Frequently asked q’s
When do you work?
★ I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays.
How far in advance do you book appointments?
★ I usually book 1-3 months in advance.
★ Don't be shy to ask me when I am booking for! My books are always open.
If I need help talking about my tattoo idea, can I book a consultation with you?
★ Of course! Consultations are free. I recommend bringing inspiration photos, references, or anything that helps communicate your idea. It’s also helpful to have a general idea of placement, size, and style. From there, I can guide you and help bring everything together into a design that works well for you. I can also give you a price quote as well.
How much is a deposit?
★ A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment.
★ This amount will go towards the final cost of your tattoo.
How much will my tattoo cost?
★ Final cost depends on placement, size and detail.
★ I may use an hourly estimate as a general guideline, but I prefer pricing per piece. This is so that I can spend more time on your tattoo if necessary and make sure that we are both proud of the result without having to be worried about charging extra time. It also allows you to know the full price in advance and budget accordingly. I will never charge more than what I quoted.
★ Feel free to ask, let me know as much detail as possible & I am happy to give you a range!
★ My minimum is $150.
★ All prices are in CAD.
Do you tattoo with colours?
★ I rarely use colour. My work is done in black ink, sometimes with grey.
★ If you’re interested in adding one or two colours to your tattoo, just let me know and we can figure something out.
Do you do cover ups?
★ It depends! Cover-ups are considered on a case-by-case basis. I’d love to see if I can help, so please send a photo of the tattoo you’d like to cover, along with any ideas you have in mind.
Do you send out appointment reminders?
★ I do! A friendly reminder will be sent out 1-2 days before your appointment.
★ If we’ve already spoke within a week of your appointment, a reminder won’t be sent out.
★ Please remember to save your appointment in your calendar. If you need to double-check the date or time, you can always look back at our messages or you’re more than welcome to send me a quick hello!
How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
★ Get a good night sleep, drink lots of water and eat a full meal before your appointment.
★ You’re welcome to bring water, drinks, and snacks to stay comfortable during your appointment.
★ You can also bring earphones, a book, or anything else that helps you relax and stay entertained.
★ Daily moisturizing beforehand helps your skin take ink better.
★ You don’t need to shave the area being tattooed as I can take care of that for you. If you prefer to do it yourself, feel free to but be careful not to cut yourself.
★ Avoid tanning, sunburns, scratches, or any scabbing on your skin before your appointment.
★ Avoid alcohol and any medication that thins the blood (including pain relievers like Advil or Tylenol) for at least 24 hours before your tattoo session.
★ Wear loose, comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed (the bathroom is available if you need to change). Tattooing can be messy so keep in mind to wear clothes you don’t mind possibly getting ink on.
★ Here are a few examples for clothes you can wear based on where you will be getting tattooed.
- Forearm: A loose short-sleeved T-shirt
- Sternum: A button-up shirt or something that opens at the front (I can provide nipple pasties if you need them)
- Back: A zip-up hoodie or top that can be easily removed
- Thigh: Shorts or loose pants that can be rolled up comfortably
What kind of payment do you take?
★ I accept cash, e-transfer & PayPal.
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!
