Accepted Answer

Within 1-5 business days. I will respond as soon as i can with the quality time and effort that you deserve in a response. If you do not receive a response in that time frame, please know that I will still reach out and that your inquiry has not been forgotten. All patience and efforts are deeply appreciated through this aspect of the tattooing process.

Question 5

What style of tattoos do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

The tattoo styles i specialize in are black and grey illustrative and realism. I also specialize in the technique of fine line.
Projects that always take priority are either a spin off or exact pieces from my flash designs gallery.
However I am always willing/wanting to do tattoo projects that pertain to:
*Personal customized tattoos
*Lettering
*Pieces inspired by my designs gallery
*Realism / illustrative
*Loved ones handwriting 
*Sleeve work
*Body suits
*Fine line
*Ornamental / geometric
*Filler work
*Reworks / coverups
*Anime / cartoons
*Flash pieces / smaller tattoos
*Black outs
*Blast overs

Question 6

Do you have tattoo designs of your own making that are available?

Accepted Answer

Yes I do! 
The goal with every design of mine is to make it like how a painting or a statue in a museum is, unique and of its own. All of my designs in my flash gallery are “one and dones” meaning if I tattoo one of them I will never do that same tattoo twice. However I will do “spin offs” of my designs, where it’s not the same exact final piece but still similar to the original concept. 
All of my designs are prioritized first in my booking process, and for when if interested, I have a link for clientele that showcases the gallery of my designs to choose from.

Question 7

Do i get to see the design before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Unless if it is a design from my gallery, I do not send out designs before set appointments. On some occasions like when I am ahead of my schedule or when I need a clients input, then I will send out a design before our set appointment. This is because not only am I a tattoo artist working on multiple tattoo designs for multiple appointments but also because I too am a human being who needs time to rest, eat, be an active dog mom, a sister, a daughter, a friend, etc. I am a one man band with my business and a key point in how I run it is to not rush anything especially a tattoo that will be on someone for the rest of their life. I understand not seeing a design beforehand can be nerve racking but I can guarantee that I wont go through with a tattoo unless the design is loved on both ends.

Question 8

What tattoo inquiries do you decline?

Accepted Answer

I do not take on tattoo projects that include or pertain to any form of the following :
*Hate crimes / symbolism 
*Demonic figures / symbolism 
*Tarot cards 
*Dream catchers 
*Tribal / cultural 
*Private part area tattoos

Question 9

How can i be best prepared for my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please read the following thoroughly-

The 1-2 weeks before/of your tattoo-
*Moisturize your skin more than usual with lotion & oils daily. 
*Try to exfoliate 1-2 a week. 
*Eat plenty of healthy foods and stay hydrated. 
*Prevent any drinking of alcohol and intaking any drugs (marijuana & prescribed medication is fine).

The day/night before your tattoo-
*Get a good nights sleep 
*Eat at least an hour before the appointment
*Do not shave or moisturize area the day of
*Bring water and a multitude of snacks

The day of your tattoo-
*Wear comfortable, movable clothes
*Bring anything else that may help you throughout the tattoo process (examples include: headphones, squishy/stress ball, book, phone charger, blanket, gum, etc.)

Question 10

Do you trade tattoos for services or items?

Accepted Answer

Yes I do! 
However, whether or not I’m willing to trade at the current time being will always vary. So I highly encourage that if you’re curious, to reach out and ask me! 
What is being traded does determine whether or not that item/service qualifies to pay for the entirety of the tattoo or a portion of the tattoo that is traded in return. 
Examples of items I would trade for include: a tv, gaming system, plants, concert tickets, Fuji film cameras, airport discounts, store discounts, etc.
Examples of services I would trade for include: facials, deep tissue massages, chiropractic care, dentistry, mechanical work, etc.

Question 11

Do you do color work?

Accepted Answer

No, I currently only specialize in black and grey ink with an addition of white for highlights depending on the piece. This may be subject to change in the future however if you are looking for an artist that specializes in color I have artist friends I can direct you to.

Question 12

Do you accept clients under the age of 18 with a parent’s consent?

Accepted Answer

I unfortunately do not although I wish I could. Regardless of whether there is or isn’t a parent’s consent, legally I am not eligible to tattoo any person under the age of 18. If I were to illegally tattoo a minor whether it be known or not, I would be putting my tattoo license at risk of termination.
