  faq     april 17, 10:00 amWhat is the shop minimum?
Shop minimum is $150.Is tipping required?
Tips are always appreciated! Cash or Venmo is preferred. If using Venmo, please put a random emoji.How far out do you book?
I usually book in 2-month blocks (ex. Jan-Feb). My books are usually 1-2 months in advance.What do you prefer to tattoo?
Preferred: Florals, Ghibli, Asian theme imagery, soft shading, illustrative pieces. Anything pictured on my Instagram.
No's: Geometrics, mandalas, realism, traditional, anything not pictured on my Instagram.Can I change my design after booking?
Flash: You may change your design if the desired flash is still available. *pricing may vary depending on the new design.
Custom: Let me know at least a week in advance if you want to alter the design concept. *Pricing may vary depending on new design.Can I bring a guest to my appointment?
You may bring a guest. Depending on the foot-traffic, there may not be space for your guest to sit with you during the tattoo. They will need to remain in the lobby if this is the case.Can I use numbing cream?
Numbing cream is not recommended as it changes up the skin texture and makes the tattooing process more difficult. It may affect how the tattoo heals. If you absolutely need numbing cream, any touch-ups will require a fee. Please let me know if you plan to use numbing prior to your appointment.Can you tattoo this design drawn by someone else?
I will not directly trace or copy artwork or another tattoo design done by another artist unless that artist has given explicit consent that their artwork can be used (proof of consent will be required.How are things priced?
Design complexity, size and placement all factor into the final cost. The bigger and more complex a design is will require more supplies & time to tattoo. It also varies on placement as some areas are more difficult to tattoo.Why are my rates as such?
There are a lot of factors behind tattooing that clients do not usually see. Among these include: time spent drafting and drawing the design, tattoo equipment & supplies, and more. A set up for even the smallest tattoo uses about the same amount of supplies for a large piece. Majority of the time, a tattoo artist does not get 100% of the profit of the tattoos they do as a portion of it goes towards the shop.My budget is xxx
I'm happy to work on a design if you have a set budget. Please keep open mind with the design and size limitations based on your budget. *This only applies to customs.
Flash designs will have a certain starting price since they have a minimum size requirement.Why is the deposit not refundable?
This is because the deposit secures your dedicated time with an artist. In the event of a cancellation, the deposit compensates for my time and the missed opportunity to book another client.
