Free Adhesive Bandage Test? (Saniderm, Second Skin, Tegaderm)
-Adhesive bandages are a protective layer or cover over your tattoo offered as an alternative to plastic wrap bandages
-The biggest advantage of this bandaging is that it seals the tattoo, protecting it from dirt and bacteria, and is lower maintenance
-Generally, adhesive bandages are left on your tattoo anywhere from 12hrs-7days, depending on the brand
-Some people are allergic or sensative to adhesives or certain brands of adhesive bandages
-An adhesive bandage test can be offer before or during your tattoo session to determine if a reaction to the bandaging is likely to occur during healing
Preferences and Considerations for Custom Requests?
-I am more likely to book designs based on mystical concepts, hybrid humanoid creatures, and designs reflective of nature, animals, botanicals, life and death, good and evil, light and dark, water and fire, elemental spirits, harmony of balance, macabre subject matter, etc.
-I love heavy black outlines, stipple or pepper shading, and high contrast designs
-I prefer large scale, multi-session pieces such as thigh and back pieces and will likely say yes to those first
-I will not tattoo another person's desings without their express or written permission
-I will not tattoo swastikas or other symbols of hate
-I will not tattoo designs or words in a language and/or culture that is of no relation to the client, the client's experiences, family or ancestry
Request Replies?
-Replies can take up to and beyond 3 weeks to get through.
-I will respond to approved design requests firsts
-If you opted to receive texts/calls regarding your request from me your response will likely be faster
-I will never give your number away or use your contact information to offer or solicit services so please beware of scammers
-The number I use for booking is a business line and is availble to established clients for questions or concerns regarding their tattoo, upcoming session, cancellations/rescheduling, healing process, revising design ideas etc. it is NOT to be used in place of the booking form. Any persons requesting a tattoo must first fill in the booking form and wait for a response.

-Please arrive masked per our covid policy. Clients can expect to remain masked throughout their appointment

-If you have scheduled a long session plan on bringing a snack or meal
-There will be small items and water available, however I am not aware of each individuals dietary needs/concerns
-Please be aware that alcohol and certain medications such as aspirin in the blood stream can act as a blood thinner or blood "slicker" and cause excess bleeding during tattooing

-Please wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move/remove from the part of your body we are tattooing, and will be non-constricting and non-abrasive to the tattooed area after your session
-Be aware that the clothes you bring may end up with permanent ink stains. Might be best to leave your favorite sweater from your favorite grandma at home
