you do not need to have every detail of your tattoo figured out! but you should have a clear concept or direction before submitting an inquiry. this can include the subject matter, general style, approximate size, placement, or overall feeling you’re envisioning.i’m happy to interpret your idea artistically and develop the final design, but i do not offer preliminary consultations for brainstorming tattoo concepts or selecting what you should get tattooed.once you have a direction in mind, please submit an inquiry form with as much information and visual reference as you have available.

no.you must be 18 years or older to be tattooed, regardless of parental consent or authorization. a valid, government issued photo id is required at your appointment.

i do not offer in person or pre-appointment consultations. you should have a general concept, placement, and approximate size in mind before submitting an inquiry, but you do not need to have every single detail figured out!design details, sizing, placement, and any adjustments are discussed together at the beginning of your scheduled appointment with dedicated time built into the session to finalize everything before tattooing begins.permanently modifying your body is something i do not take lightly, so this part of the process as well as the tattoo itself: is never rushed. i make sure we have plenty of time to discuss your ideas, make any necessary adjustments, and feel confident about the final design before we begin!

i typically open my books approximately 2–3 months at a time. the dates and months currently listed on my booking page reflect my active booking period and are the only dates i am currently scheduling.i do not reserve appointments for future booking periods or maintain a waitlist for dates that have not yet opened. if you're looking for a month that is not currently listed, please wait until that booking period opens before submitting an inquiry. new booking periods are updated on my website as availability opens!

i do not often tattoo fingers, palms, sides of the hands, soles of the feet, toes, or other placements that experience significant friction, movement, or repetitive wear. these areas can be especially unpredictable when it comes to ink retention and long term healing.because my work is intentionally very fine and delicate, i tattoo placements where i feel confident in the longevity of my technique. if you're unsure about a specific placement, please include it in your inquiry!

make sure you are well rested, hydrated, and be sure to eat a full meal before your appointment. you're also welcome to bring a drink or small snack with you!please do not shave the area beforehand, i’ll take care of any necessary prep at your appointment :) please avoid alcohol before/night before your appointment and arrive with clean, healthy skin that is free from sunburn, irritation, cuts, or other active skin concerns.wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed & keep in mind that tattoo ink can stain clothing.please bring a valid government-issued photo id with you to your appointment.
