Before your session
A few simple guidelines to help make your tattoo experience smooth, comfortable, and respectful.
Your Custom Design
Every tattoo I create is custom-made for the person receiving it. It represents your story, your ideas, and your body. Because of the personal interpretation and work that goes into each design, custom designs are created exclusively for the client they were made for and will not be reproduced for someone else.
Your Project & Quote
When I give you an estimated number of sessions, this is based on the photos and information provided at the time of booking. Placement and body size can sometimes be difficult to judge accurately from photos.
If you know that your placement is particularly large, please mention this when submitting your request. If you have any questions about the estimated time or number of sessions, please ask before booking.
Deposits & Appointments
A non-refundable deposit is required to start your project. The deposit is part of the total tattoo price and covers the preparation of your design and the first appointment reserved for you.
Please note that cancelling or rescheduling may result in the deposit being forfeited.
Design Process
Custom designs take time. I want to give each project the attention it deserves, so please allow me the time needed to create the right design for you. Rushing the design process isn’t beneficial for either of us.
I am gradually moving towards offering more of my own curated designs and working on projects that fit my artistic style. If you have a personal idea you’d like me to tattoo, I’m happy to explore how we can adapt it to my style while keeping the meaning and story behind it.
Communication
Clear and open communication is important to me. You will receive everything you need to know before your appointment, and during the consultation I encourage you to speak up, ask questions, and communicate your preferences. You should always feel comfortable and in control of what goes on your body.
Arriving at the Studio
Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your appointment. The studio is cleaned and prepared in the morning, and arriving earlier than that does not mean your appointment can start earlier.
The studio is a private practice with no walk-ins or surprise visits. One friend may accompany you, but they will need to wait in the waiting area. Please do not bring additional guests, children, or pets.
A calm environment helps us achieve the best results.
Personal Hygiene
Please arrive showered and wearing clean clothes, especially when the tattoo is being done on an area that will be exposed during the session. This is important for both hygiene and your comfort.
All Bodies & Skin Tones Welcome
All bodies and all skin tones are welcome here — including colour tattooing on darker skin. My goal is for every client to feel seen, respected, and confident in the work we create together.
