The Tattoo Process
1. Submit your inquiry
Fill out the booking form to get started. You can request either a custom piece or select from available flash designs.
Be sure to include as much detail as possible about your idea, along with reference photos, sizing, and placement so I can best understand your vision.
Once submitted, we’ll schedule a full consultation to go over your concept, placement, and any questions before moving forward.
2. Consultation
At your consultation, we’ll discuss your tattoo concept in depth, review placement, sizing, and references, and make any necessary adjustments to the design direction.
This ensures we’re fully aligned before booking your tattoo session.
3. Deposit + Scheduling
A deposit is needed to reserve your appointment and will go toward your final tattoo cost and covers time spent preparing your design.
If you cancel or reschedule with short notice, the deposit may be forfeited.
Once your deposit is received, I’ll contact you to confirm a date and time for your tattoo appointment.
Deposits can be paid via Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, or cash.
4. Design preparation
After your deposit is received, your design is prepared using the details from our consultation.
This includes refining the concept, adjusting for placement and sizing, and making sure the piece is ready for tattoo day.
Minor final changes can be discussed before we begin.
5. Tattoo day
Come rested, hydrated, and fed. Wear clothes that make it easy to access the area being tattooed.
We’ll review the design together and make any adjustments before starting.
After you approve the stencil, the tattooing begins. You’re welcome to bring headphones, snacks, or anything that helps you stay comfortable during the session.
Cash is required for your final payment, and there is an ATM near the shop if needed.
Tips are appreciated but never expected.
6. Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps your tattoo heal well and stay vibrant.
You’ll leave with specific instructions, but generally you should keep the tattoo clean, lightly moisturized, and out of direct sunlight.
Avoid soaking or scratching it, and stick with gentle, unscented products.

7. Touchups
Some tattoos need small touch-ups after healing, depending on placement or skin type.
Touch-ups are usually quick and are free within the first year.
Once your tattoo is fully healed, reach out if you notice any small areas that need a refresh.
