How do i book an appointment?
1
To get started all you need to do it fill out your information on the Contact Me page. I’ll reach out to you via text or email and pin down all the details you want include in your piece. From there, you can book remotely using my booking link, or we can get you booked during an in-person consultation.
When you arrive to my studio the first step is always sharing with you the completed design I have prepared for you. I always book with enough wiggle room to play with the design should you want to make any changes. Once the drawing has been approved I will sanitize and prep your skin for the stencil placement. You’ll be able to check the stencil out in the mirror for approval, and then once we’re both happy with the placement, the tattooing begins! When the piece is finished I’ll bandage you up and inform you of my preferred aftercare routine and products.

Do you have a deposit policy?
3
Yes, every appointment must be secured with a nonrefundable deposit that will come off the total price of your tattoo the day of your appointment. The deposit is non-transferable and, if something should come up that delays your appointment, I can hang onto your deposit for up to three months.
What is your pricing?

There are two ways I price a tattoo. If it’s something that can be done in a single session, in two hours or less, then I will price it by the piece. Typically, a piece priced on it’s own will not exceed $350, although that is not a hard and fixed cap. The second way I will price a piece is by the hour. If the piece will take longer than two hours, or is large enough to be split into several sessions, it will be charged by the hour. My current hourly is $150 an hour. I am happy to budget out a piece with you so that we know exactly how much you would like to pay per each session.
what will i need for the day of my appointment?

The most important thing to bring with you is your Drivers License or your government approved ID. This includes a Passport, state ID or military ID. On the day of your appointment you’ll want to wear appropriate clothing for the area we’ll be working on. I try to be as neat as I can with my inks, but sometimes ink can get onto your clothing near the tattoo. The ink does stain, so make sure to wear something you wouldn’t mind being tie dyed by yours truly. I would encourage you to bring a bottle of water, and a soda, or tea to sip on. The studio can be chilly at times, so I would recommend you bring a jacket and/or small blanket with you. Feel free to bring headphones, a book, a tablet anything you may prefer to bring as distraction.
Can i use numbing cream?
6
Yes. I recommend a few different brands of cream, though it’s always important to look for the one that works the best for you and your skin. I always recommend a test patch on a small area of skin before your appointment to make sure you don’t have an adverse reaction. Before you book, make sure to tell me you’d like to use numbing cream, and I can instruct you on the proper application to ensure the best possible results from the product.
Can i change my design after i’ve already booked an appointment?
7
Yes. I understand that sometimes visions change, and that’s okay! You’re free to make changes to your design concept up to 48 hours before your appointment.
Yes. In the state of Florida, minors aged 16-17 are able to be tattooed with parent/guardian consent. To book as a minor I require an in-person consultation with the parent/guardian to discus the details of the piece. I will ONLY tattoo minors from the shoulder to the wrist, and the knee to the ankle, with no exceptions. You will need to provide on the day of the appointment a notarized form from the department of health found here, the minors state ID, and the parent/guardians state ID. The parent/guardian must remain in the studio for the whole length of the session and must give final approval on size and placement.
Do you tattoo minors?

Sometimes life happens, and that’s okay! If you need to reschedule your appointment, let me know at least 24 hours before your appointment time and we can reschedule your deposit to a new day. If you reschedule within the 24 hour period before your appointment your deposit is forfeit and a new deposit will need to be made to reschedule. If you’re not quite sure what day would be best to reschedule for, no worries. I’ll hold onto your deposit for up to three months, so you have time to pick out the best day that works for you.

Can i bring a friend with me?
You can absolutely bring a friend with you, though my studio is a single room, so I ask that you bring only one person with you.
I encourage you bring with you water, and a soda or tea to sip on during your appointment. While we’re not able to eat in my studio room, you are welcome to pack some snacks or a lunch for longer appointments, and we can take a break outside or in the break room.
