FAQ
What is the booking process?
Books are usually open for 2-3 months in advance (e.g. January- March) and they close when all slots have been filled. Both new and existing clients are welcome and I encourage you to sign up to my mailing list to be the first to get notified every time I open my books again.
Do you require a deposit/booking fee?
Yes. A deposit will be required in order to secure your appointment time and date. No appointments go on my calendar until deposit has been submitted. Deposits count towards the cost of your tattoo and are non-refundable.
What comes after getting my tattoo inquiry approved?
You will receive an email to arrange your appointment date and time, as well as instructions on how to submit your deposit. Keep in mind that I usually book about two months in advance (for example I'm currently booking for January-March 2026). If you would like to book for an earlier date I highly recommend checking out my tattoo studio’s website to book with a different artist! Our artists are very talented and work with a variety of skills and techniques!
What happens if I have to reschedule?
I completely understand when life happens, I have emergencies too! If you have to reschedule your appointment your deposit will roll over once so you won’t have to send a new one. However, if you have to reschedule a second time, you will be responsible to send a new deposit to book again.
What happens if I have to cancel my appointment?
A confirmation email will be sent to you 72 hours before your appointment and you have to confirm 48 hours before your set date. If no confirmation is received within 48 hours your appointment will be considered cancelled and you will lose your deposit. If you respond to the confirmation email but have to cancel, your deposit will be waiting for you for the next time you decide to book.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
Other than your government photo ID, you are more than welcome to bring anything that will make you feel comfortable during your session (headphones, a stuffed animal, a blanket). If we booked for a long session you can bring snacks and/or food (we have a fridge and a microwave at the studio that you are more than welcome to use!).
Can I bring a guest to my tattoo appointment?
Yes. One guest is allowed per client. Please don’t bring more people with you to the shop as it can be very distracting for me, for my co workers, and even for yourself. We will ask any additional people to wait outside or come back later once we’re done (there is an awesome brewery next door so your extra guests can go have lunch there!). The only exception to this is when we’re working on a group matching tattoo.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, ApplePay, or credit card.
Can I use numbing cream?
Numbing cream will give you 1-2 hours of relief from the pain of a tattoo. If you’d like to use it, I only recommend it for sessions that last 2+ hours. If you are planning on using it please let me know in advance as I only work with specific brands that I’ve tried on myself and that I’ve seen that work on my clients. Not every numbing cream is reputable and you always have to let your artist know prior to your appointment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting stained. If the tattoo is placed on the chest or back please bring either a button down shirt or a zipper hoodie. If the tattoo is on the hips or waist please bring clothing that will allow me easy access to the area without having to pull the garment to tattoo.
