Studio policies
Welcome!
These policies are here to make sure things run smoothly and respectfully for everyone. They help me prepare for your session, protect both our time, and create the best possible experience from start to finish.
Please take a moment to read through before booking your tattoo!
Deposit
To lock in your appointment, I require a 20$ deposit — it goes toward the total cost of your tattoo.
Why? A booking means I prepare artwork, materials, and hold that time for you - which means turning down other clients.
This gives me the opportunity to set everything up just for you before you come in, and ensures everyone’s time is respected.
Here’s a quick break down:
∙ The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel.
∙ If you need to reschedule, no problem — as long as you let me know at least 48 hours before your appointment, your deposit carries over.
∙ No-shows or last-minute cancellations (less than 48h) mean the deposit is forfeited. A new one will be required to book again.
Thanks for understanding! This helps me make the most of my time and offer a better experience for everyone.
Rates
I don’t charge by the hour. Instead, I work on a flat rate system, since handpoked tattoos are slow by nature.
Pricing starts at 100$ (outside of any studio deals) and depends on the size, placement, and design complexity.
Consent form
Before we start, I’ll ask you to fill out a short consent form.
It’s a standard step to make sure you’re comfortable and fully informed.
Intoxication
For safety reasons, I can’t tattoo anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If you arrive noticeably intoxicated, I won’t be able to proceed — and the deposit will be forfeited.
Thanks for understanding.
Aftercare & Touch-ups
At the end of your session, I’ll give you a card with aftercare steps so you know exactly how to take care of your new tattoo.
I also have a tattoo balm made with natural ingredients, and I’m happy to recommend pharmacy options if you prefer.
It’s your job to care for your healing tattoo, but I’m here if things need adjusting. I offer free touch-ups when aftercare has been followed. Sometimes skin just needs a little extra love—every body heals differently.
