Policies

Deposit Policy: Deposits are nonrefundable for cancellations or no-shows. One reschedule is allowed with advance notice, and your deposit will transfer to the new appointment. Your deposit will be applied at the final session of your tattoo project.
Cover-up policy: Accepting cover-ups.
Guest Policy: Due to limited studio space, guests are not permitted during appointments. This helps me maintain a calm environment and give you my full attention during your session.
Design Policy: Custom designs are created in my style and are not sent out before the appointment unless the tattoo is pre-drawn flash. Any minor adjustments can be made the day of the appointment.
Placement Policy: I do not tattoo ribs, feet, necks, or offensive/discriminatory imagery.
Cash Policy: I am currently cash only! Please plan ahead of time to get cash out of your bank.
Late Policy: Please arrive on time. If you are more than 30 minutes late, your appointment may need to be shortened or rescheduled, and your deposit may be forfeited.
Scope/Changes Policy: Design, placement, and size changes are completely welcome. I just ask for enough notice before your appointment to properly redraw and prepare your design.
Good Faith Policy: I will always do my best to give you the best tattoo on your body and work with you in good faith throughout the process. I simply ask for the same honesty, communication, and respect.
Wanna-do placement policy: All want-to-do placements shown are merely suggestions. Most designs can be adapted and flow beautifully on many different areas of the body depending on your vision.
