Booking Policy
-
For larger custom projects, especially Filipino tribal work, you'll receive a questionnaire before your appointment. This helps me learn about your story, family background, ancestry, intentions, and the meaning behind your tattoo. I use this information to create motifs and concepts that are personal to you rather than copying existing designs.
-
Every tattoo is custom designed. Tribal tattoos are freehanded directly onto the body during your appointment so the design flows naturally with your anatomy. We'll collaborate on the design together, make any adjustments you'd like, and begin tattooing once you're completely happy with the final layout.
-
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. Your deposit will be applied toward the final cost of your tattoo.
Deposits are non-refundable because they reserve your appointment time and cover the time spent preparing your design and consultation.
-
Appointments may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours' notice, and your deposit will be transferred to your new appointment date.
Rescheduling with less than 48 hours' notice, canceling at the last minute, or missing your appointment will result in the forfeiture of your deposit, and a new deposit will be required to book again.
-
Pricing depends on the final size, placement, and complexity of the tattoo. Estimates are provided before booking, but the final price may vary once the design and scale are finalized.
-
Please arrive on time, well-rested, hydrated, and with a full meal beforehand. Feel free to bring water and snacks if you're booked for a longer session.
-
Complimentary touch-ups are available for up to one year after your tattoo is completed. This covers normal healing inconsistencies and must be scheduled within one year of your original appointment. Changes to the design, additions, or damage caused after the tattoo has healed are not included.
-
I currently accept cash, Venmo, Apple Pay, and PayPal. At this time, I do not have a card payment system.
-
You must be 18 years of age or older and present a valid government-issued photo ID at the time of your appointment.
-
Photography is welcome! If you’d prefer not to have your photos shared online, please let me know :)
Aftercare
-
Leave the bandage on for about 24 hours unless I tell you otherwise.
Wash your hands before touching your tattoo.
Remove the bandage gently and wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap.
Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel. Do not rub it.
-
Wash the tattoo 1–2 times a day with fragrance-free soap.
Pat dry and let it air dry for a few minutes.
Apply a very thin layer of fragrance-free lotion. A little goes a long
-
Continue moisturizing whenever the tattoo feels dry.
Itching, peeling, and flaking are completely normal. Do not scratch or pick at the tattoo.
Avoid soaking the tattoo until it is fully healed. No pools, hot tubs, lakes, or baths. Showers are fine.
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning while healing.
Wear loose, clean clothing if the tattoo is being covered.
-
Don't pick any flakes or scabs.
Avoid excessive friction on the tattoo.
Stay hydrated and eat well to help your body heal.
Once healed, apply sunscreen whenever the tattoo will be exposed to the sun to keep it looking its best.
-
Light activity is okay if it doesn't irritate the tattoo. If your workout causes excessive rubbing, stretching, or sweating over the tattooed area, it's best to take a few days off.
-
Some redness, soreness, and light swelling during the first few days are normal.
If you experience increasing redness, severe swelling, excessive pain, pus, or develop a fever, contact a healthcare provider.
If you have any questions during the healing process, don't hesitate to reach out. I'd much rather answer your questions than have you guess.
Enjoy your new tattoo, and thank you again for the trust!
