This deposit will be required to reserve your design and appointment and will go towards the final cost of the tattoo. If you don’t show up to your appointment (without giving me a 24-hour heads up) this deposit will not be refunded.
Tattoo Minimum — $200
The minimum charge for a tattoo will be $200, no matter how small the tattoo is — each appointment requires preparation and has a setup cost. If you’re looking to get a small tattoo I would love to pair it with another tattoo so that you get your money’s worth!
Hourly Rate — $200
I only charge for the time that I'm actually tattooing and will not bill for the total time we spend in our appointment. I’ll be able to give a rough estimate once you submit your ideas/reference photos to my booking form (most of my recent pieces have been ranging from $350-$450). If the price estimate is outside of your budget please let me know — I'm always happy to work out a solution that works for both of us <3
Custom Pieces & Consultations — $50
Custom pieces that are tailored to your body or work around existing tattoos require more time, attention, and collaboration than a flash piece. These types of custom pieces will require at least one in-person consultation where we can bounce ideas, draw on skin, test stencils.
Drawing Fee — $50
This fee will only be charged if there are considerable amounts of additional tweaks made to a flash or custom piece.
*My only accepted form of payment is cash or e-transfer (e-transfers will be taxed) — tips will always be appreciated :)
- Come to the session clean and fresh!
- If you’re sure of your placement, shaving the area before coming would be appreciated as it’ll save time and tools :)
- Make sure to wear loose clothing (ideally black) that can easily reveal the area being tattooed. And wear clothing that you’re comfortable being photographed in!
- Eat and hydrate prior to the appointment. Bring water/light snacks, especially if it’s a long appointment!
- Bring cash! If I haven’t given you an estimate yet please feel free to ask :)
Keep your second-skin bandage on for at 2-3 days after your tattoo appointment! The bandage is waterproof, so you can shower and carry on with life as usual, but it’s not recommended to submerge your new tattoo fully underwater. Redness & soreness should be gone in 1-3 days!
Day 3-10
Thoroughly wash your hands and carefully peel the bandage from your skin — I recommend doing this in the shower as it’s more gentle on the skin! Once the bandage is off, follow this routine for approximately one week:
- Clean the tattoo with unscented soap at least once a day.
- Dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
- Use a very light layer of unscented moisturizer to provide relief from itching and to hydrate the skin.
Day 10-30
As the tattoo heals, please follow these instructions!
- Do not touch the area with dirty hands.
- Do not pick or scratch the area — this can affect how your tattoo heals.
- Do not swim, use a sauna or hot tub for 4-6 weeks.
- Avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure to the area for 4-6 weeks
One Month
After a month, your tattoo should be fully healed! To maintain the longevity of the tattoo, please remember to keep the skin moisturized and apply sunscreen when going out. I’d also love to see how your tattoo is doing at this point so please send me some photos when you can! :)
