Please read through carefully before booking your appointment:

• Deposit

  The deposit is $60 (+$5 for taxes and fees). After the appointment is booked you will receive an email with a link to pay the deposit online with a credit card. If the deposit is not paid within 3 days the appointment will be canceled.

  $60 will be applied toward the total on the day of your appointment.
  

• Pricing & payment

  Tattoos will be a fixed price based on the size and level of detail. We will agree on a price before your appointment. The minimum price is $120.

  If the tattoo you want is very small, I recommend waiting until you have 2 or 3 small designs in mind, and then getting them all in the same session to make the minimum price more worthwhile.

  Payment can be via Venmo or credit card, but cash is preferred! Venmo and credit card payments are subject to sales tax.

• Cancel, reschedule, late arrival, & no-show

  You will recieve a reminder email 24 hours before your appointment.

  Your deposit will cover one rescheduled appointment, as long as you let me know at least two hours before your appointment. If you change your mind and decide not to get tattooed, your deposit is forfeit.

  If you are running late to your appointment, that’s no problem, please just text me and let me know! My phone number will be in the email you receive after the appointment is booked.

• Tattoo design

  Preference will be given to designs that can be completed in a single session, and to stick and poke, floral, animals, bugs, skulls, linework, and simple text (like handwriting style, cursive script or roman numerals).

  I am happy to draw you something custom, or tattoo a design that you already have in mind (flash, Pinterest, etc). I will not tattoo your ribs, inner lip, or face.

  For custom work, the design will be ready at your appointment, I will not send the design ahead of time. We can make small adjustments to the design at your appointment if you want!

• Consent & release form

  Please bring a valid photo ID to your appointment. I will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.

• Numbing gel

  If you choose to use numbing gel, I suggest this brand: Ebanel Numb 520.

  Please spot test the numbing cream a day or two ahead of time to make sure you won’t have a bad reaction. To do this, apply a blob to your wrist area and wrap it in plastic wrap for about 45 minutes. It’s possible that even if the spot test goes okay, you might have a reaction to the numbing gel after the tattoo process, which I will not be responsible for. Numbing gel is “use at your own risk”.

  On the day of your appointment, you can bring the numbing gel with you and I will apply it before we start tattooing. No need to shave the area ahead of time or apply it yourself, I’ll take care of it for you.

  Numbing gel can take the edge off, but don’t expect it to make the process completely painless. Everybody’s skin is different so I can’t guarantee how well it will work for you.
