FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost?
 
That depends on what you are going to be getting tattooed. I work on a flat-rate basis, meaning that I take all the information about your tattoo request/placement and I set a price beforehand and communicate that to you. Prices depend on overall subject matter, size, detail and placement. Large-scale tattoos that require more than one sitting are given a flat rate per session. The minimum charge ( a small tattoo that takes 1 hour or less) is $170 + gst.​
Do you require a deposit?
 
Yes. The rules and regulations with deposits can be found here.

​​
What happens during the consultation?
 
We will meet in the studio to discuss ideas, images, placement, and other details. I will ask lots of questions, and any references you can bring are very helpful in ensuring we can bring your vision fully to life. After we create a concept that you're happy with, we'll book your appointment. A deposit will be required to book your appointment.

What is your privacy policy?

Rest assured, I do not give out any privately collected contact information. I keep all contact/payment info strictly confidential. Any/all information shared with me during the appointment stays between us.
​
How should I prepare for my appointment?
 
Get a good night's sleep and have a meal before your appointment. Depending on the length, you may want to bring snacks and water to keep your blood sugar levels up. I require all clients to complete a daily lotion/exholiating regimen 1 week/2 weeks before the appointment (not the day of) in the area we will be tattooing, as this helps with the tattoo application.
​​​
How do I Pay for my tattoo after the session?

Methods of payment after your appointment include E-Transfer and cash. 

Can I work out after getting my tattoo?
​
Please refrain from going to the gym for 5-7 days. A tattoo is an open wound and it is critical to avoid exposing it to sweat, dust, and dirt as much as possible. Similarly, please avoid bathtubs, saunas, hot-tubs, or any situation where your tattoo may be submerged in water.​
​
What about touch-ups?
 
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your tattoo to heal. After this time, touch-ups may be required based on how well your tattoo healed. This is totally normal. Please reach out to book a touch-up appointment via email.
