How exciting! You've booked your appointment, and it’s finally approaching! To ensure the best experience, start by staying hydrated and moisturizing your skin before your appointment. Healthy, happy skin will make the process easier.
The night before, avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, as it can cause you to bleed more during the tattooing process. Also, be sure to get a good night's sleep.
On the day of your appointment, have a hearty meal to keep your energy up. It’s also a good idea to bring a bottle of water, or another drink, along with snacks to keep you fueled throughout your session. It’s better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them!
Feel free to bring something to keep you distracted, like a book, headphones, or a portable charger for your phone. here

Tattoo prices can vary greatly depending on various factors, so it’s hard to give an exact estimate without knowing more details about what you're looking for.
I price all tattoos using a flat-rate system. This means you’ll receive a full quote before we begin, based on the size, detail, and expected number of sessions for your tattoo.
Your quote includes all setup and supply fees, GST, and drawing time — there are no surprise charges as long as we stay within the planned sessions.
If additional time or sessions are needed to complete your piece beyond what was originally quoted, a flat $250 per extra session will be applied. This allows me to give your tattoo the time and care it deserves while keeping the process fair and sustainable.
Thank you for your support and understanding! 🖤

Touch-ups are small fixes on healed tattoos, typically to correct areas where ink didn’t hold. Touch-up appointments are billed at a $20 flat rate, which covers supplies and setup time.
However, if we need to schedule another full session to complete the tattoo — such as finishing shading, adding detail, or continuing linework that couldn’t be completed in the original sessions — that’s considered an Extra Work Appointment.
Extra Work sessions are billed separately at a flat rate of [insert your extra session fee], and will be clearly discussed and agreed upon before booking.
This system helps keep pricing transparent and ensures I’m compensated fairly for larger projects that evolve beyond the original estimate.

A $100 deposit is required to secure your appointment. For larger-scale work, the deposit amount may be adjusted accordingly — I’ll confirm the total with you during the booking process.
Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and is required to confirm your appointment.

Many tattoo artists don’t share designs before the appointment, but I like to keep my clients involved! I send sketches and final designs at least 2 days before your appointment.
I’m happy to make adjustments, but please note that a $50 drawing fee may be added to the final appointment at my discretion.

The time required for your tattoo depends on several factors, so it’s difficult to provide an accurate estimate upfront. Sessions can range from a few hours to full-day appointments.
I typically schedule only 1-2 appointments per day to ensure ample time for each client.

I only tattoo my own designs, but I’m more than happy to take your references and create something unique to your style. It’s a fun process, and we can collaborate to make sure it’s something you’ll love!

I totally understand the desire to get tattooed before turning 18! Unfortunately, due to insurance restrictions, I’m unable to tattoo anyone under 18. But don’t worry, once you turn 18, reach out to me, and we’ll get something awesome planned for you!
-
Of course! Your comfort is my priority, so if you’d prefer a quiet session, just let me know when booking.
However, I’m also always up for some Tatt & Yap, so if chatting helps distract you, I’m happy to talk during the appointment as well!

I accept E-Transfer, cash, and credit card payments through my booking platform. Whatever payment method works best for you, works for me!
