Question 1

How much do your tattoos cost?

Accepted Answer

My hourly rate for custom designs is $150. For larger pieces that require multiple full-day sessions, I offer a flat day rate of $850 for each session.

Question 2

Do I require deposit to book?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a deposit is required to book an appointment. (Except for consultations.)

For more information, please read the Terms & Conditions.

Question 3

How long will the tattoo session take?

Accepted Answer

It really depends on the complexity of the design, its size, your skin, and how well you sit during the session.

As a general guide, small tattoos usually take around 1–2 hours, medium pieces 2–4 hours, and larger or more detailed work may take 4+ hours or require multiple sessions.

Estimated time for larger projects:
• Full sleeve (per arm): 20–40 hours
• Full leg (per leg): 20–40 hours
• Chest: 10–20 hours
• Stomach/abdomen: 10–20 hours
• Full back piece: 20–50 hours

These are estimated time frames and may vary depending on the design and individual factors.

Question 4

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

I accept cash, debit cards, credit cards, and e-Transfer. Please note that GST will be added to all debit and credit card payments.

Question 5

Can I use numbing cream?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’re welcome to use numbing cream at your own discretion and responsibility. Please apply it before arriving for your appointment. Please note that I am not responsible for any issues caused by the use of numbing cream, including chemical burns or any effects it may have on the healing process or final result of your tattoo.

Question 6

Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

Yes! However, we kindly ask that they remain seated quietly in the waiting area during your appointment. Please be respectful of the studio environment by avoiding loud conversations, playing music, or other disruptive behavior, as there may be other artists and clients working at the same time.

Question 7

I’m going on vacation after my tattoo. Is that okay?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plans. A fresh tattoo is an open wound and needs proper care while it heals. Swimming, hot tubs, excessive sun exposure, hiking, heavy exercise, and excessive drinking can all interfere with healing and increase the risk of infection.

Please consider your plans before booking. If your vacation involves any of the activities above, it’s best to schedule your tattoo for after your trip.

Question 8

Do you do cover-ups or touch-ups?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it depends on the existing tattoo. Since every piece is different, I’ll need to see clear photos before I can let you know if it’s something I can work with. Please send photos via Instagram DM for an assessment.

Question 9

Do you accept walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Whenever I’m available for walk-ins, I’ll post it on my Instagram Stories. Be sure to check there for same-day availability.
