Prior to booking: You will want to know what design you are looking to get, where, and an approximate size.  If the amount of detail you desire is not eligible for the size you are requesting, you will be notified.  Please take the time to look at my portfolio to determine if the design you want + my work align.  If you are unsure, please feel free to reach out.  It is crucial that you know what you are looking for, what styles you like and dislike, that way when I reach out to work on your design, we are accomplishing your design approval in around two iterations. ​

 

Once you are ready to book:  Please access the booking application and fill out in its entirety.  Please provide as much detail as possible in order for your request to be reviewed.  For example, instead of saying "I want my son's birthdate", you would say "I would like my son's birthdate which is June 16, 2012, written in a cursive font such as "cherolina" shown on dafont.com, placed on my thigh just above my knee, in about 4 inches".  Further, instead of saying "I want a birth flower bouquet", you would say "I would love to get a bouquet with the 3 birth flowers, which are:  poppy, rose, and lily of the valley, in approximately 5 inches, placed on my left forearm". 

​

Once we receive your form, it will be reviewed and if we are the best fit for you and your tattoo, you will receive an approval email with your quote, deposit quote, and a private booking link for you to find a date and time that works for your schedule.  Once you pay your deposit and are booked, you will receive a booking confirmation.  *If you are denied an appointment, you will also receive an email letting you know the reason, so that you know if you are eligible to apply again in the future.

​

Additionally, please ONLY use an email that you utilize regularly.  We provide all updates, approvals and denials, to the email address that you provide.  If we do not hear back from you within 72 hours, your spot will go to someone else. 

​

After you are booked:  About 4-5 days prior to your appointment, we will reach out to you (to the email you entered upon booking!) to begin working with you on your design.  We will obtain any inspo pics and all specific details from you.  Be prepared to answer very specific questions, or to allow creative liberty to us.  Making a couple of very minor edits is expected, but anything more than 3 versions tells me that you're likely unsure about what you want, and will also result in an extra drawing fee.  All designs must be finalized and approved by you no later than 48 hours ahead of your appointment, so your prompt responses during this time are needed.  In the event this deadline is not respected by the client, a fee will incur at the least, with the possibility of your appt being canceled.  We do work back-to-back with zero time allotted during your appointment for any drawing, design, or resizing.  We will come prepared to your appointment with a couple of slightly varying sizes for you to choose from.  

 

Placement:  Please note that there are areas of the body which I do *NOT* tattoo.  Please understand that there are reasons for this, and I do not make exceptions.  If you come to your appointment expecting a placement that I do not tattoo, you will need to either find an alternative placement, or forfeit your deposit and pay the remaining balance.  These excluded areas include (but not limited to): fingers, feet, throats, faces, intimate areas, and torsos.  Additionally, you will want to ensure the area you desire for placement will need to be free from sun damage, certain sun spots, scarring, any moles, raised freckles, and cherry angiomas.  I am *unable* to tattoo over any of these skin conditions.  Please also know that there may be areas not listed that will not work for your specific body type.  Inquire if needed. Keep in mind that sometimes touchups are needed; higher-traffic areas will be more at-risk for this.  APPRENTICE PLACEMENT:  All of the same guidelines apply, with additional restrictions.  Preferred placement for apprentice appointments are arms and legs.

​

Pricing:  Pricing that is listed on booking page reflects all "starting" prices. Your specific cost is going to depend upon final design, level of detail, size, and placement.  Please note that when you book a specific size, your appointment timing is determined around that, so if you are to change your mind prior to your appointment and *downgrade* your design, you are subject to a fee.  This is because you booked extra time with me, that is unable to go to another client, and impacts our schedule sometimes dramatically. It's also important to note that your design may not be *exactly* 2 inches, or 3 inches, etc.   If you book a 3inch tattoo, and opt for a 2.5inch design at the time of your appointment, your cost will not decrease, as the estimate I provided is for sizing between 2 and 3 inches (for example).
