Information To Include
When reaching out to book a tattoo please provide me with as much details as possible.
Information I require to book a tattoo is:
~detailed description of your idea, the more info the better!
~reference photos that help illustrate/describe your idea
~Aprox size and location on the body
~whether you want the tattoo in colour or black and grey
~If you have a specific budget you need to work within
~If you have a specific timeline in mind for the tattoo to be completed
**its also helpful if you let me know if it will be your first tattoo!
I can help answer any questions and ease your mind about the process if you're nervous!**
Deposit Info
~I collect $100 deposits for all booked tattoos. All appointments are not confirmed until the $100 deposit is received.
~The deposit is non refundable-it covers my time to draw the tattoo and once the design is drawn, I cant get that time back so the deposit is a protection in place for my time.
~The deposit is transferrable twice, so long as enough notice to change the appointment is given. (Please see cancellation policy, min of 72 hours).
~Deposits will be used towards the cost of the tattoo on the last appointment for the piece the deposit was made towards. (Example: a tattoo takes 2 sittings, the deposit will be applied to the second sitting.)
~Deposits will be held in good standing for 2 years should you need to postpone the tattoo, so long as the appointment has not been reschedule 2 times prior.
Availibility
I am Open Monday-Friday 9:30am-3:30pm
How to Prepare for your tattoo appointment
~Moisturize your skin morning and night for a few days before your appointment
~IMPORTANT: hydrate and eat a good meal before your appointment!
~Wear comfortable clothes, bring headphones, snacks-whatever you need to be extra cozy and keep yourself distracted during your appointment
Numbing Cream?
Yes I will work with numbing cream, no I do not carry it. IF you want to use numbing cream you can purchase and apply your own prior to your appointment. I have brands I can suggest that I have experienced to work better than others so feel free to ask for suggestions. please keep in mind that most numbing creams need to sit on the skin for an hour or so for the numbness to take effect so apply accordingly. **PLEASE spot test any products before applying because if you have a negative reaction to the numbing cream that aggravates your skin we will have to reschedule**
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Window: If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment I require at lease 72 hours notice. This allows me some time to be able to fill the appointment with clients off my waiting list.
Deposits will transfer to the new appointment so long as the minimum notice period has been met. Cancellations or reschedules under 72 hours will forfeit the $100 deposit and a new deposit will need to be paid in order to secure a new appointment time.
Appointments can be rescheduled a max of 2 times. if an appointment is rescheduled a third time the deposit will be forfeit and a new $100 deposit will need to be paid in order to be able to make the appointment.
No Shows automatically forfeit the $100 deposit and the appointment may not be rebooked, pending artists discretion.
