FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET TATTOOED?

You must be 18 years of age or older to be tatttooed, whether or not you have parental consent. Please be ready to show a valid photo ID on the day of the appointment.

DO I HAVE TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT WHEN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

Yes, deposits are required in order to book an appointment. Deposits hold your appointment and are non-refundable, but they go towards the final cost of your appointment after your tattoo is finished.

WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?

I usually charge per piece and best way to get a rough estimate is to submit a booking form. Once the form is submitted, I will reach out to you via email with a quote and how long the appointment will be.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DO MY DESIGN?

Different factors are taken into consideration when time estimates are generated. These factors include the size/location of your design, how detailed it is, whether there is shading or full black, your pain tolerance, the possibility you will need breaks, and other factors. With this in mind, time estimates will differ from person to person. If you have a specific budget in mind or other concerns around the length of time, it is best to let me know in advance so I can accommodate your request.

WHAT ARE FLASH DESIGNS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Flash designs are pre-drawn designs that artists come up with on their own. They are usually first come first serve and are not repeatable. Changes aren’t usually accepted to these designs and there are minimum requirements in terms of sizing and location. I have a flash tab to the left, which you can access through requesting a password via email or Instagram DM.

CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?

Yes! Numbing cream is not provided at the studio, but you are welcome to use your own numbing creams before your appointment. Please keep in mind that everyone’s skin is different and could react differently to numbing creams. It’s hard to gauge how your skin will react until you try it, so please do your research on the creams you want to use and accept that it may affect your tattooing process and how long it takes to finish your tattoo.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

Deposits are non-refundable with the exception of rescheduling. You can reschedule your tattoo 72 hours before your appointment. If you reschedule your appointment with a late notice, you may have to pay another deposit in order to reschedule. Please be mindful of the time you have booked off from the artist’s schedule.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

Space is limited so please try and limit yourself to one guest when possible.

DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK?

Since masks are no longer mandated, it is purely up to you whether you want to wear a mask or not.

HOW CAN I PAY FOR MY TATTOO?

Debit card, credit card and cash are all accepted. Please keep in mind that we do not keep a float at the studio if you decide to use cash, keep that in mind.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY TATTOO TO HEAL?

Everyone’s skin is different, so healing times will vary as well! Generally, tattoos can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to heal, and even longer in some cases. Take good care of your new tattoo while it is healing and it could speed up the process. If you have any concerns with healing please don’t hesitate to email me.
