FAQs

What is the booking process like?

After sending your inquiry, you’ll receive a response (within 3-4 business days) with price quotes & available dates to book. A deposit is required to confirm your booking which goes towards your total payment. For new clients, a $100+HST deposit is required. For returning clients, a $50+HST is required.

Once your deposit payment has been received, you’ll be sent a Google calendar invite with all the appointment details.

For custom designs, a design preview will be sent to you 2-3 days before your appointment date. Edits can be made during this time. The final design draft must be confirmed prior to your appointment date! (This is to avoid last minute changes, allowing you to be sure of the tattoo.)

what is the booking timeframe?

I am typically booking at least 1 month ahead, so please be sure to book in advance if you’re looking to get tattooed on or before a certain date.

what is pricing like?

Each tattoo is priced individually. $150+HST is the studio minimum for custom designs, but budgets can be accommodated when possible!

You will be informed of the total tattoo cost when booking, which will not change (unless size/design changes are made during the appointment). Your deposit will be deducted from your final cost.

what payment methods are accepted?

All payments are taken through Square. Accepted payment methods are credit/debit only. I no longer accept cash or etransfer.

walk-ins?

As an independent artist, I cannot accommodate walk-ins. I work by appointment only so please ensure you have a confirmed appointment before arriving!

consultations?

Yes! Free consultations are available if you’d like to discuss your idea in person before booking. Send me an email or message on Instagram if you’d like to book a consultation.

finger tattoos?

Yes, although this area does not hold ink well & is very likely to fade or disappear entirely after healing. Typically, fingers require multiple sessions to get the desired outcome. They also need to be bold enough to ensure the ink stays in the skin. Due to this, fingers are not eligible for a free touch-up.

colour tattoos?

While I specialize in black and grey, I can definitely do colour when requested. Please let me know when booking what colour(s) you’d like so I can make sure I have them!

cover-ups & reworks?

Yes I do cover-ups & reworks! The existing tattoo you’d like covered up or reworked must be small enough to allow me to work within a fineline style to create something that incorporates and/or covers the area.

touch-up policy?

My 60-day free touch-up policy is available to all clients following their final tattoo session. (Please note that hand, feet, elbows & armpit placements are not eligible for free a touch-up.)

Your free touch-up must be claimed within 60 days from the date of your original tattoo session. This period allows ample time for healing and for any potential need for touch-ups to become apparent.

Touchups rescheduled because of a missed appointment / no-show will result in a varying touch-up fee when rescheduling.

This policy covers minor touch-ups that are typical within the first few weeks of healing. It does not cover major alterations or additions to the original design. Free touch-ups are contingent on proper aftercare of your tattoo. Failure to follow the aftercare guidelines may void this offer.

CANCELLATION/LATE policy?

Rescheduling within 24 hours of your appointment will forfeit your deposit. A new one will be required to reschedule.

Arriving late to your appointment may result in your appointment being cancelled/rescheduled, if it impacts the client booked after you. Please arrive on time!
