Q: Do I need to pay a deposit to book an appointment?
A: Yes. A non-refundable $75 deposit is required to secure your tattoo appointment. This amount will go toward your total on the day of your session. It also covers the time spent preparing your design and guarantees your time slot.

Q: How is the tattoo pricing calculated?
A: Each tattoo is priced based on size, complexity, placement, and estimated time. You’ll receive a time estimate in advance. If your tattoo takes longer than expected, you won’t be charged extra. If it takes less time, you’ll only be charged for the time used, rounded to the nearest 30-minute block.

Q: Do you offer any discounts on tattoos?
A: Yes! We’re currently offering 25% off tattoos of 1 hour or longer.
Please note: Our minimum tattoo price is $100, and the discount does not apply to minimum-charge tattoos.

Q: What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
A: We understand life happens. You may reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours’ notice and your deposit will transfer to your new date (once only). If you cancel or reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, or no-show your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited.

Q: What if I need to pause my session before the booked time is up?
A: If you need to stop early during the tattoo due to pain or fatigue, that's completely okay. You'll only be charged for the time worked, and the remaining hours will be scheduled as a new session at the same hourly rate—no extra fees apply in this case.

Your original deposit will carry over, as long as the follow-up is scheduled within 60 days of and at least two weeks after your initial appointment.

Q: How long do I have to re-book my follow-up session?
A: To keep your deposit credit intact, please re-book within 60 days of your original appointment. After 60 days, any unused time credits will expire.

Q: Why do you have these policies?
A: These guidelines help us maintain our premium luxury service and ensure your artist can give each piece the uninterrupted focus and craftsmanship it deserves—while offering you maximum comfort and flexibility.

Q: Can I take breaks during my session?
A: Absolutely. We build in a 5–10 minute break after each hour—for your comfort and my health. Feel free to stretch, hydrate, or use the restroom without impacting your booked time.

Q: What amenities do you provide for comfort?
A:

• Luxury Quality Care: Plush spa chair, cozy pillow/blanket, and TV with your favorite movie/show.

• Pain Management: Pre-application numbing cream (per request) plus gel/spray numbing during your session.

• Refreshments: Bottled water, herbal tea, coffee and light snacks to keep you energized.

Q: Do you use numbing products?
A: Yes. Upon request, we apply a topical numbing cream before the session. Please note it must be applied at least one hour prior to starting the tattoo, so let us know in advance if you'd like to use it. I also have alcohol-free numbing gels and sprays available during the session to help reduce discomfort without affecting tattoo quality.

Q: Will numbing affect the ink’s appearance?
A: All numbing products used during the session are tattoo-safe and won’t affect the ink—your lines will stay crisp and colors true. However, topical numbing cream applied before the session can sometimes cause slight swelling or raised skin, which may distort very delicate or fine-line designs. If you're considering numbing for a highly detailed piece, we’ll discuss the best approach during your consultation.

Q: Why do I need to re-book leftover time instead of just continuing?
A: Sterile setup, stencil alignment, and station preparation take time and materials. Treating the leftover hours as a new appointment ensures top hygiene and precise artistry every time.

Q: What safety protocols do you follow?
A:

• Single-use needles and sterile disposable supplies

• Black nitrile gloves changed between clients and when needed

• Full surface disinfection of all touchpoints before and after each session
