FAQs
When will I see my design?
I do my best to pay close attention to my clients’ wishes and include all the details provided in their requests while achieving the best possible design. I will not have a final design to show you until the time of your appointment, and in some cases I will need your input to finalize the design.
I do not send out designs in advance. This process is what works best for my creative process and my time management. It requires trust in my abilities and knowing that what you will get is going to be consistent with what you’ve seen in my portfolio, and hopefully the reason you chose me to create your project!
What should I bring?
Whatever makes you comfy! Headphones, iPad, comfy clothes and warm socks are good ideas for longer sessions. We do have snacks and water available but you’re welcome to bring your favorite refreshments as well. Keep in mind your clothes may become stained with ink, so black or clothes you don’t mind getting stained is ideal.
What aftercare products do you recommend?
Fragrance-free, liquid antibacterial soap such as Dial, or plain castille soap. For moisturizing, a very light layer of fragrance-free lotion such as Lubriderm, or a small amount of coconut oil if you are not allergic. I will provide a small packet of After Inked aftercare lotion and instructions at the end of the session.
Can I bring a friend?
I prefer my clients to come alone to their appointment for long sessions, as I find that my focus and connection with the person getting tattooed is best that way. However if a friend is needed for moral support I am not against it, please just ask! Minors however, are not allowed in tattoo studios.
What if I need to reschedule?
Barring emergencies, I require at least 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule your appointment. You can reschedule once for free, any further reschedules will incur a $100 fee taken off the deposit. However if you would like to move your appointment to a sooner date and I have availability that is always fine with me! A no call/no show, or rescheduling last minute (less than 48 hrs) requires a new deposit to reschedule. Emergencies or any health related reasons are exempt.
Do you prefer cash or card?
I accept cash, debit or credit cards, and Venmo.
