CONTACT & BOOKING
The best way to contact me is by filling out the form found on the previous page. I'll reply with availability and more details by e-mail. This form is important because it answers all the key questions I need to quote you properly & make sure your needs are met. It also allows me to remain organized by having all of this information in one place. Keep an eye on your junk folder as many of my e-mails end up there.
While I will answer most messages, I prefer not to discuss projects over social media or text message.
Once a date is determined, 3 e-mails are sent :
• One outlining price & more details about appointment
• One confirming date & time of appointment
• One link to pay deposit to secure the appointment. This amount is subtracted from the final amount of your tattoo.
ARTWORK
• Small tattoos are shown at the beginning of the appointment
• Medium, simple tattoos are shown the night before the appointment, unless requested otherwise.
• Large, complex custom pieces are typically shown 2-3 days before the appointment. The price quoted in advance includes 3 sets of revisions. If more sketches are required, this could be subject to a fee - be clear in your instructions and provide visual examples when needed.
• Sketches are copy-written, must not be reproduced & belong to the artist until the tattoo is performed. I will not copy other artists' work, with the exception of some pop culture, logos or writing.

16/17yrs with parental consent. For first tattoos, a consultation is required to discuss the project in advance with parents present.

Price per project → Although I do my best to estimate accurately, Total cost is determined at the end of the appointment & depends on final size, details & time required to finish the project.
CONSULTATION
• Less than 30mins - Free
• If you do not show up for your consultation, a non-refundable 50$ deposit may be requested to book again.
"STENCIL APPOINTMENT "
As as bonus service, I offer an appointment where you're able to come in, discuss the design, the size, the placement, and leave with a temporary stencil on your skin so that you're able to observe the design on your skin for a few days.
This is a great option for first timers or people who are unsure if they're ready to commit to a permanent tattoo. It also allows you to visualize and make any necessary changes to the design before commiting to the real thing!
There is a 50$ fee applied to this service & it is NOT deducted from the final price of your tattoo.
TOUCH UPS
Touch Ups are free within 3months of getting the tattoo, excluding high touch body parts (Feet, Hands, Fingers, Elbows, Knees).
These locations can be touched up for a fee.
I always encourage my clients to come for their touch-ups at the same time as their next tattoo!
DEPOSITS
A deposit of 50$+tx (Debit or Credit) must be made in order to book the appointment. This is taken off the total price of your tattoo. The deposit is a contract between the client and the artist: by paying the deposit, you agree to abide by all the terms and conditions of this document & all other forms that the artist will have you sign. This deposit is non-refundable under many circumstances*
*CANCELLATION POLICY
Within 5 days (120 hours) before your appointment
time, the ENTIRE deposit is non-refundable if:
• you reschedule or cancel your appointment MORE THAN ONCE.
• you reschedule or cancel your SATURDAY or SUNDAY appointment.
• the artist has already sent you your sketch in advance.
• you had a 30min consultation
• you arrive to your appointment under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• your tattoo idea has changed & requires a new drawing, without previous discussion
• your skin is unable to be tattooed due to sunburn or skin condition
• the artist has incurred additional costs for your tattoo (e.g. purchase of specific ink colour).
WHAT IS A HANDPOKED TATTOO?
Handpoke • Stick n' poke • Machine Free Tattooing
Handpoked tattoos are done without an electric machine. The same needles & ink are used but lines & shading are done one dot at a time. The process is slower, more gentle & in most cases, much less painful than a machine tattoo. Handpoke tattoos can have a very unique aesthetic.
IMPORTANT INFO
