Booking and Design Process
You Must Be 18 and up to book. I do not tattoo minors.
I’d like to give you some insight on my design process. The pictures you have uploaded are reference points for me to get a feel on what you are wanting. I will not use the exact photo you have uploaded (unless it is a portrait of a family member or one of my “wanna do” pieces) in creating this piece as I like to find images with good lighting, clarity, and overall proper composition to ensure we create a beautiful piece of work that complements the body and placement, along with other elements added if necessary. I do not send out my designs to ensure they are not taken and given to another artist to complete. I ask that you fully have looked through my work and can trust my style fits you. I design the piece the night before so that I can focus strictly on your piece for the following day.
The deposit is $200 per session and comes off of the total, and the appointment cannot be held until the deposit is received. Deposits are non refundable but can be moved if in need of a reschedule, If you reschedule within 7 days leaving me enough room to fill your spot. This includes COVID. If you have covid and need to reschedule, I allow one reschedule/move of the deposit, but it is not refundable.
Please avoid too much drinking the night before or any substances that can leave you, or your judgment impaired. I cannot and will not take you if you show up drunk or under any hard substances. These things affect the process and you’re healing. We want the best outcome possible!
The night before your session, it is important to have a good meal, as well as a good breakfast the day of. Stay hydrated and bring snacks if you would like. A healthy body is a healthy heal. Please start moisturizing the area we are working on. Good skin conditions make for a better outcome and process, so if you work outside a lot, start putting lotion on that area. PLEASE, NO NUMBING CREAMS. Numbing creams work for 30 to 1 1/2 hours at best and will affects the tattoo ,in my opinion, and the appearance of the tattoo during the session from inflammation. We will get through it together!
