FAQs

What do you tattoo?

I prefer bold illustrative designs and do not tattoo single-needle, extremely fine detail heavy designs. I work primary with black and grey but can include accents of color in the design. I come from an illustrative background and am not set on one particular style, although Asian aesthetics are a common theme in my pieces. If you’d like a particular style, make sure to include plenty of references so I have a better grasp of your vision for the final design.

What is the Booking Process?

Fill out the Booking Form

If you’re selected, I’ll respond within 7 days. If not, I’ll send you a response as soon as I can. If not selected, I’ll try to explain what part of your form doesn’t work. *Rejected inquiries may not receive a reply*.

Consultations will be done via email. I’ll work with you to finalize your concept, placement, and answer any questions you may have. If we’re a good match, we’ll pick a date for you to come in and get tattooed.

A tattoo deposit of $150 is required to secure a date. This is non-refundable and will go towards the total cost of your tattoo.

I will send a draft of your drawing to you several days prior to your appointment so that we can work on finalizing the design.

The final design will be shown to you in person at your tattoo appointment. I set aside extra time for each appointment in case additional updates are needed.

However, if more than 50% of the illustration requires reworking, you will be charged an additional drawing fee.

Tattoo day. Come prepared with photo ID, something to keep you occupied while being tattooed, and cash for final payment.

What payment methods do you accept?

For deposits, I accept Venmo, PayPal, and Cash (Dropped off at shop in person). On the day of the tattoo, cash is the only form of payment I accept.

What is the tipping policy?

Tips are greatly appreciated but not expected! It’s customary to tip 15 - 20% as most of our hourly rate goes towards shop rent, licensing fees, materials, and other dues as independent contractors. Tipping allows clients to directly support the artist.

(I understand that getting a tattoo can be a big investment and that not everyone can afford to factor a tip into the budget. As an alternate way of showing your appreciation, please consider leaving a positive review on Google/Yelp.)

What if I need to Cancel/Reschedule?

Once you have booked your appointment, the booking deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel or miss your appointment, your deposit will not be returned. In order to reschedule, you must contact me at least 72 hours before your appointment. *You are exempt from this if you are canceling/rescheduling due to Co-vid related issues.

What is your touch-up policy?

The first touch-up on all of my work is free within one years of completion. All future touch-ups will be charged prorated. Work must be healed for at least 4 weeks before a touch-up.
