PROCESS & TERMS OF SERVICE
PRE-TATTOO
once I receive your form I will get back to you by email with the location of the appointment and date options.
free in-person consultations: a consultation may be required for more complex pieces or placements. if you are feeling nervous or want to talk in person about your project, feel free to request a consultation!
for custom tattoos: you can expect to receive a sketch 1-3 days before your appointment. at this point you can give me feedback and make any major compositional changes. minor changes can be made on the day of your appointment.
tattoo prep: for best results keep your body well hydrated and your skin moisturized for at least 1 week leading up to the appointment. make sure to come to your appointment fed and hydrated, well rested and don't plan anything strenuous for after your tattoo. ensure your skin is not sunburnt as it won't be possible to tattoo you. let me know if you have any questions!
POST-TATTOO
for three weeks or until your tattoo is healed:
-
do not submerge yourself in water (no baths or swimming)
-
avoid direct sunlight for extended periods of time
-
do not wear tight straps over the tattoo
-
plan to have a regular cleaning schedule
you can familiarize yourself with the aftercare instructions here

you may reschedule up to 1 week leading up to your appointment. your initial deposit can be used to reschedule TWICE for up to a year, after which point it will be forfeit. cancellation at any point will incur a complete forfeit of the deposit.
FOR GUEST SPOTS: due to advanced planning and travel costs, deposits for appointments made during a guest-spot will be forfeit when you postpone less than 1 month before the appointment. rescheduling with more than 1 month's notice will incur a 50% forfeit on your deposit.
