About 1-3 months before your intended tattoo appointment, I will email you with an opening for your (first) tattoo appointment. If the date and time works for you, I’ll go ahead and book it and then send you a link to schedule a consultation (if needed), preferably around a month prior to the tattoo appointment. Please be prompt in responding, as delays in booking bogs down my whole scheduling process! If your tattoo will take multiple sessions, I may reach out again via email to book consecutive appointments, typically 4-5 weeks apart.

Please keep in mind my wait times are uncertain! I will try to keep you posted on possible wait times but unfortunately I cannot guarantee a time frame. Weekends are the furthest booked out, followed by evenings. If you change your mind about getting tattooed, please email me to let me know! Also, significant changes to your tattoo concept may result in your name being moved to the end of the wait list.

-WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE CONSULTATION:

I offer consultations via Zoom or in person. An in person consultation is a face to face meeting where I can see and trace or take photos of the area to be tattooed. This is necessary if the tattoo is a cover up, if we’re working around other pieces, or if it is a large piece that wraps the full limb or covers an entire body part. This includes full and half sleeves, leg sleeves, full back piece or torso. At the meeting we will discuss what you’re wanting, the size, placement, and style. It is a good time to discuss any questions/concerns/aftercare, and book a drawing consultation if one is wanted. The consultation typically takes up to half an hour. You’re welcome to bring any images of your reference material and/or example images. Print outs are great but you can also email them to me before or after the meeting. After discussing your tattoo I will be able to give you a rough estimate of the time and cost.

-THE DEPOSIT:

At the end of the consultation, you will need to leave a non refundable deposit of $100. I accept cash, PayPal, or Venmo. The deposit is project specific (meaning only the tattoo we’ve discussed, barring any drastic changes!) and completely NON-REFUNDABLE. It is applied toward the cost of the tattoo at the first tattoo appointment. Situations that may lead to forfeiture of the deposit include: not showing up for your appointment, less than 24 hours notice of cancellation, repeated cancellations, or significant changes in the design after drawing has begun. *COVID RELATED CANCELLATIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF DEPOSITS.

-CHECKLIST:

• -$100, can be cash or Venmo/PayPal

• -printouts of relevant images, or can email them

• -wear clothing that allows access to the area to be tattooed

Due to the proprietary nature of the artwork created for the eventual tattoo, I do not send out sketches prior to the tattoo appointment. 

Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you might have! Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you!
