Tattoo Policies
Deposits
I require a $100 deposit for appointments, paid at the time of scheduling. All deposits are non-refundable, but will be subtracted from the total cost of the tattoo.
Payments
I only accept payment in the form of cash or Venmo.
Deposits are paid through cash or Venmo.
Touch Ups
I offer one free touch up within a year of your appointment date.
Send me a clear photo of your healed tattoo.
Touch up’s required due to poor aftercare will carry a cost.
Aftercare
Remove the plastic wrap the following morning after your tattoo and immediately continue to steps 1-3 below.
1. Wash your hands and then wash your tattoo with mild, unscented soap under warm water.
2. Pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel and let air dry for a few minutes.
3. Apply a THIN layer of fragrance free lotion over the whole tattoo.
Repeat this process at least 3 times a day until healed. I recommend once in the morning, after you get home from work and before bed.
Avoid bumping, scratching, picking, wearing tight or irritating clothing and getting direct sunlight on your tattoo.
Do not re-wrap your tattoo, get it dirty with contaminants, soak it in a tub or pool, use scented soap or lotion, and do not let it dry out. If you do happen to get anything on your tattoo immediately wash it.
Tattoo Prep
Leading up to your appointment make sure to eat and drink water.
DO NOT COME TO YOU APPOINTMENT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!
At least a week leading up to your appointment keep the area to be tattooed well moisturized and take precautions to avoid injury and sunburn to the area.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the area being tattooed.
Bring anything you may need for your appointment: drink, snacks, headphones, book, blanket, etc.
I will not tattoo you if you are pregnant/nursing it is dangerous for you and the baby.
I will not tattoo you if you show up to your appointment with damage to the area to be tattooed and your deposit will be forfeited if you do not let me know ahead of time.
Reschedules
Your deposit will be retained if I am given a minimum of 72hrs notice from your appointment date. If a reschedule is needed within. 72hrs of your appointment your deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit will be required to book a new date.
I offer one reschedule per appointment. A new appointment/deposit will be required after that.
No shows or if you’re too late for your appointment (30min+) with no communication, your deposit and appointment will be forfeited.
I understand things happen so if you are unable to make your appointment please let me know ASAP and we can work out a solution.
​
Cancellations
Deposits are non-refundable so any and all cancellations will result in a deposit forfeit.
Design Info
I do not normally share my designs until the time of your appointment in the effort to protect my art until it becomes yours.
There will always be time at the beginning of your appointment to make any small changes you’d like! If a complete redesign is required you will need to book a new date at least a week past your original appointment date.
If you decide to change your mind on the subject of the tattoo, any previous estimates will be void and a new estimate will be made. Idea changes must be brought to my attention AT LEAST a week before your appointment in order to keep the date otherwise you may be asked to reschedule.
If your new idea is not something that I would have agreed to initially your deposit will be forfeited.
Communication is key; I am always open to discussing a mutual solution if given solid communication!
Sessions
If I believe your tattoo will require multiple sessions I recommend booking a full day for the first session and we will discuss any additional time required after your first session.
I will maintain my pricing for 6 months after your first session, after that you will be charged at my at the time current rate IF my rates have changed.
Pricing Info
I price most tattoos by piece based on my hourly rate but if I feel the tattoo is taking me longer than it should, that time won’t be reflected in the cost.
Pricing depends on size, detail, area of the body, etc. I am able to provide a rough estimate if I think the tattoo will take under 5hrs but that price is not set in stone depending on any unforeseen circumstances not caused by myself.
I do not charge the client for breaks,setup or any last minute design changes.

Hourly: $150/hr
