Cancellation & Reschedule

There is a cancellation policy you have to wary of: I need to know at least 48 hours in advance for rescheduling or at least 72 hours in advance for canceling, or your non-refundable deposit will be forfeited. I allow one reschedule if notified before 48 hours. Please contact me asap if you need to change your appointment date or time.  

 

 

FLASH DESIGN

Color adjustments allowed for all flash (e.g., palette shift, saturation, choosing color vs. black/grey). No major changes. Non-repeatable flash is first-come, first-served. Once claimed and booked, it’s marked sold. Repeatable flash may have limited runs; availability can change at any time. 

Non-repeatable flash:  Unique design that will not be tattooed again. Once you book a non-repeatable flash design, you can’t switch designs.

Repeatable flash: Designs that can be tattooed multiple times(marked as repeatable on the sheet). You have one chance to switch to another design from the same flash sheet. Please request the switch at least 48 hours before your appointment.

CUSTOM DESIGN

After you book a custom design session, the design will be show on the appointment date. You can't switch the whole design. But we will perform three free rounds of simple revisions in the studio that day. 

Three rounds of free edits. After this, additional $50 will be added for each round, up to two rounds. If you are worried that we can't complete the design, please book flash instead of custom design :) 

If I think it is necessary to confirm the design with you, I will show you the design one day before the appointment and make revision on the day of the appointment. This depends on my work experience.

*I know this sounds strict, but it will be the most efficient method. Please fill in this bookimg form carefully, and I will design it strictly according to your requirements!

FREEHAND

On-site creation in my style (no full redesign; minor same-day tweaks only)

Description
On your appointment day, I draw directly on skin based on your theme/keywords. I work only in my own style. There is no advance preview (I may share a quick on-skin sketch at my discretion).

Revisions
Up to 3 simple same-day tweaks (placement, scale, small line/detail). After that, $50 per extra round, max 2 rounds. No changes to the overall concept/composition.

References
References are for vibe/inspiration only — no copies or trace-overs.

If you need more control
Please book Flash or Custom Design instead.

Please understand this is freehand, on-site creation in the artist’s own style. No full redesign; simple same-day tweaks only. 

COVER-UP

Cover-ups can heal slower and may appear darker during early healing. Follow aftercare closely (no sun/soaking/picking/alcohol). A refine session may be suggested after full healing if needed.

What counts as a cover-up?

• Cover-up: Designing to disguise an existing tattoo or scar so it’s no longer the focal point.
  Rework/Refresh: Improving linework/shading/color without hiding the original.
• Blast-over (optional): A new design placed over an old one with some intentional show-through.
• I’ll confirm which approach fits your case during consultation.

Eligibility & Evaluation

• Send clear, straight-on photos in natural light with a ruler/coin for scale (close-up + 2 angled views).
• We do not work over active wounds, infected skin, or unstable scars. As a rule of thumb, scars should be 12+ months healed and flat/pale.
• If you have a history of keloids or severe scarring, please disclose it; your safety comes first.

Design Principles

• For best results, cover-ups require creative freedom and are typically larger and darker/denser than the original.
• Final artwork stays within the artist’s style.
• No major redesigns day-of. Minor, same-day tweaks (placement, scale within limits, small lines/details) are possible.

Color & Realism Limits

• Old black/blue pigments are hardest to hide and may require bold shapes, texture, and contrast.
• White/skin-tone/pastels do not “erase” old tattoos; we don’t rely on white ink to cover.
• Expect the new design to be at least ~30% larger than the area being covered.
• Laser lightening may be recommended beforehand to improve outcomes.

Photos & Prep

• Front/straight-on view with ruler/coin
• Left/right angle views
• Room-light, no filters, showing the surrounding area/placement
