This section is to help me understand your personal practices in navigating COVID. As your tattoo artist I will be wearing a proper mask at all times during our session and expect the same. Please be thoughtful, detailed and most importantly honest with me.

In getting a tattoo we are taking a risk together. To do so well mutual trust is needed to harm reduce as much as possible. This has always been true of tattooing, nowdays in more ways than one. These questions below will help start that process.

I am high risk due to multiple health conditions and being on immunosupressant medication. I have been vaccinated for COVID and got my last booster done late October 2022. I am not able to get vaccinated for Monkey Pox because of my medication.

I always mask indoors except in intentional situations with people i trust, which with an abundance of care. I wear a mask in group situations that are crowed or aren't able to be distanced too. I take COVID and it's varients seriously and see public health as interpersonal responsibility. I will do my best to share updates my practices around COVID should they change in the future.

Please do feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding this and I promise to answer honestly and to the best of my ability!

Recently I've learned that Monkey Pox poses some pretty serious risks to tattoo clients, you'll find some links bellow providing information on that.

Have you been vaccinated fully for COVID? How many boosters have you had?*

What does your personal protocol look like around COVID precautions and safety in your everyday life? *

Please be thurough, honest & detailed! Think PPE usage, social habbits, work habbits, risks you take etc.

Can you commit to bringing and wearing a N95 mask or equivelant during our entire session?*
