Design, Drawing & Process: 
Any questions about my design process can be brought up in the booking form. My process is usually based on a lot of trust since all final designs are only reviewed together at the beginning of your appointment with up to one necessary small revision. However, a draft preview can be discussed over a virtual consultation at the beginning if you are feeling unsure. 

Changing Your Design: 
If we’ve agreed on a design, but you’re thinking of a complete change in the direction or idea-- then it will be considered a cancellation. To deter forfeiting your deposits, please have a confident idea prepared as minor changes are welcome, but major changes might mean I may not be the right artist for you. 

Projects I Rarely Take On:
  • Placements: feet, fingers, most of the hand, genital area, face, and scars that are under two years old 
  • Subjects: others’ work without written permission, micro-fineline tiny work, extreme colourism or realism, neo-traditional., hate, vague cover-up 






PREPARATIONS & AFTERCARE: 


Prepare The Body & Mind: 
  • eat a good meal, get sufficient sleep, buy some snacks 
  • moisturizing the placement(s) as many nights leading to appointment date 
  • deter any strenuous activities before and after
  • bring a refillable water bottle, quiet entertainment and clean clothing 

“Does it hurt?”
  • yes, it all hurts; pain tolerance differs from every body and person 

“Can I bring a friend for support?”

“Numbing cream?” 
  • must be requested and provided by client 

AFTERCARE TDLR: TWO WEEK GUIDELINE  
Instructions are given in person post session and sent via email as well. Gentle reminder that everyone’s healing process is different. 

Bandages are to keep your wound clean and protected from external bacteria. Plasma, ink and blood will normally discharge for the first few days along with some swelling. 

DO: (STEP BY STEP)  
  1. Prepare a clean bedroom and fresh linens, wash your hands and grab clean paper towels
  2. Gently Remove Bandage after: 
    Cotton Gauze: overnight
    Second Skin: 24 hours minimum 
  3. Cleanse gently with lukewarm water and unscented soap at end of shower 
  4. Pat dry with clean paper towels and apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer
  5. Keep it covered at all times with loose clothing 
  6. Leave it alone until scabbing begins in the second week; try your best to stay dry and avoid soap 
  7. Once scabbing begins, avoid scratching or picking! Instead, start moisturizing lightly once a day (water based only). 
  8. Once healed, practice a healthy skincare routine and sun safety for longevity 
  9. Email us a clear healed photo! We would love to see and make sure everything is A-OK!


DO NOT:  
  • Re-bandage 
  • Touch tattoo with unclean hands or allow anyone to touch your tattoo  
  • Over-moisturize or use medical ointments, oil based moisturizers,  fragranced or sunscreen
  • Soak tattoo in any water or high igh-risk sports/activities 
  • Clean or dry with personal or fabric towels until fully healed 
  • Pick, peel or scratch tattoo at anytime
