How To Book and About Deposits
There are multiple ways to book with me! Don't be afraid to reach out in whatever way is most convenient for you.
I offer free consultations for custom work. These appointments are typically 10-30 minutes. At this time we will discuss your budget, agree on price, number of sessions and overall design. I have a 10 minute late policy for these appointments, so please be on time. If you are more than ten minutes late, you will need to reschedule.
You can book or inquire about a tattoo idea by sending me an email, a DM on Instagram, sending a text to my number, or by clicking my booking link to be sent to a direct forum.
If you wish to book by sending me a message, please describe the tattoo idea, whether you wish for color or black and grey, and a general sizing and placement idea for where you would like it. I tend to charge by half-day or full-day rate, so the better idea I have of what you're looking for the better I can give you a pricing and time estimate.
A deposit of at least $100 is required to book with me so that day and time slot will be reserved for you. The deposit goes towards your final pricing of the tattoo, so you can put down more if you would like to take care of some of the final tattoo price in advance!
There is also the option to carry the deposit over to booking another appointment rather than towards the final tattoo, and it can continue to be carried on for as many bookings as you'd like. It is possible to lose your deposit however by cancelling/rescheduling an appointment more than once time, which is further described in the section below.
IMPORTANT: I do not send custom designs or previews before appointments! We will review your design at your first scheduled appointment and make any minor changes or adjustments if needed. Any major changes may require a reschedule to allow time to rework the design.
Reschedule and Cancellation Policy
I require a notice of at least 48 hours (by email) for any rescheduling or cancellations. If you do not notify me within this time, you will lose your deposit and another deposit will be required to rebook your appointment. I only allow one "free" reschedule for each project. Any additional reschedules will require another deposit to rebook.
If you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment, please let me know as soon as possible so I can fill the initial time slot with a different client, and reserve your new time slot as soon as we've decided on an updated date.
Things happen! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you know you cannot make your appointment that day! I'd much rather work with you on finding a day and time that's best for both of us then abandoning a project completely.
Tattoo After-Care
Dermashield: Leave dermashield on for a total of five days.
Remove it in the shower under warm water, pulling straight down or straight up to remove, avoid trying to rip off like a bandage.
The skin around and over the tattoo will gradually peel, use unscented, un-artificially colored moisturizer multiple times daily during healing, wash tattoo site twice daily with unscented soap and water.
If the derrmashield does not stay on for the full 5 days, or if you take it off sooner and the scabbing is not fully healed, proceed to standard aftercare directions.
Standard: Remove wrapping after 1-2 hours.
Wash the tattoo using clean, bare hands and unscented, mild-bacterial soap. Do not scrub with washcloth for at least two weeks. Pat dry with paper towel or let air dry. Wash site this way 1-2 times daily during healing process.
Moisturize tattoo site with unscented, uncolored moisturizer (no shea butters or coconut oils) twice daily during healing process, avoid over-saturation.
Protective layer will prom over the skin, skin may flake or scab depending on moisturizer usage, this is normal and you should NOT pick or peel the scabs and/or flakes.
