Pricing will all depend on size, level of detail, and placement of the tattoo. I charge based on time. My hourly rate is $150 an hour, and I am usually able to give you a close estimate of how long a tattoo will take to complete after a consultation.
To Schedule a consultation you can either go through the booking form on my site, or you can message me directly on instagram.
A consultation is a time scheduled for you to come to the shop for us to further discuss your tattoo idea and any further deatails about the design or pricing. It is also a good time for me to get a tracing of the area you are wanting to have tattooed so that I can draw specifically for the space that you have available, or if you have other tattoos in the area surrounding the spot you are wanting tattooed.
I do not recommend using numbing cream for tattoos as it can affect the healing process especially full color tattoos. Though I do not recommend it if you feel that you must use it for a tattoo I recommend to test the product on the area of skin before hand and make sure that there is no reaction to be sure that you have no allergies or irritations due to the product.
I do require a deposit of either $50 to $100 that goes toward the total price of the tattoo. The deposit is non refundable. In the event of you needing to reschedule I ask that you message me within 48 hours and that deposit will be moved to the rescheduled date. After rescheduling once you will be asked to leave another deposit. This is to allow me time to fill the spot in my schedule.
Your tattoo will take roughly two weeks to heal, sometimes longer. During this time it cannot be submerged in bodies of water such as pools, lakes, etc. It is also important to prevent over exposing your healing tattoo to the sun. Your healing tattoo is an open wound especially in the first few days of healing. It is important to prevent exposure to harmful bacteria and things that can cause irritation during the healing process. Following the aftercare instructions given to you after the tattoo and listed on the website will help to prevent infection and ensure proper healing for your new tattoo.
If you were given a water proof adhesive "second skin" type of bandage like derm sheild after your tattoo, it is completely normal for there to be some fluid build up. Leave the bandage on and leave the fluid in place. Once you remove the bandage and clean your tattoo following the aftercare instruction it will be fine.
