Once your inquiry and appointment date have been agreed upon a deposit of $226.00 CAD (HST/GST included) will be required to secure your booking.
Deposits are used to secure the time slot you have chosen. It will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo on the last session (if applicable). Without deposit your appointment is subject to change at anytime, and will be offered to other inquiries/clients as the time slot is considered available.

DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE
​
Please note: If your project is not selected it may mean that I feel I am not the right artist for you, the project does not fit into my particular set of skills, or that other projects that closely reflect my work have been chosen. With all this being said do not hesitate to submit your inquiry as I am always open to new ideas. All I ask is that remain open minded during the creative process.
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN PROCESS LIKE?
​
As various artists tend to send the design the day of the appointment, I take preference in sharing the process 1 - 2 days prior. I offer this as a courtesy as it tends to relieve stress and gets us right into tattooing the day of the appointment. You may be contacted for additional questions/references during this period.
​
Furthermore, remember that this tattoo is for yourself and you alone. If you choose to share your design, please remember that regardless of other opinions or creative expertise this tattoo will accompany you and you alone for the extent of your life. So in this case it is best to please yourself rather than others.
​
Lastly, be patient and respectful when waiting for your design. I work on a reduced schedule to ensure that everyone gets enough one on one time and grant myself maximum creative output.
​
DO YOU ALLOW REVISIONS FOR THE DESIGN?
​
Custom design revisions are allowed, up to a maximum of three. In most cases larger scale designs like sleeves will be slightly modified during the appointment to compensate for the contours and movement of the body. I urge you to trust the process as often design choices are used to not only help the tattoo age well but also complements the shape of your body.
​
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREPARATION PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
​
I always recommend coming well fed and hydrated. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and will reflect the care you take of yourself. For rougher patches of skin such as knees or elbows, I also suggest moisturizing during the week prior as this helps those areas be more susceptible to taking ink.
Otherwise feel free to bring snacks, entertainment, etc, anything to help you relax.
​
DO NOT COME TO THE APPOINTMENT HUNGOVER (I'm looking at you weekend people).
​
WHAT ABOUT RESCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT?
​
Appointments can only be rescheduled once, as long as you notify either the shop or myself at least 72 hours prior to your appointment. Please note that rescheduling is intended for unforeseen events that may interfere with the appointment. If you wish to reschedule a second time a new deposit will be required.
