-Step 1: Fill out a tattoo inquiry on my Co: Create page to completion. I will respond to your inquiry within 48 hours. I will send you a message to set up an over-the-phone or in-person consultation if I can take on your project. You will receive a deposit request that must be paid by the end of your consultation (within 48 hours). -Step 2: Prepare for your consultation Make sure you have read through my policies and FAQ, and have any questions ready at the consultation. -Step 3: the consultation. The appointment can last 15 to 30 minutes. We will cover design, placement, appointment date and time, questions, concerns, etc. Once we are both on the same page, I will give you an estimate, and you will pay the deposit. I will book you and provide any additional information. I will send the design one to two days before your appointment to make sure any changes can be made before your appointment.

All flash and premade designs are one-use only. These designs cannot be altered. The posted size of each design is fixed unless you want to size up a considerable amount. If that is the case, please put in a custom inquiry with the size and placement. Flash and premade designs cannot be bought and tattooed by another artist.

-A week before your tattoo: take care of the skin that will be tattooed. I will not tattoo you if you show up to your appointment with damaged skin. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water! Hydrated skin makes my job easier. Moisturizing and light exfoliation also ensure your skin is in the best condition before your tattoo. Do not exfoliate in the 3 days before your appointment. Plan your exercise routine accordingly; you won't be able to sweat or exercise a week after your appointment. -24 hours before your appointment: Do not consume ibuprofen or blood-thinning medication, as you will bleed more during your tattoo. Do not consume drugs or alcohol, as they can also cause more bleeding. Get plenty of rest the night before your appointment. -The day of your appointment: Eat a good meal before your appointment. Feel free to bring snacks or drinks before your appointment. I also have free snacks and drinks at my studio. Do not consume energy drinks or caffeine before or during an appointment; they will dehydrate you and make you jittery. Wear adjustable, comfortable clothing so I can access the tattoo location. Do not wear light colored clothing. Bring a jacket or blanket; it gets chilly during breaks. PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT! I do not want to smell your BO during our appointment. Be conscious and respectful by preparing for the location where I will be tattooing. If your upper body is being tattooed, apply some deodorant. If I am tattooing your legs, wear clean socks and avoid wearing stinky shoes. I've had cases so bad that it makes tattooing difficult. If it's a serious issue, I will make you aware quietly and respectfully. Distraction makes sitting for a tattoo easier, so bring some form of entertainment. I will also be happy to chat with you during your tattoo.

I am not taking on: arm bands, finger or toe tattoos, tattoos on or near genitals, white ink tattoos, hate symbols, face tattoos, or palm tattoos. I especially want to mention that I will not be tattooing any work or designs done by another tattoo artist, including AI art. I will create custom designs based on the references you provide. Please be clear about what you want. Do not send an inquiry with the illusion that you want a custom, only to change your mind after I have drawn a design and request that I copy a reference photo you sent. Exceptions to this are: you are requesting a realism or portrait tattoo, you have special permission from an artist to use their work, or I am copying/ or incorporating a design from a fandom or famous/classical traditional artist.

I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 10:30 am - 7:00 pm. Occasionally, I offer Sundays and Wednesdays to clients I've tattooed. I do not close my books. I always have availability, but I cannot guarantee short-notice appointments. Plan to book 1-2 weeks out from your tattoo inquiry. I won't book further than two months out.

