Studio Policies & Booking Terms
GENERAL INFORMATION
Age Requirement: I will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18—no exceptions.
Consultations: I do not offer in-person consultations. All inquiries, references, and design requests must be sent via email. This allows me to stay organized and refer back to our conversation as needed.
Wait Time: My current wait time is typically 3–4 months. If you’ve secured an appointment and would like to be added to the cancellation list, please let me know. Openings due to cancellations will be offered based on availability and require flexibility.
What to Wear: Please wear black, inexpensive clothing to your appointment—tattoo sessions can get messy with ink. Also, dress appropriately for the area you’re getting tattooed to ensure comfort and access.
Photography: I love photographing finished tattoos for my portfolio. If you have clothing or accessories that complement the style of your piece, feel free to bring them along!
Thank you so much for your interest in my work—I look forward to meeting you and, most importantly, tattooing you!
DESIGN POLICY
I dedicate a great deal of time to crafting your custom tattoo design. However, I do not charge for the hours spent designing—this is included as part of your experience.
To make the best use of our session, your design will be ready when you arrive. This allows us to begin tattooing promptly, rather than spending time drawing at the
start. Due to my high volume of appointments, I do not send designs in advance. Most are created a few days—or even the night—before your session. You will have the opportunity to view your design at your appointment, and minor changes can be made at that time if needed.
DEPOSITS
A non-refundable deposit is required to book your appointment. This secures your session and is applied to the final cost of your tattoo. Cancellations or failure to reschedule within the allowed time will result in forfeiture of your deposit.
RESCHEDULE POLICY
If you need to reschedule, please do so at least 72 hours in advance. One reschedule is allowed per deposit. Additional changes or late notice will require a new deposit to book a future session.
COPYRIGHT & USAGE
All tattoo designs are original and remain the intellectual property of the artist. I reserve the right to use any tattoo or design for my portfolio, social media, and promotional content. Your design may not be copied, altered, or tattooed by another artist without written permission.
By checking the box at the time of booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to all of the above policies.
