Tattooing Policies and Procedures

What are your policies for appointments?

So I have a program that sends out a confirmation email/text two days before your appointment, and one day before your appointment I will send you the link to these policies. 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 already sent the night before**

    **For now, I send the outline of my designs the night before your appointment. It should be understood that this is not a common practice for tattoo artists, and is a convenience to you while also making things a bit easier on my end for morning-of since we start early! I also offer a couple minor changes once the design is sent. Major design changes will require an additional booking fee, the forfeiture of your booking fee, and/or a reschedule, depending on the circumstances. I do trust and expect that your inquiry will be was specific as possible so this does not lead to any major changes once design is sent!!! And if you are mostly giving me artistic freedom on the design, i trust and expect that you have also made sure to include elements you definitely do or definitely do not want(e.g. "i want a witchy sleeve with whatever you want to design, with the exception of snakes, but definitely including a bat," etc.)!
    The design is to be approved before the morning of your appointment, and changes will NOT be made once it’s approved. I typically send the design sometime between 2-5pm, and I expect a relatively prompt response since you should be expecting the design already. I will send you an additional email if I haven’t heard from you by 8-9pm, as I try and go to bed at a timely matter and the design will be sent hours before that time. It is an expectation that you do not send this design to everyone you know, as I only care about your opinion for your own tattoo and opinions of others may lead you to requesting changes that you yourself don’t even know if you want or not. Plus sending the design to a bunch of people for their responses and opinions will only delay your response to me on if changes need to be made. Please keep it to yourself.

    Please be on the lookout for the design I will be sending the day before your appointment. You are told here, and at the time of booking, that you will be receiving your design the night before and in case minor changes need to be made, or worst case major changes, I will need enough time to do so. If you work or have class that will prevent you from seeing my email with design between 2-5pm to promptly respond, please let me know that at the time of scheduling so we can discuss additional options.
    Requests of 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.

      Please ask me if you are wanting to bring someone along to your appointment! 

      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.

      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 two days before your appointment, two days/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?       The way my process currently works is that every couple of months I release pre-drawn designs. People will claim the design by purchasing it on here, and that purchase acts as the deposit for the design. I only tattoo these one time, they are not flash designs that are tattooed multiple times.

      I do also have repeatable flash designs available.

      At this time I am also accepting custom-ish requests. Go here for that: https://www.goreminders.com/book/5f442a92ef270ee2

      Tell me about the designs? As mentioned above, I only tattoo these designs one time. Whoever purchases the design first, is the one who gets it! I will contact you once the design is purchased, and we can find a time to do the tattoo! I spend a lot of hours designing these, and they are typically a reflection of my favorite subject matters/elements to tattoo.

      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 flash 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 10AM, each appointment is never more than 5 hours unless previously discussed. I do work weekends to accommodate 9-5 workers!

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

      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!
