How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
-
Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before your session. Alcohol thins the blood and increases the risk of ending the session early.
-
Hydrate! Drink plenty of water as your appointment approaches.
-
Eat! Have a proper meal at least an hour before your tattoo. Getting tattooed on an empty stomach can lead to fainting, nausea, or lightheadedness.
-
Wear comfortable clothes! You may be sitting for a few hours. Ink can stain clothing, avoid wearing something you don't want to ruin.
-
Exfoliate and moisturize the area that will be tattooed up for one month leading up to your appointment.
WILL YOU TATTOO SOMEONE ELSE'S ART?
No.
CAN I CHANGE MY DESIGN IDEA AFTER BOOKING?
Yes. Requests to change your tattoo design must be submitted at least a week in advance of your appointment.
Can you send me the design/can I see the design before my appointment?

Your design will be available for you to review and approve before we start the tattoo. Minor changes and adjustments will be completed the day of your appointment.
Please review my Instagram page and portfolio before submitting an inquiry. My previous work will give you a sense of my style and strengths. You should feel comfortable and confident in me as your artist before booking an appointment.
