FAQs
How do I book an appointment?
Email me. Go to my Appointment tab to read how to book.
What is your rate?
$150/hr or I will price the project by piece depending on details.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, $50 deposit required for booking. Non refundable unless I am cancelling for whatever reason.
Do you charge a drawing fee for Customs?
I do not charge a drawing fee but I do require a higher deposit to claim an appointment for the custom. You will have to send a custom deposit before I start drawing for the tattoo. It will count towards your total cost. In the past, I have had people ask me to draw customs but end up ghosting me when it came time for the appointment which wasted the time I took to draw for them when I could have drawn flash or customs for other clients. Time is monay people! This deposit will be priced according to the details/size of the custom request :)
Is your flash repeatable?
Yes as of now, I will repeat flash until I change the policy again.
Where are you located?
I am at Martian Arts Tattoo Studio on Hawthorne.
Do you take cash, card, or Venmo? How much cash should I bring?
Cash is preferred. A portion of my earnings go to whichever shop I am working at so cash is easier. On occasions, I can take Venmo if it is needed. I like to overestimate how much cash to bring for a tattoo appointment just to be safe.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Drink plenty of water the night before, keep the skin hydrated. Eat at least two hours before your appointment. Plan your outfit according to where you will be tattooed & make the area comfortably accessible.
How much does it cost to get a touch up?
Touch ups are always free. Just shoot an email and set up an appointment :) I don't do continuous free touch ups on places where ink tends to fall out easier like the hands/fingers and feet.
Is tipping required?
Tipping is not mandatory but it is customary in the tattoo industry. Tattoo artists put a lot of unpaid time and effort into their work and try their best to accommodate every client's request. If you feel satisfied with your artist I would highly recommend tipping to show gratitude.
Do you accept gifts as a tip?
Yes! I would accept the following gifts:
Plants (that are easy to take care of), Art Supplies; Crystals, Toys for my dogs (really anything for my dogs), and baked goods.
Do you take walk ins?
I do take walk ins when I do not have an appointment scheduled that day.
Can I set up a consultation appointment?
Yes, consultations are always welcomed. They make the whole process much easier than email. Email me to request a consultation appointment. Bring any pictures to show during your consultation and the appointment will be at no cost.
I will try to update this as I get more questions but also feel free to shoot me an email if you don't find your answer here.
Thank you!
