Information and Policies

Booking/Consultations

You can book either a consultation or appointment through the contact form when my books are open. Consultations are free.



Books opening

If you sign up for the mailing list you’ll be notified when they open. Also, keep an eye on my Instagram because I’ll be posting about when they open!



Rates/Payment

My rate is $200 an hour. Larger pieces may need multiple sessions.

If you have a budget, let me know and I will do my best to work with you!

My preferred payment methods are cash, Venmo, and Zelle.



Cancelation/Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule, please give me at least 72 hours notice. You can still use your deposit and you’ll be moved to the nearest available date, which may be two or three months out.

If you give me less than 72 hours notice or you no show, your deposit will be forfeit and you’ll need to put down a new deposit to schedule.



Deposits

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time of booking your appointment. This deposit goes towards the total cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo takes multiple sessions, your deposit will be used for your last session. Your deposit is forfeit if:

  • You no show.

  • You reschedule with less than 72 hours notice.

  • You reschedule more than once, regardless of notice.



Design

Designs are not sent before the appointment; I will have it fully rendered for you (with color) when you come in, and we can make minor changes together if we need to. Please be specific about what you want/don't want!

If you change your idea/placement after the appointment has been made, or if changes made at the time of your appointment require a complete redraw, you might have to be rescheduled and asked to leave a new deposit.

Before Your Tattoo Appointment

  • Drink lots of water!

  • Avoid drinking alcohol the day/night before your appointment.

  • Avoid getting sunburn. If you’re sunburned in the area you’re getting tattooed we’ll have to reschedule.

  • Don’t apply any numbing cream; I have numbing spray we can use during the tattoo if you need it.

Parking

There is a parking lot directly behind the tattoo shop. There is an entrance on E Cesar Chavez and another on Chalmers Ave.
