It all starts with an email. Please describe your tattoo and placement.
We'll then book a consult to hammer out the details of your design.
After that we'll set up an appointment for the tattoo. Multiple on large projects.
A booking fee is required to hold your appointments.
It's non-refundable and comes off the last booked session.
48 hours notice is required to move or cancel an appointment.
Anything less and your booking fee is forfeit.
And no-shows also forfeit their booking fee.
With both these scenarios, a new booking fee
will be required to rebook or hold onto future bookings.
Designs are created the day before your appointment.
They will be available at the time of your appointment.
I DO NOT SEND DESIGNS BY EMAIL OR SET UP VIEWINGS.
I design digitally. And modifications can be made the day of.
Within reason. I hit the nail on the head 98% of the time. So it's
not a common occurrence...
Minimum charge is $120. tax included.
This includes all tattoos under 30 minutes.
On small projects. Less than a whole day.
My hourly rate is $220/hour tax included.
On whole day appointments. Single or multiple
It's day rate. $1200/day tax included.
Your tattoo will be wrapped in second skin.
It comes in many brand names and sizes.
But it's essentially all the same.
A small amount of fluid/plasma under the wrap is normal.
A giant puddle that obstructs the view of the tattoo is also normal.
BUT!!! Don't leave it there. Either......
A: work fluid under the edge of the second skin if possible.
without removing bandage.
B: or come back to the shop with your tattoo still wrapped
in the second skin. And we'll clean and re-wrap it for you.
C: If unable to to complete options A: or B:
please unwrap the tattoo
and wash gently with antibacterial soap.
pat dry and leave open to the air.
With no fluid or a re-wrap. Please leave the bandage on for 3-4 days.
Remove in the shower, and clean gently with antibacterial soap.
Pat dry and leave open to the air.
Start to apply moisturizer the following day. Small amount of
unscented white lotion. As basic as it gets.
Once... Maybe twice a day.
NEVER pick or scratch...
I'll know if you do. 🤓
You're tattoo will typically flake like a sunburn.
Never pick at the loose skin. If it's still there....
It's still attached.
You're body will initially heal in about 1-2 weeks.
You're skin will still be shiny and making new layers for a couple months.
Please keep moisturizing. And avoid scratching and itching as much as possible.
You don't want to promote scar tissue.
Good luck!
If for any reason you're not satisfied with you HEALED tattoo
Please reach out to me.
I will be more than happy to make it Fabulous for you.
Please understand that you may have to wait for the tattoo to be healed enough for a second pass.
And touch-ups are FREE!!!
Provided that it is a recent tattoo.
Showing up with a tattoo that is many years old doesn't count.
I'll still be happy to refresh it for you. But it will cost something.
Cover-ups and/or reworks are taken on a case by case basis.
I only allow so much time in my schedule to be devouted to this sort of project.
They are extremely challenging. And are completely at my discretion.
Meaning... if I say it has to be a certain way. It has to be that way.
End of discussion. I don't let the client drive the car. And I don't argue over this point.
So don't ask for a cover-up or rework if you're not 100% open.
This isn't about you getting the tattoo you think you want.
It's about working with what's already there to make the best possible outcome.
I have over 17 years experience with cover-ups and reworks.
I make it look like magic. But it's actually very strategic planning.
AND... PLEASE READ THIS PART FIRST>>>
Black and grey realism is the last thing you want to use for cover-ups...
