FAQs + Policies


scheduling

Schedule is posted on my booking form. My hours start at 10-11:30am. I accept 2-4 clients per day. Appointment times range from 1-4+ hours (complex/bigger = longer).Appts are only confirmed once I have gone through your request and I receive a deposit. I will reach out via ig or email.


pricing

Pricing starts at $120. Final cost is determined by the complexity, size, color, and placement of the design. Flash prices are listed under the designs tab, custom pricing will vary. A non-refundable deposit of $75 (flash) or $100 (custom) is required to secure an appt, which is applied to the final cost.For some larger pieces I may decide to charge 150/hr. I also offer bundles for multiple small designs during one session (ex. 2=$250, 3=$320). My current quote is ~$150-225 for smaller & ~230-400+ the more complex/bigger it gets.


no show & lateness

Running late is okay ! Pls communicate when you will arrive. I allow 20 min grace period. After that, I may have to cancel your appt, because there is not enough time & I have other clients.Sometimes i may still have time to proceed with the appt even if you are more than 20 mins late. A $30 late fee will be applied.No shows will be blocked and blacklisted from future bookings


rescheduling

To reschedule or cancel, Instagram DM or email me.If you reschedule before 48 hours of the appointment, the original deposit will apply to the new session. If you reschedule within 48 hours of the appointment, your deposit will be forfeited. A new deposit is needed to book.One reschedule is allowed. If you reschedule again, a new deposit is needed. Please reschedule if you are not feeling well!Sometimes i'll be the one to ask for a reschedule (usually due to scheduling conflicts with my other job, family, health, transportation issues from NJ, bad weather) If you cannot reschedule and we need to cancel, the deposit will be sent back.I will ONLY make exceptions for rescheduling within 48 hrs (NOT the day of the appointment) if it is due to harsh weather conditions. In this case, the original deposit will still be valid.


deposit

,All deposits are non-refundable. No deposit = no appointment. (The only exception is if I ask to reschedule and you are unable to.)Cancellations result in losing your deposit. A new deposit must be sent to rebook.Reschedules must be made before 48 hours of the appointment, or your deposit will be forfeited. One reschedule is allowed. Afterwards a new one is required to rebook.Anyone who attempts to dispute the deposit charge with their bank after cancelling will be banned from booking with me."Why can't deposits be refunded?"
A deposit reserves your time in my schedule. Even if you cancel, a deposit covers the time lost in my schedule that could've been given to someone else. Before your session, time is spent preparing for the appointment. Your deposit covers for the work and time already invested.
Please be 100% sure that you want a tattoo from me before sending your deposit. Thanks.


customs

Custom designs will be sent THE MORNING of appointment day. Any changes will be made at the beginning of the appt.Exceptions: clients traveling out of state (same day) specifically for the tattoo, and clients booked for guest spots. designs will be sent 1-2 days before.If you decide not to move forward with the design or appointment, the deposit goes towards any preparation + drawing time.I only accept custom requests that fit my personal style, or I have interest in doing.

boop a nose to book !

Tattoo Aftercare


Leave on cover for 2-4 days before taking it off under running warm water/shower. If the ink and fluids build up underneath, that's normal. If the wrap starts coming off or leaking a lot, remove and clean with soap and let it air dry. Care for as normal. The area may be sore for the first few days.


Use antibacterial or unscented soap and clean with WARM water. Air dry or use clean paper towel to dry (do not use a towel since it carries bacteria !). After drying apply a thin layer of moisturizer (thin layer of aquaphor or an unscented lotion like lubriderm)


Keep the tattoo area clean and moisturized. You should wash it 2 times a day (day/night) and moisturize 2-3 times a day or whenever it is feeling dry.


Do NOT go swimming or soak your tattoo in any bodies of water (saunas, baths, pools) unitl fully healed and try to avoid direct sunlight exposure for 2 weeks


If you workout/gym frequently, it is best not to do intense workouts (avoid sweating) for the first 2 weeks. Be mindful of bacteria and dirty equipment being exposed to your tattoo !


Peeling, flaking, and itchiness is normal. It is a healing wound, so do not pick at peeling skin, rub, scratch, etc. If itchy, tap lightly with clean hands.


Be gentle with it and leave it to heal on its own. Wear clothing that will not bother you (comfortable/loose)


Try to avoid contact between your tattoo and any animals (pets or other animals carry bacteria on fur or if ur furry friend licks you !)


After fully healed (3-4 weeks) the tops layer of the tattoo should be done peeling and healed. If you notice fading or inconsistencies, feel free to message me for any touch ups any time.
