How to Book
I take appointment requests in a few different ways. If you prefer a more independent approach, I have a convenient google form that asks all the questions I need from you, I'll just reach out to you to work out a price quote, deposit, and a day/time. If you'd prefer to talk it out with me or book a consultation before your appointment, you can reach out to me over Instagram, email, or by calling the shop.

Frequently asked questions
I get asked these quite often, so here are some easy answers!
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
The number one rule is to make yourself comfortable! Be sure to eat a full meal before coming in, wear clothes that allow access to the location of your tattoo, and bring a bag with all your essentials (entertainment, snacks, water, etc.!)
Your skin best takes ink when it's well moisturized, so be sure to apply lotion at least 2-3 hours before your appointment!
What If I'm not sure what I want or Where I want it?
There is absolutely no rush! I'm always here to help you through your decision making process if you need it, but I'll never rush you if you're unsure. For help with placement I always offer a pre-appointment consultation so we can finalize any design changes and try out some stencils to see where you like it the best!
How do deposits work and why do you need one?
Deposits serve a couple of purposes! First off, they hold the time and day for you, so I don't book someone else in your spot or for your design (if you're claiming flash). They also pay for the time I spend drawing your design, setting up for your appointment, and for the supplies I'll use on your tattoo. Artists typically require them to ensure they're still paid (even if it's a fraction of the price of the tattoo) for the day. I charge $50 deposits, and it is always subtracted from the final total of your appointment when it's time to pay.
What if I can't make my appointment anymore?
That's so totally okay! I understand, shit happens. As long as you reach out at least 24 hours before the appointment, I'm happy to reschedule you under the same deposit. Last-minute reschedules are handled on a case-by-case basis, but more often than not I'm super forgiving and won't give you a hard time. After 2 reschedules or a no-call no-show, you'll have to pay another deposit to reserve another time slot.
