Tattooing Policies and Procedures

 What forms of payment do you take? Cash is preferred at appointment day, Venmo/paypal is how I typically take deposits. I will allow partial payment via PayPal or Venmo, usually I ask that we discuss that prior to your appointment!

Do you send the design before the appointment? No, I no longer send the design before your appointment. For 9 years I did send the outline for your design, however I often had people send it to everyone they know for their opinions, which often resulted in changes being made that the client didn’t even want, then would be mad at me later for it. I expect that you correctly articulate what you’re wanting (and not wanting) while meaning it when you tell me that I have a lot of creative freedom. So if those things are true, changes will not need to be made or if there are, they are incredibly minor and we will make the change(s) morning of.


Things to know and remember before your tattoo:

  • Make sure you eat a good meal beforehand and are hydrated.
  • Please do not shave the area, I will do it for you! Shaving on your own can potentially lead to cuts or irritation bumps, which will require us to choose a different placement for the tattoo, or the need to reschedule WITH another booking fee placed in order to do so.
  • Wear clothing you are comfortable in and won’t mind if ink may get on it.
  • There is always a chance that I will feel lead to do some light breath-work, a small guided meditation, a tarot or oracle pull, or a burning of intention ritual with you before we start! I am a spiritual tattooer and I often have an intuition to do these things with a client, so if any of that will make you uncomfortable for some reason, please let me know before your appointment.


What are your policies for appointments?

So depending on how you booked, you will be receiving confirmation email/text either 24 or 48 hours before your appointment. Please be sure to keep an eye out so I don’t have to hunt you down myself to confirm!
If you’re getting a custom piece, I do also send the outline of the design the night before. See below for more information.

Things that will automatically forfeit your booking fee or will require a new one to be put down:

    • Being 15+ minutes late without any notice or communication.
    • A non-emergency reschedule for the second time (you get one non-emergency reschedule without needing to put down another booking fee as long as it is not outside of my 48 hour policy)
    • Cancellation at any point 
    • Major design changes once the design is shown morning of.
    • Not confirming your appointment through either Venue or GoReminders  AND not responding to my attempts to confirm your appointment myself the day before. I will be assuming you are not showing up and it is disrespectful to me to ghost, whether you’re planning on showing up or not.

    Requests of a complete change to what the original idea discussed when the deposit was put down will most likely be denied.

      NO, I do not allow the use of numbing cream. If you’re struggling, I can use Bactine during the tattoo, but I will NOT allow numbing creams to be used. I can likely guarantee I will be able to tell if you choose to not disclose that you put some on before arriving to your appointment, as it messes with your skin and messes with my ability to tattoo it. So if that is the case for you, I will stop the tattoo and you will be required to reschedule at my earliest date (probably around 3-5 months out) and also put down another booking fee. Always, always ask your artist about this, as most of us do not allow them, and with reason. Also am always open to discuss the reasons I have for this stance at your appointment or over email!

      Please ask me if you are wanting to bring someone along to your appointment! I tattoo out of a private suite and it’s not a super large room, so guests can be very tricky to have in the space. *Guests will 100% not be allowed during ceremonial sessions!


      Cancellations:       I have a 48 hour cancellation or reschedule policy. Unless it is an EMERGENCY, you will be required to put down another booking fee if you are rescheduling under the 48 hours. Cancellations will always nullify your booking fee, they are non refundable.

      Reschedules: My policy for reschedules allows for one non-emergency reschedule before you are required to put down another booking fee. I typically book 3-6 months out, so I expect my time to be respected, as well as the time of others who have been waiting to get in with me. Because I send out the confirmation email/text one-two days before your appointment, 48 hours is my reschedule timeframe without being required to place another deposit. Be advised that this does not apply to emergency situations, this is more for people who do not confirm either way for their appointment during the asked timeframe for a non-emergency reason.

      How do I book with you?
      I have three ways to get in my books! Ceremonial & Intuitive tattoo sessions , pre-drawn design drops that occur every couple months on Instagram only, and custom-ish. 

      For custom-ish inquiries, you can go here 

      Tell me about the designs?
      I only tattoo these designs one time. I post the designs on Instagram and you will email me with the letter of the design you want. I will respond with my Venmo information for the booking fee, as well as give you some date options for scheduling. Once booking fee is placed, the design is officially yours. I spend a lot of hours designing these, and they are typically a reflection of my favorite subject matters/elements to tattoo.

      I do have some left over designs available that were never claimed in Minnesota here

      What is your pricing like?

      I am $200/hr with a $400 minimum. My sessions are typically between 3-5 hours, I get a lot done in that time! I do not take tiny tattoos because of how quick I am, I prefer larger scale pieces. If your session ends up being less than 2 hours long for whatever reason, it will be $400 regardless. Be advised that your non refundable booking fee will still come off final price. 
      Some pre-drawn designs or custom designs may be subjected to a set price. Ornamental pieces may also be subjected to a set price due to how quick I am.

      When is your appointment time? I am a bit unconventional with my appointment time as a tattoo artist. Currently I only offer appointments at 9:00am, and each appointment is never more than 5 hours unless previously discussed. I do work weekends to accommodate 9-5 workers!

      Can I join your waitlist? Currently I do not offer a waitlist. I will always post available days due to reschedules or cancellations on my instagram stories, where I also have a broadcast channel that you can join to see about reschedules and get early access to pre-drawn designs!
