Frequently Asked Questions


How much do you charge?

I currently charge $150 an hour. I price everything individually based on size, placement and detail. I’ll let you know how much anything is once we discuss what you’re getting!

Is a deposit required?

Yes, I have a $50 deposit that goes towards the total cost of your tattoo! No drawings or date for the appointment will happen unless the deposit is paid. I send out my deposit payment link by email. Deposits are non-refundable and you will lose your deposit if you cancel within 48 hours or no-call no-show. Life is crazy; just let me know what’s going on!

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle or Apple Pay works! I also have a Square system if you’d like to pay by card!

Can you do a custom tattoo?

Of course! I would prefer to do something in my style but send me a message and we can work on something together! I will take priority on ideas that align with my style and interests, but send me a message and we can work on something together!

That being said, these are some subjects I’ve been wanting to tattoo:

  • Fantasy/medieval

  • Weapons like swords or maces

  • Spooky things like pumpkins, bats, coffins, ghosts, etc.

  • Weird imagery

  • Low-poly or video game characters/subjects

What do I bring to the appointment?

  • Your ID

  • Comfortable clothing meant for placement of tattoo (short sleeve shirts for arms, shorts for legs, etc)

  • Things you’ll need for comfort (snacks, headphones, emotional support plushie, etc.)

*Please make sure you’re well rested and don’t forget to eat and drink water before your appointment!*

Can I use numbing cream?

Yes of course you can! Just please let me know before your appointment or when we book so I can tell you what to do! (I have a 20% discount at MadRabbit for all of their products, including their numbing cream!)

How do I book with you?

Aftercare

Keep the derm shield on for at least 3-5 days. It will collect ink and plasma to heal your tattoo. This is normal! If it starts to pool or become irritated and itchy please remove the wrap ASAP!

  • Wash your hands!!

  • Take off the wrap under warm running water and pull down on the bottom edge and work your way up, like a command strip!

  • Gently clean your tattoo with Unscented Antibacterial Hand Soap and use only your hands. Rinse clean and pat dry with a paper towel or air dry.

  • Apply a thin layer of aquaphor or healing ointment to keep it moist.

  • Wash and moisturize your tattoo at least 2-3 times a day until it’s fully healed!

  • You can still shower with the derm shield on, but please be gentle and try not to soak it!

  • Please I’m begging don’t swim with your new tattoo in the ocean or the pool, it can get infected!!

  • Keep it out of direct sunlight, wear loose clothing if you’ll be out in the sun.

  • Please don’t scratch it while it’s healing, it will be itchy but try your best!
