Question 1

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Simply fill out the booking form with as much information as possible, including your tattoo idea, placement and any reference images. I’ll review your request and get back to you with the next steps. :)

Question 2

How much does a tattoo cost?

Accepted Answer

Every tattoo is different, so pricing depends on the size, placement, detail and time required. Once I’ve seen your idea, I’ll be able to give you an estimated price before your appointment.

Question 3

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A deposit is required to secure your appointment. This covers the time set aside for your tattoo and the preparation that goes into creating your design. Your deposit will be taken off the final cost of your tattoo.

Question 4

Are deposits refundable?

Accepted Answer

Deposits are non-refundable, as they cover the time spent preparing your design and reserving your appointment. If you need to reschedule, your deposit can usually be transferred as long as you give enough notice. Please see the booking terms for full details.

Question 5

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Things happen. Just give me as much notice as possible and I’ll do my best to find another suitable date for you. Last-minute cancellations or repeated rescheduling may result in your deposit being lost.

Question 6

How long will my appointment take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and complexity of your tattoo. When booking, I’ll give you an estimated appointment length, but please allow a little extra time around this for setting up, positioning, any breaks we take, stencilling and any final adjustments.

Question 7

Can you tattoo a design I found online?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Reference images are really helpful and are a great way to show me exactly what you like.

If you’ve found a tattoo that’s exactly what you’re looking for, or close enough that only a few small changes are needed, then 100% — we can work with that!

If you’re using a reference as inspiration, I can also take the elements you like and create something unique to you. I just prefer not to directly copy another artist’s work when there’s an opportunity to put our own spin on it. :)

Question 8

Can you cover an existing tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Possibly! It depends on the size, colour, age and placement of the existing tattoo, as well as what you want to cover it with. Send me a clear photo of the tattoo along with your idea and I can let you know what’s possible.

Question 9

Can I see my design before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

For custom tattoos, I don’t usually send finished designs out in advance. Part of the appointment is making sure the design works perfectly for your body and the chosen placement, so we’ll go through everything together before we start tattooing.

If you’re choosing from my available flash, it’s a little different! You’ll be able to see the flash designs before booking and choose your favourite. If you’d like to make any changes or adjustments to a flash design, this will be treated in the same way as a custom design and we’ll go through everything together at your appointment. :)

Question 10

Can I request changes to my design?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your tattoo is going on you forever, so I want you to be completely happy with it. We can discuss any changes or adjustments during your appointment before anything is tattooed.
