FAQs

  • Check out my portfolio page and click the button at the top. This will redirect you to a booking request form. Please note that I can turn down a request if I don't feel like the piece is something I'd feel comfortable doing.

  • I currently work a rate of $140 per hour. This will be going up to $150, then $160 as I feel comfortable. I do not charge for consultations or breaks! Drawing time is included in the hourly rate.

  • I accept debit and credit cards. E-transfer works in a pinch.

  • Please try giving as much notice as possible for cancellations and rescheduling (48 hours if possible). I understand emergencies happen, but please consider that if you cancel last minute, I wont have time to book anybody else in for that slot. This can be a BIG loss for me, especially if its a larger or all day piece. I do not take a deposit, but if you cancel with no notice twice in a row, I will require one for your future bookings.

  • Touch-ups are currently $10. This covers half of the set-up fee~ I want my stuff looking its best, so please don't be afraid to reach out on my Instagram DMS to book a quick session!

    Touch-ups are free if done in the same session as a new tattoo.

    Pieces done while I worked at Mystic Moon Tattoos are subject to free touch-ups!

    Touch-ups on pieces not originally done by my will be charged my hourly rate.

  • Yes! Please only bring one though, as we don't have enough room to host more. Too many people crowding the work station can be very stressful and overwhelming for the artist.

  • No. You MUST be 18 or older, no exceptions (even with parental consent)!

  • I don't typically do cover-ups unless the tattoo is quite small, or very light.

  • Please shoot me another message! I try my best but sometimes lose track of things. If you are waiting for a tattoo design, please be patient. I try my best to get the design out the weekend before your appointment, but while balancing classes at TRU, things may get pushed back.

  • I have tested numbing creams on myself, and tattooed with them on. Based on my personal experience, the lack of research on them, and horror stories I've seen, I'd prefer if you didn't use them for my appointments.

    I do have Bactine as an option instead, which is used widely within the industry. It's a spray, and can be used for some relief during particularly spicy spots!

  • Will tattoo:

    • Fantasy (especially dark fantasy)

    • Creepy crawlies

    • Horror

    • Foliage and floral

    • Nerdy stuff

    Won't Tattoo

    • Anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic

    • Anything culturally appropriative

    • Full solid colour pieces

  • Do not tan while your tattoo is healing (4-6 weeks). The sun will always cause damage to your tattoo, especially during the early stages.

    You also don't want to soak your tattoo, as this can lead to ink fallout and raise the likelihood of infection- especially in nasty water.

  • If I can tell that you're high, drunk, or any type of intoxicated, I will not tattoo you.

  • A tattoo infection is always a possibility- we've all been through it! If your tattoo is reddish around the edges and feels a bit tender after 3-4 days, there is a chance its infected. If you catch it early, it should heal up fine with some polysporin twice a day. Keep it dry as possible, clean, and don't touch it with dirty, unwashed hands.

    Severe infection will require a doctor and antibiotics.

    If you're concerned, shoot me an email or DM me on instagram with some pictures so I can try to give you a hand.

    Dealing with an infection may mean you need some touch-ups once it's fully healed.

  • Typically no, however if you want some lines adjusted or a piece retouched/fixed, I may be able to help depending on the piece.

    Obviously if the artist who started the tattoo made you uncomfy, I'll do my best to give you a hand. This may mean referring you to another artist.
