  • 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!

Remaining balance due after session.

Aftercare

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.

Respectful Conduct:

  • 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.

Late Arrival Policy:

Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late without communication, your appointment may be canceled, and your deposit forfeited. If you arrive 15 minutes late, 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.

Allergies & Accessibility

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.
