Book an appointMENT
My booking page describes my art and process. Consultations are available for discussing large multi-session pieces. Days open for tattoo appointments are Thursday through Sunday with a typical start time of 10am.
Prepare for tattoo session
Your time with me is important and we should both show up fresh and ready! My aim is your comfort while working as efficiently as possible. Tips for having a good appointment are on my preparation page.
Day of Appointment
Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early is appreciated to help get you settled in with documents signed. Your design will be ready for review, though modifications may be needed and that is okay! Breaks are taken as needed for stretching, getting a snack, or to use the restroom. Filtered drinking water is available in the shop. Please refrain from smoking on breaks. At the completion of your tattoo, I will clean and wrap it while providing aspects of aftercare. For payment I take cash or card, preferably card. Tips appreciated!
I realize that things come up and emergencies happen. Let me know as soon as possible and we can get you rescheduled. No call no shows forfeit their deposit to compensate for lost time and business.
Please be courteous and kind. In the rare case I get sick or need to reschedule, I will give as much notice as possible, rescheduling you at the next earliest convenience. Pay or deposits will not be affected. I want to provide the best work possible and can’t do this if I am not feeling 100%.
Caring for your tattoo
How you take care of your tattoo after completion directly relates to how well it heals, prevents infection, and keeps the ink bright. An individualized approach for your aftercare will be discussed the day of the appointment, and I am always available for questions! It takes an average of 2-3 weeks for a tattoo to completely heal.
Consult a medical provider if, outside the normal limits of healing, you have any concerns that your new tattoo has resulted in complications such as abnormal swelling extreme pain, colored pus, fever or allergic reaction.
