    Quotes are provided as an estimate based on size, location, detail etc.

    Many factors can change the appointment so note these are ballpark figures.

    My goal is to be as transparent as I can through this whole process. If I don’t feel that I’m the artist for you, I will let you know and try my best to steer you toward an artist that may be a better fit. This could be because of the style of tattoo, size, or location - they don’t mean they’re not possible, or a bad idea, just that I’m not the one to tackle this project for you!

  • When you receive your response I will give you an estimated range, and you can expect to pay within that range. Prices generally don’t change, but can if there is a major design or size change or add-ons.

  • Yes, the minimum is $125 per person. Regardless of size, or how small the tattoo is, we still have to use the same process to deliver your art. This includes email communication, designing, set up/set down and other behind the scenes tasks that go into the process.

  • Yes! In order to book your new ink, you must fill out the booking form + pay the required deposit. Appointments help to allow time for design + suit your schedule the best. If you are booking multiple pieces in one session, we will advise you if your selected date does not have enough time available.

    If you are booking a bundle, but decide to go smaller or fewer pieces at the time of your appointment, you are still responsible for the original bundle pricing.

    Deposits of $50 are required to secure your booking. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE and any changes to the appointment must be made 48 hours prior to the scheduled start time. If an appointment is rescheduled more than twice, a new deposit will be required to book.

    The deposit will be taken off the total cost of your tattoo, but in the event of last-minute cancellations, late-arrivals (more than 15 mins), lack of ID or no-shows the deposit will be forfeited.

  • All artwork is made custom for you (apart from repeatable flash pieces). Please provide a few inspiration photos for design and placement, and wait for your custom piece to be designed for you! We all remember how bad plagiarism was in school, and in the tattoo world it is just the same. No one wants to have their work copied, nor do I want to directly copy anyone’s work!

    Artwork is typically sent out a few days before the appointment for complex pieces, or shown at the time of the appointment for simpler designs. All designs will be finalized at the time of the appointment. Please communicate openly about design preferences or any concerns you have!

    Minor design changes can be accommodated at your appointment.

    If you are changing your artwork, please advise a very minimum of 48 hours prior to your appointment time to allow for redesign. If for any reason the redesign cannot be done prior to your scheduled appointment, it will be rebooked to allow adequate time for the redesign. There may be additional charges.

  • If you have any health conditions or concerns, you should consult with your doctor.

    They will tell you if there are any issues or contraindications prior to you making an appointment!

    Take a look at the precare guide - and ask any and all questions you have!

  • You must be at least 18, and bring government issued ID.

    Read our precare Instructions on the CARE page!

    Please respect your artist, come showered, exfoliated and ready to rock! If you are prone to dry skin make sure you moisturize leading up to your appointment. If you have a lot of body hair in the area you would like to get your tattoo, please shave prior to your appointment - just don’t nick yourself, get razor burn or use any wax/chemical hair removers!

    *If you are getting finger or hand tattoos - make sure to wash your hair before your appointment, we will need to keep them from getting too wet during the healing process.

  • It is best to advise a health care professional before getting a tattoo if you are on any medications. This is for your safety. Please avoid taking supplements, blood thinners or ibuprofen prior to your appointment - only if it is safe to do so. If you are not sure, please contact your doctor.

    There are certain contraindications to tattooing including: diabetes, psoriasis and allergic dermatitis.

  • Due to potential risks to both mother and child, it is highly advised against getting any tattooing while pregnant or nursing. Therefore, I will not be accepting any clients that are pregnant or nursing.

  • Clients are okay to bring one friend/family member with you to your appointment.

    No Children in the area under any circumstances.

  • Fineline tattoos are a specialized style. They are made of thin, delicate linework and shading. Fineline techniques require very small, fine needles. This means the ink load to the skin is less than when using a traditional tattoo needle size. Hence, they can heal lighter and softer than traditional style tattoos.

  • No problem! You can book a touch up anytime after the initial 4 week mark. There is a $20 tray fee that goes towards the cost of materials and set up, but my touch up time is always included. There are a number of factors as how tattoo s heal: a persons skin, lifestyle, aftercare, tattoo style, and so many more. The smaller the tattoo - the lighter the tattoo can heal, which may require touch ups!
