FAQ

What days do you work?

My schedule is currently Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, with appointments starting at 11. I do not take weekend appointments at this time.

Can I see the design before my appointment?

Unless its a 'Wanna Do' or Available Design/Flash, no. We can discuss your tattoo vision beforehand to make sure we're on the same page creatively!

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Drinking lots of water and moisturize! Get a good night sleep, eat a good meal before your appointment and try not to drink alcohol the night before. I also recommend to not take any meds/supplements that thin your blood (fish oil, advil, etc.)

Where are you located?

I'm currently located at a private studio in Tigard, OR (greater Portland). Once you've booked you'll receive the full address!

What should I bring to my appointment?

A government ID, snacks, headphones, a book/tablet - anything that you want to help you stay comfortable during the session.

Can you tattoo over scars?

Yes! I just ask that they be healed for at least 2 years! If not, I recommend giving them a little bit more time to settle before tattooing over them.

Do you accept cover-ups?

Yes, on a case by case basis. If you're interested in getting a cover up done, submit clear, well-lit photos of the tattoo you'd like to cover with a description of what you'd like to cover it with through the booking form.

How do I go about follow up appointments (2nd, 3rd Sessions)

We can discuss options at the end of your first session. Usually I'll book you a follow up at the end of your first session or you can book yourself through my calendar (via Square)

Will I schedule my appointment date via CoCreate or another platform?

After you've paid your deposit, you will get the link to my 'Square' calendar which allows you to see all the available dates and pick a time that works best for you. On 'Square' there's an option labeled 'COCREATE SCHEDULING PORTAL' that will take you where you need to go. That way you don't have to message me back and forth!