Plastic wrap will stay on for two or three hours. Second skin wrap will stay on for three to seven days. Remove the wrap if the tattoo leaks out, part of the tattoo becomes exposed, or it irritates your skin. It is easiest to remove the wrap in the shower. After the wrap is removed, wash and moisturize 2-3 times a day. Air dry or pat dry with a clean paper towel. Wash using an anti-bacterial soap. Moisturize with an uncented moisturizer. Remember, your tattoo is an open wound; clean your hands before touching your tattoo. Wear clean, loose clothing over your tattoo. Avoid products containing alcohol. What to expect the first week: your tattoo can be swollen or tender. Take a pain reliever or an ice pack to alleviate pain. Your tattoo may look muddled or have an ink sack under the second skin. This is normal; your tattoo is healing and pushing out ink, blood, and plasma. What to expect the second week: your wrap should be off. Your tattoo will be a little dry, flaky, or scabby. There will be itching. Use moisturizer to alleviate itch and prevent the tattoo from drying out too much. Do not over-moisturize, as it can slow down healing. Do not itch, smack, or pick at your tattoo to alleviate itch; this will cause poor healing. Small pats or gentle rubbing is okay. What to expect in the third and fourth weeks: your tattoo will be a little flaky and begin to smooth out. Clean and moisturize at least once a day. By the fifth and sixth week, your tattoo should be healed. What to avoid: heavy sweating for the first few days, as sweating under the second skin can lead to infection. Do not submerge your tattoo in water for 2 to 3 weeks or until the tattoo is no longer flaky. That means no baths, pools, hot tubs, or saunas. Showering is okay. Stay away from environments that might introduce bacteria to your tattoo. Wear clean protective clothing if you must be in a compromising environment. Keep your fresh tattoo out of the sun; you can wear sunscreen with limited exposure at 3 to 4 weeks.

One guest is allowed at your appointment. Do not bring a guest if you are getting tattooed with another person. Bring a person who will be comforting, not someone who will have an opinion on your tattoo. This makes for a less stressful experience for both of us. Absolutely NO CHILDREN, BABIES, or PETS! The only exception will be service animals.

I will send the design either the night before, or 2 days before, or sometime in between. DO NOT continually ask me when the design will be done; you are not my only client, and I will work on designs in the order of my appointments. I will send the design when I am done, and if I am running behind, I will let you know. All major changes must be made before the appointment. I can make small design changes at the appointment. The request for a new drawing will require a new deposit and a new appointment.

Yes, you must let me know that you will be using numbing before your appointment. You will be responsible for purchasing and applying the cream before your tattoo. I recommend Hush numbing or Dr. Numb.

Please do not consume alcohol or smoke/consume nicotine products. CBD isolate gummies may be beneficial if you are experiencing anxiety. Do not consume if you don't have previous experience with CBD products. Do not consume THC products.

Fluctuation in weight is normal. In most cases, it shouldn't affect your tattoo. You should hold off getting tattooed only in extreme cases. If you are losing or gaining a large amount of weight (100-200 lbs), where the skin will be stretched, you should wait. If you are planning to get skin removal surgery, especially in the areas you want tattooed, wait to get tattooed.

Tips are welcome but not expected. You can tip whatever feels right. I have no preference and will never shame you in whatever choice you make. If you really want to leave tips but are not sure you can afford it after paying for a tattoo, I welcome small plants, crafts, food, or other random things as tips.

I will only tattoo another artist's design if you have evidence that they have given permission. I will be happy to use any reference you bring me and create something original, but I will not copy a design exactly.

If you have bleeding or circulatory issues, compromised immune systems, chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, heart conditions, or diabetes, please consult your doctor before booking an appointment. I am not a medical professional, and I cannot give medical advice.

Please address your allergies and other concerns with me during your consultation. I do my best to accommodate in any way I can.

My starting and hourly price is $120. Half days are $500, and full days are $1000. Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. I will provide a personalized estimate when you send a tattoo inquiry. I will charge a nonrefundable deposit that covers drawing and design prep. Deposits range from $50 - $500, depending on size and detail. Deposits are a separate cost from the tattoo.

The studio I am at has ramps to the entrances and an elevator. During the appointment, I will accommodate you as long as you inform me of your needs.

I apologize in advance that I will not be able to tattoo you, regardless of your parents' permission. I will be happy to tattoo you once you are of age.

Yes, tattoos hurt. Pain is subjective; I cannot tell you how you might experience the pain of a tattoo.

Please reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell. Regardless of what is ailing you, getting tattooed while sick makes the process more painful. I also don't want to get sick if you are carrying something contagious. Contact me asap if you won't be in good health for your appointment. You will still be charged a rescheduling fee if you reschedule the morning of your appointment.
