Question 1

Where do you tattoo out of?

Accepted Answer

I primarily tattoo out of my apartment in Bellevue, PA. I share with my partner and our 3 cats, if you have allergies or issues with cats please let me know prior to your appointment.

Question 2

What does trauma-informed mean?

Accepted Answer

To me, trauma informed is an approach to tattooing that acknowledges and addresses the potential impact of past trauma on individuals, ensuring a safer and more supportive experience for clients. This can mean asking for consent multiple times throughout the tattoo process, replacing the stencil as many times as we need to, taking as many breaks as we need to, or whatever makes you feel the most comfortable.

Question 3

What are your prices?

Accepted Answer

Currently I am offering very reasonably priced tattoos. And by that I mean mostly just the cost of the supplies it takes me to do the tattoo. Tips are appreciated but are never expected. I also accept trades and barters in exchange.

Question 4

What are you taking trades and barters for?

Accepted Answer

Currently i am accepting trades for art, baked goods, knit, sewn, and crocheted goods, and any other handmade goodies you have to offer. I am very open so just ask if its not on here!

Question 5

What do you recommend for aftercare?

Accepted Answer

I recommend leaving the second skin (Saniderm) on for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 48 hours. Once that's removed and the area is washed with warm water and antibacterial soap you can pat dry with a clean towel. Clean the area 2-3 times a day with the unscented antibacterial soap and pat dry with a clean towel. It is important to follow up with a moisturizer like Aquaphor, but do not over moisturize the area. Keep the tattoo clean and moisturized while its healing the first few weeks. Continue to moisturize and add SPF once it is healed daily.

Question 6

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I am located in Bellevue, PA. Which is a short distance outside of the city of Pittsburgh, PA.
