BOOKING POLICIES

SCHEDULING

 

PRICING. Half Day sessions (3 hours) are $600 and Full Day sessions (6 hours) are $1,200. Aside from deposit, payments are accepted in cash only.

Various factors including size, placement, amount of color and detail, skin health, and attention to aftercare will impact the amount of overall time and price of your tattoo. It is advised you budget the tattoo by session, especially for large scale work requiring multiple sessions. Please be advised, if you do not fulfill at least one session within 6 months, any price changes (if made) will reflect on your next session.

For travel locations outside of Newport Beach, CA, you may see a different pricing structure to offset travel expenses. 

 

DEPOSITS. A deposit is required when scheduling. Deposits are non-refundable and are non-transferable to another idea or person. Deposit payment will be made through my website, using the scheduling link I send you. Your deposit will rollover with each continuing session, and applied to the final session of the tattoo.

 

A deposit is forfeited, meaning it will no longer apply, under any event of cancellation (see "Cancellations" below).

CONTINUING SESSIONS. These are sessions scheduled by clients who have ongoing projects with me.

  • 1-2 sessions may be scheduled at a time under the same deposit. 

  • One reschedule is accepted between sessions with the same deposit.

  • Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks of healing between each session.

  • A continuing session scheduled more than 6 months after the previous session may be affected by any price changes (if made).

CUSTOM IDEAS. When you submit your inquiry form, you are approving your idea description. I ask for your trust and creative freedom with your idea, as I will draw a design in my art interpretation based on your description. Artwork may be used as references but I will not duplicate art or other tattoos. If there are elements you absolutely desire or do not want in your tattoo, I will happily work with those requests so long as they are communicated to me on the inquiry form. You will be presented with the design when you arrive to your appointment, I do not send out artwork. Please be certain of your idea prior to submitting this form, as no changes or alterations will be accepted once a scheduling link is offered.

 

PRE-DRAWN DESIGNS. These designs are pre-drawn artwork meant to be tattooed as-is; no changes can be made other than a small variation in size to fit or fill an area. To avoid double-booking one design, please reconfirm a design’s availability if you do not book within 48 hours of receiving a booking link.

 

CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING

 

RESCHEDULING. You may reschedule your appointment up to 72 hours before your original appointment time. 

  • To reschedule your appointment, you will need to text me before the 72-hour period informing me of your need to reschedule. Include your name. You can find the phone number in your confirmation email.

  • You may reschedule once with one deposit between sessions. A second reschedule between sessions will need a new deposit and forfeit the previous deposit.

 

CANCELLATIONS. Deposits are non-refundable under any circumstance. If you cancel on a Half Day, you forfeit your $200 deposit. If you cancel on a Full Day, you forfeit your $400 deposit. A new deposit will be required to schedule a new appointment.

A cancellation can be any one of the following:

  • Not arriving to your appointment within the first 30 minutes with no prior communication ("no call, no show").

  • Requesting a design change. I carefully utilize the information on your form and can spend anywhere from 5 to 12 hours on a single design, so any new design will need a new deposit. 

  • Rescheduling an appointment more than once between each session, and/or rescheduling within a 72-hour period prior to your appointment date.

  • Not providing proper ID (government-issued) showing you are over 18.

  • Arriving to your appointment with bruises, burns, or abrasions on the area to be tattooed, or with any numbing cream applied. (See FDA numbing cream warning.)

PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

 

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

❏ Moisturize your skin. Use Lubriderm lotion on the area you are getting tattooed for the week leading up to your appointment.

❏ Stay hydrated. Don't drink alcohol the day before your appointment.

❏ Get rest. Tattooing takes a physical toll on your body as it is healing itself. Your body will respond to pain better if it is not already exhausted.

❏ Eat a meal. I will not tattoo you if you have not eaten. If you pass out, we cannot continue with the session. 

Do not take any blood thinners or use topical numbing before your appointment.

BRING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

❏ YOUR GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID (required)

❏ CASH FOR PAYMENT (required)

Recommended for your comfort:

❏ Phone & phone charger 

❏ Water bottle & snacks 

❏ Sweater, pillow 

❏ Earbuds/headphones

GUEST POLICY

You may bring up to 1 person, but they will need to wait in the lobby and cannot sit with you in the procedure area. Do not bring anyone that will rush the time we spend at our appointment.

NO CHILDREN OR PETS.

CLOTHING

Please wear or bring clothing I can work around depending on the area I am tattooing (tank top for an upper arm tattoo, shorts for a leg tattoo, etc.). Do not wear anything you absolutely do not want ink on.
