Welcome,  I’m so glad you’re here. Please read through the following before booking your appointment to ensure we’re aligned and you feel confident walking in.

Tattoo Eligibility & Studio Boundaries

• I do not offer cover-ups or touch-ups on tattoos done by other artists without booking a consultation call first.

• You must be 18 or older to receive any tattoo service in my studio.

Areas I Don’t Tattoo

For the integrity of my work and your safety, I do not tattoo the following areas:

• Soles of feet or palms of hands

• Sides or bottom of fingers

• Intimate areas typically covered by undergarments

How to Prep for Your Appointment

• Hydrate well the days leading up to your session—your skin will thank you.
• Moisturize regularly, but skip lotion on the day of your appointment.
• Eat a solid meal before your session to keep your energy steady.
• Get a full night’s sleep—rested bodies sit better!
• Avoid caffeine & sugar the morning of, as they can affect sensitivity.
• Avoid blood thinners, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol 24 hours before your session.
• Wear comfortable, dark, and loose clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area.
• Arrive clean & showered, with no lotions, perfumes, oils, or makeup on the area being tattooed.
• Avoid sunburn, tanning, or self-tanners in the area prior to your appointment.
• Shave the area gently if needed—or let me handle it for you.
• Bring whatever helps you feel relaxed—music, earbuds, a book, a snack, water.

Helpful Tips Before We Begin

• Come with a clear vision, but also be open to the process—we’re creating something special together.
• Know your placement and bring reference photos if you have them.
• Arrive on time, and feel free to communicate any last-minute questions.
• Aftercare is everything. Following proper healing instructions protects your art.
