Thanks for your interest in booking a tattoo with me! I am currently working out of a studio near Granville Island called Dewdrop Studio located at 2123 Granville Street, right beside a flower shop. The studio is located up a flight of stairs on the second floor, and is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. If this is a problem for you, let me know, and we can arrange an appointment at a different location that has an elevator. Parking in the immediate vicinity is a bit difficult, so public transit is the most convenient way to get to the studio.
A non-refundable deposit of $100 CAD is required to secure your appointment time, and will go towards the cost of your tattoo. I charge fixed prices per piece instead of hourly and can give you a pretty exact estimate based on how specific you are on the size. If you decide to get a bigger size the day of your tattoo there will be an increase in price reflective of the change of size. Deposits can be sent through Paypal (transaction marked as friends & family) or Interac e-Transfer.
If you want to reschedule your appointment and let me know 48 hours beforehand, your deposit will carry over. If you let me know after the 48 hour mark/cancel/don't show up, your deposit will be forfeit :(
If you do not reply within 48 hours of my email (sent from jaimie.y.kim@gmail.com) you may lose your time slot.
If you are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment, your appointment will be cancelled and your deposit will not roll over if you want to reschedule.
For custom designs please be sure you've looked at my previous work/designs and like the style I work in. I might refuse your request if I feel that it falls too far outside my range of interests, for example: religious imagery, geometry, colour, portraits, realism. Be as specific as you can when describing what you want, and include as many reference images as you can! Even a very rough sketch will help. If there is a tattoo I've already done that you like the look of, please include a screenshot of that as well. I will show you the design at your appointment and we can make minor changes and adjustments together before tattooing. I do not show clients designs before the appointment.
I do not tattoo faces, hands, feet, or genitals. I do not tattoo minors, even with parental permission.
Unfortunately the bed I use to tattoo has a weight capacity of 450 lbs. I might be able to accommodate heavier clients for certain placements like the forearm that don't require you to be lying down. If this applies to you, please let me know and I will do my best to work something out!
I am currently only booking Vancouver appointments for September, October, and November 2025
