Valid identification
Drivers license or a current passport with a photo! We can not do your tattoo without paperwork being done!
Water
You are obviously free to bring any nonalcoholic drink you like but water is highly suggested.
Easy to eat snack(s)
I always suggest a small snack be on hand! Sometimes you might need a small ‘pick me up’ during longer sittings. Fruit, candies, or jerkies make great bring alongs.
Money
I currently accept cash and pretty much all major credit cards! Cash is preferred but card is definitely accepted :^)
Policies Continued
All appointments require three days advance notice to reschedule in order to maintain a drawing fee on file. If less than three days notice is given your drawing fee will be forfeited and you will need to put down another one in order to rebook. If you are a client that has no call- no showed I will not reschedule you unless there is communication that has established otherwise. If you are more than 10 minutes late to your appointment, it is likely that you will need to be rescheduled and that your drawing fee will also be forfeited. If the design prepared is not accurately described by the client in prior communication and requires a complete redraw, you will likely need a new drawing fee and to be rescheduled. Communication is key. I am willing to be flexible with my clients however, all drawing fees are nonrefundable and do not guarantee you will be getting tattooed. I reserve the right to refuse service to clients that are hostile, intoxicated, or otherwise not compatible for a work relationship. All tattoos must be paid for upfront at the time of service, without question. If any of these policies offend you please refrain from booking an appointment with me.
