FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Booking
How do I book a pre-drawn design?
Open the design, pick an available date/time on the embedded calendar, and check out. You’ll pay a 25% non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. The remaining balance is due at the end of your session.
How do I request a custom tattoo?
Fill out the Custom Request form with your idea, placement, and reference images. If it’s a fit, I’ll reply with next steps and an invoice link to pay a $100 non-refundable deposit to reserve time.
Can I pay in full online?
For pre-drawn designs, you’ll pay the 25% deposit at booking and the remainder in studio after the tattoo. For custom work, the $100 deposit is paid after approval.
Deposits
Are deposits refundable?
No. All deposits are non-refundable. See the full Tattoo Deposit Policy.
Can I move my appointment without losing my deposit?
Yes—please reschedule at least 24 hours before your booking using your confirmation email link, or contact me. Late changes/no-shows forfeit the deposit.
Prep & What to Expect
How should I prepare?
Eat well, hydrate, and get sleep. Avoid alcohol or blood thinners 24 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area. Full guide: How to Prepare.
Do you allow numbing creams?
If you plan to use a topical numbing product, let me know ahead of time so we can make sure it’s applied correctly and won’t affect the stencil.
Aftercare
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
You’ll leave with a padded bandage or a Saniderm/Tegaderm style film. Follow the step-by-step instructions here: Tattoo Aftercare.
