Question 2

Pricing

Accepted Answer

- Minimum charge: $350
- Custom starts at $180/h
- Half day session from $700
- Full day session from $1000
- Deposit to book $300 applied to the final session price

I provide a personalized estimate or project range once I review your idea, reference images, size, and placement.
Most small to medium custom pieces fall within a quoted range, while larger ongoing work is usually booked by session rate.

Question 3

On the day of the appointment

Accepted Answer

Come well rested, wear comfortable clothes, bring snacks! ( I offer vegan/gluten free friendly snacks and lollipops)
Feel free to also bring anything that will make endure the tattoo session and pass the time more easily (Music/movies/book…a blanket). 
Take ibuprofen (advil) during the day to help with inflammation and pain.
Please avoid any procedures that might affect your skin and refrain from applying any numbing cream.

Question 4

Healing a tattoo

Accepted Answer

I’m going to apply a “second skin” like wrap on your new tattoo.
If a lot of discharge should happen you’ll have to change it after 24 hours; you’ll also have to change it if the wrapping is compromised (liquid runs out of it and/or tattoo exposed)
Otherwise simply leave it on for a total of 4/5 days.
Carefully remove the second skin, if needed help yourself with soap and water.
Once the wrap is off, wash the tattoo with water and antibacterial soap, and dry with paper towels. 
(If you are reapplying the wrap do it on dry, clean skin, with absolutely clean hands)
Moisturize once dry, two or three times a day for two weeks by applying a smooth layer without excess.
The tattoo will be fully healed in a month.
During the first two weeks is very important to avoid sun, swimming, baths, sauna.

Question 5

Policy

Accepted Answer

A deposit is required, non-refundable, applied to the final session price.
You will forfeit your deposit if you don't show up or reschedule less than 48 hours before the appointment.
No exemptions.

- I won’t send you a drawing. You will see it on the day of the appointment, and it will then be possible to discuss minor modifications and changes.
A complete new drawing will require a new appointment and deposit.

Please note that, although this is rare, sometimes the arising of unexpected occurrences, like skin conditions or a low pain threshold, may affect the hours needed for a project and therefore the final price.
