Please note all deposits are sent either via. email or text from “SQUARE”. These messages are sent from my POS system directly. From there, you should be able to open a simple paywall where you enter your credit card information. Deposits and final payments are a non-refundable payment used to confirm your appointment and begin work on your custom design.

Deposit PDFs are attached to all deposit invoices sent by me. When you pay your invoice, please note it acts as an acknowledgment of my business terms (such as no refund policy, cancellation terms, and fees).

Please note that deposit terms of service are subject to change and updates. Deposits serve as the first step into a business arrangement for both parties. The client (payer) displays seriousness regarding the project, and so does the Artist (payee) having now created a solidified business agreement with financial tender.

If you are suspicious of a message you have received regarding tattoo payment, message me please! I will not send you a deposit invoice without discussing with you ahead of time.

Consults are free of charge. I can offer remote consults or in-person. In-person consultations are usually reserved for first-time clients or for large pieces (such as beginning a sleeve). For a short and sweet tattoo, please text or call me to discuss your plan. I am more than happy to explain the process and develop ideas with you remotely any time! Please note, I block enough time before sessions to go over the stencil before we carry forward with the application process. Just to make sure everything is good to go!

Unfortunately not! Hopefully in the future. (I want to be a force to be reckoned with. Give me all the apprenticeship smoke.)

Cover-ups are indeed a service I offer. That said, please prepare yourself for the following reality: multiple, typically longer sessions. Cover-ups are different to getting a normal tattoo, so prepare accordingly.

If you suffer from Epilepsy, Eczema/inflammatory skin conditions, Diabetes, Lupus/Crohn's, etc... Please approach getting tattooed with caution. It is highly recommended that you consult with your general practitioner before coming in for an appointment. 

Note: Sores, scabs, and other open wounds (ex: caused by conditions such as Psoriasis and Eczema) cannot be tattooed over until they are treated, healed, and fully resolved by a medical practitioner. 

Please stay home and prioritize recovery. Tattoos temporarily wear down the immune system (meaning it will make it harder to recover from both the tattoo and your cold). In addition, limiting the spread of sicknesses makes such a difference. Getting sick as a tattoo artist deeply impacts our livelihood.

(Please message me and let me know your situation and we can handle it accordingly.)

I politely ask parents to avoid bringing their children with them to tattoo sessions. Tattoos take time, focus, and sometimes silence. (That would bore me to tears if I were still a child!) Overall, it is not an environment suitable for children.

Tattoo shops are NOT a place for dogs, cats, or other dander-bearing mammals. Please, do not bring your pet.

No, it is not recommended to numb ahead of time. This can cause skin abnormalities, burn the skin/trigger allergic reactions, and more. I carry lidocaine 4% for numbing during the session. Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, I can!

However, I only draw designs for tattoos when a deposit is fulfilled and a date is booked. Deposits allow me to work on client tattoo designs. Without a deposit, I cannot work on any artwork for your session.

No, I do not accept CashApp, Zelle, ApplePay, or other online payment methods for payment. All transactions are ran through my POS system. I accept Credit/Debit, processing fees apply.

There are multiple options I propose: I can offer AfterPay on tattoos. I am willing to break tattoos into affordable, smaller sessions. Or, save up the amount needed for your desired project.

For AfterPay: Please note that you will still need to have enough capital for deposit AND first payment to get started. All credit card transactions are subject to a 3.71% processing fee + 1¢. f you decide to finance your tattoo, you'll tack on an additional 6-7% processing fee. You will then have four payments and a six week deadline.

A common misconception is that simple tattoos cost less. But they require just as much coordination and patience to pull off as a complex tattoo. So if you want a complicated piece, don’t simplify it simply because it seems like it would bring the price down. Remember: Get what you want. Save up for the ideal design if that is what’s necessary. Designing and collecting your ideal tattoos will be much more satisfactory in the long run than opting for the cheapest alternative. "The sting of regret lasts much longer than the appeal of a bargain." This is a permanent body decoration.

Research, communicate, and take your time.

1. Research, research, research! (Just don’t get too lost in tattoo jargon, as easy as it is.) Familiarize yourself with the different styles, disciplines, and words. Research the tattoo subjecture you’re interested in! That way, you can determine which artist, style, and subject is best suited for your final tattoo. (Please note how, in my portfolio, I have left keywords associated with each design. So that way, if they are interested in a particular style I operate with, they can pinpoint it.) 

2. The next step is communication. Relay to the artist what you are interested in. Discuss with your artist and answer any questions they may have. When the day comes for your tattoo, you can rest assured knowing that the plan is underway. (Personally, I ask a lot of questions as part of my operation as an artist. Please bear with me, I promise it’s for a reason!)

3. Last but not least… Take your time! (Not to sound like your parents or anything, but tattoos are indeed permanent.) Even if you say, “Well, I can get a cover-up or get it lasered if I end up not liking it,” the goal of tattoos is to nail it the first time around. Thank goodness the technology is there, but that should be a last resort. (Pro-tip: Avoid joke tattoos, impulsivity, and getting tattoos when it is not a financial reality. Joke tattoos aren’t as funny years down the line. Impulsive tattoos could hinder future work on a part of your body. If you are concerned about the financial reality of getting the tattoo you want, consider this: It’s better to prepare and get precisely what you envisioned… than pay a second time and get somewhat close.) Overall, exercise diligence on behalf of your future self.
