HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TATTOO
Remove bandage after 2 hours. (Do not re-bandage the tattoo).
With clean hands, wash gently with mild, non scented soap (ie., Dial, Dr. Bronner’s) and warm water. Pat your tattoo dry with a paper towel or let it air dry. (DO NOT SCRUB).
Apply a VERY THIN coat of Aquaphor 2x daily for the first 2 days.
On day 3, switch to a fragrance-free body lotion (ie., Aveeno, Lubriderm, Eucerin, or Cetaphil) for 2 weeks. When it feels dry and/or itchy, apply lotion.
Do not let the tattoo dry out.*
Do not expose the tattoo to sunlight, dirt, sweat, swimming pools, hot tubs, tanning beds, or submerge it in water (showers are fine).
Do not pick or scratch your healing tattoo (scabbing is a normal part of the healing process).
Basic healing takes about 2-6 weeks.
SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT
1.Set up a consultation .
Fill out a consultation form.
Have references/ideas ready when you come in for your consultation, and we can create a custom design that suits you. Large scale tattoos will take multiple sessions, so plan knowing that tattoos take perseverance and patience. Palm sized tattoos() will be priced at a flat rate.
*A non-refundable deposit will be required and will go towards your tattoo appointment. Appointments are not confirmed until a deposit has been received.
*I enforce a strict 48 hour cancellation policy. If you do not rescheduled prior to 48 hours, your deposit will be forfeited. If you reschedule 24 hours before your appointment there is a $100 dollar rescheduling fee.
2. Setting up an appointment for your tattoo.
When you come in for your consultation, we will set your tattoo appointment date. I do not send photos of sketches of your design through Instagram, text, or email. If you want to see a sketch of your design, schedule with me a few days before your tattoo appointment and you can review the sketch at the studio.
3. Getting tattooed.
Make sure you have a valid ID and are over the age of 18. Get plenty of rest the night before your session and make sure to eat something before your appointment. Do not come in drunk, hungover, or sick. We will need to reschedule if this is the case.
Please come alone to your appointment.

Should I tip my artist?
Tipping is a commonly accepted practice to show appreciation for a job well done. The normal range is 10-20%, although I appreciate whatever you may feel is appropriate.
*Sharing your tattoo/tattooers work on your social media account and tagging your artist also helps. These small steps help artists with their small businesses and is greatly appreciated.
