Booking Policies

Please read BEFORE booking.

  • Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you are more than 20 minutes late without communication, your appointment may be canceled, and your deposit forfeited. If you arrive 15 minutes late without communication, a $25 late fee will be added to your total.


    If you anticipate being late, please notify me as soon as possible. I will do my best to accommodate you, but adjustments may not always be possible due to other scheduled appointments that day. If we need to reschedule due to being late, your deposit will be honored for one reschedule.

  • Notify me with a 48-hour notice & your deposit can be transferred to a new date 1x.

    • Cancelling with less than a 48-hour notice will result in loss of deposit (emergencies do not count)

    • No call no showing will result in a forfeit of deposit and being blacklisted from future bookings with me. 

    • Harassment, inappropriate behavior, or disrespect of any kind will result in the immediate termination of the session without refund.

    • Clients must arrive sober (alcohol & 420) and prepared for their appointment. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

    • Please do not bring additional guests unless approved in advance (I typically allow 1 guest; unexpected guests just spike my anxiety! Thx for your understanding)

  • If you’re feeling unwell, message me ASAP to reschedule

    • If you or anyone you’ve been exposed to has tested positive for COVID-19, message me to reschedule

    • Please come to your appointment well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten.

    • Notify me of ANY medical conditions or allergies before our appointment. Including, but not limited to, latex, adhesives, certain ink pigments, petroleum, etc.

  • If you have any allergies, sensitivities, or accessibility needs, please notify me during the booking process so I can ensure the studio environment accommodates you.

    We have dogs at the studio often, so please let me know if you’re allergic, so that we can accommodate that!

  • The remaining balance is due after the session.

    I accept cash (!!), Zelle(!!) and Venmo.

    Venmo is accepted for DEPOSITS ONLY.

    Day of remaining balance must be paid via zelle or cash.

    Tips are greatly appreciated but not required! Can be non-monetary as well, like a sweet treat, a smoothie/matcha, cool stickers, good books, etc.

    Some of my favs:

    • Honey beary Juiceland Smoothie :D

    • Dairy-free chai, matcha, or boba

    • Blindboxes

    • Small cool trinkets

    • Art you guys make!

  • Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided at the end of your session. Please follow them closely to ensure proper healing.


    Once the tattoo is complete, it is your responsibility to care for it. I am not responsible for healing issues that arise from not following aftercare instructions.

 FAQs

  • Every session is personalized from start to finish with:

    • One-on-one attention & clear communication

    • Sensory accommodations (lighting, music, breaks, fidget toys, and snacks!)

    • Chronic illness–friendly pacing + support

    • Silent sessions available by request

    • A clean, trauma-informed, identity-affirming studio space

    I tattoo folks of all backgrounds and identities, and I mean that. This space is explicitly queer, disabled, and BIPOC safe. If there's anything I can do to make your appointment more accessible or safe, just let me know on your form!

  • Yes, below are the deposit amounts for varying appointment types:

    Flash Deposit: $100  |  Custom Deposit: $150

    Multi-session deposit/Tattoo over $500: $250

    This deposit is honored for one reschedule (48-hour advanced notice required), and is applied to the total cost of the tattoo day of appointment.

    — Conditions

    • Only forfeited in the case of a no-call, no-show or reschedule without 48 hours ' notice (aside from emergencies) — Last-minute cancellations or no-call, no-shows will require a new deposit to rebook. 

    • deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE, but transferable 1x if a reschedule is needed

  • Eat a good meal beforehand and arrive well hydrated (start drinking a lot of water at least 5 days before your appointment).

    Water will be readily available, just let me know if you’d like some, or a need a water bottle refill!
    Bringing a little snack or something sweet is always a good idea, but I’ll have some on hand if you forget!

    Please arrive sober (alcohol & 420) and avoid drinking alcoholic beverages the day before.

    Wear comfortable clothing and something that will be easy for you to be tattooed in, like a button-up for a sternum tattoo, a strapless top for a shoulder tattoo, etc. Dark colors are recommended as to avoid any damages from tattoo ink (that shit STAINS, trust me), I just don’t want u to be mad at me for staining your cool fit :’)

    Pasties & dental bibs are available if needed as well!

  • Cash, Zelle, Venmo, and card payments (tap only) are accepted.

    Cash & Zelle are always preferred to avoid additional fees!!

  • I typically respond to forms within 48-72hrs, if it's been longer than a week since submitting and you haven't heard from me, shoot me a dm on instagram @Ikaminks! 

  • I prioritize ideas that align with my style (think botanicals, abstract, and silly lil guys) I'm always down to hear your ideas!

    p.s. the more creative freedom, the better 🖤

Pricing guide

For both flash and customs, I price by piece depending on the sizing, placement, and complexity. Below are my standard rates:

  • Flash: Minimum: $150 - Hourly: $150/hr 

    Typically, my flash ranges from $150-$500.

  • Customs: Minimum $165 - Hourly: $165/hr 

    Customs typically range from $200-$600+.

  • Large Scale/Multi session (6+ hrs): $125/hr OR $500/half day (4hrs).

    Large-scale projects begin around $500, though the cost is split between multiple sessions.

Please note: 

All appointments are automatically allotted a minimum of 2 hours to ensure high-quality client care — flash days are the only exception; however, pricing only includes tattoo time. (Ex: 2hr Appt = 1.5hr tattoo time = $225), Rather than the 2-hour slot automatically being charged at $300.
