Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m typically booked 3 to 5 months in advance. To stay updated on when I open my books, you can:

    • Follow me on Instagram for announcements.

    • Subscribe to my email list for first access to booking updates and other news.

  • Yes, a deposit is required to secure your tattoo appointment. The deposit ensures your time is reserved and goes toward the final cost of your tattoo.

    • Deposits are non-refundable.

    • If you need to reschedule, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance, and your deposit can be transferred to the new date.

    • Last-minute cancellations, no-shows, or late arrivals without prior notice will forfeit the deposit, and a new one will be required to rebook.

    For more details about deposit policies, please check the “Book a Session” page.

    • Keep your body and skin hydrated: drink plenty of water and apply lotion daily, especially on the area you’re getting tattooed (knees and elbows need extra care!).

    • Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine the day before and the day of your appointment.

    • Sleep well and eat healthy, balanced meals leading up to your session.

    • Eat a good meal before your appointment (not too much, though!).

    • Please avoid taking anti-inflammatory pills or painkillers before your session, as they can thin your blood and slow the tattooing process.

    If you have specific questions about preparation, feel free to ask!

    • Bring water, snacks, and anything that helps you stay comfortable—like a blanket, headphones, or a good playlist.

    • Wear comfortable dark clothes that give me easy access to the area being tattooed.

    • Feel free to share any thoughts or concerns about your design; I’m always open to answering questions or making adjustments.

    • Try to stay as still as possible during the session. If you need to move or take a break, just let me know—small movements can affect the precision of the tattoo.

  • Unfortunately, I can’t send sketches or drawings before our appointment. However, if you’d like to make adjustments to the design, we can work on them together on the day of your appointment.

  • If you’ve changed your mind and want to make significant changes to your original tattoo idea, please let me know by the Saturday before your appointment. Changes requested later may incur an additional fee.

  • I don’t recommend numbing cream, especially for tattoos with heavy linework, as it changes the consistency of the skin and can affect the final result. However, if you feel you really need it, use it at your own risk.
