When do I get to see my design?
All designs will be shown the day of your appointment unless stated otherwise, minor changes can be made together in person before we start your tattoo. If major changes are required we will need to reschedule your appointment with a new deposit. Please familiarize yourself with my body of work on my Instagram to ensure my style matches what you are looking for.
What can I do to prepare for my tattoo?
Make sure to get a good night’s sleep, drink lots of water, and have a good meal before your appointment. You may also bring snacks and water.
Please make sure you are moisorizing your skin prior to your appointment (this is only necessary if your skin is dry or sun damaged) and avoid alcohol 24 hours before your tattoo as alcohol thins the blood significantly, and after a big night, can affect the tattoo process the following day often resulting in a less-than-ideal heal.
Do you tip your tattoo artist?
In Canada it is considered the norm to tip your tattoo artist based on their service, however, it is not mandatory. Tips are greatly appreciated and come in all forms (monetary, gift, etc). Monetary tips tend to follow the standard tip guide of anywhere between 15-25+%.
How do touch-up sessions work?
After your tattoo session, you need to wait at least 1 month for the tattoo to fully heal. If you feel it needs a touch-up you receive a free touchup within 3 months of your original tattoo.
Please note touch-ups only include touching up what is already there. Adding to a piece, however, small will be subject to additional fees.
*Finger tattoos and some feet tattoos are exempt from free touch-ups and are always charged at full rate.
