My studio is located in a large, upscale medical/esthetician building, where I am surrounded by other working professionals in their adjacent fields. I am in the Camas / Vancouver, WA area. The studio address and check-in information are sent to clients within their confirmation email upon official reservation of appointment.

When you arrive to your appointment. Here’s why:

I create all my client designs in order. When I am creating the clients design, I am reviewing the entirety of our email correspondence + all the reference images they have supplied me with. I do this to ensure I know exactly what they want done, how much creative freedom they’re allowing, and general limitations.

This is why it’s crucial the client is very specific and clear with what they want done within our emails. With that being said - if the client sees the design the day of their appointment and wishes to make any alterations, I will happily do so!

I make these adjustments in front of them as we can discuss what such adjustments may entail or alter and what to expect (such as legibility, size, etc.) As this process is more sufficient to explain and visualize in person versus email.

I create and handle all my client designs this way as it’s the most organized and efficient, giving each client my full focus on their designated date to accommodate their needs/requests.

Extra guests are not permitted in the suite: Please don’t bring any guests.

My suite is in a space that is sized sufficiently only for myself, my client, and wiggle room for when I adjust the tattoo bed and lights.

I do not have sufficient space nor the time to break away from tattooing to accommodate an extra guest, and they are not permitted to be in the suite for safety and sterile reasons. All my attention is focused on the client with their appointment and ensuring all their needs are met.

If you feel like you absolutely must bring a guest (for example: they’re driving you from out of town and have no where else to go while they wait) there is a lobby area out front by check-in they can wait in. But again, this isn’t recommended as the tattoo will be an (x) amount of hours and it’s intended for all of our passing through clients versus long term waiting to prevent congestion.

A non-refundable deposit is needed to make your appointment official as it covers both the time I spend on and reserve for the clients design/design process and the appointment slot held for the individual. This deposit pays for my time invested before the tattoo appointment begins, and the slot being withheld from other potential clients.

As stated above, the deposit compensates me for both my time/work invested into the client’s design and the slot being withheld from other potential clientele. My time designing, consulting, and general preparation for appointment is not a refundable service, and the time spent holding the appointment could have been utilized to reserve another/other interested client/s.

Sleep well the night prior, make sure to eat something beforehand and stay hydrated.

It is strongly recommended you refrain from consuming alcohol the day prior/right after your session. Shower the morning of, and wear comfortable clothing. Bring some headphones/charged phone as to be prepared to sit still for a few hours

Plan to arrive around 5 minutes early for paperwork/check in. Notify me if you’re running late. In some cases, showing up significantly late may result in forfeiting the appointment and requiring another deposit to reschedule.

Cash is best, please ensure you have payment methods sorted prior to arrival.

Regardless of COVID, masks are required as we will be in extremely close proximity for hours on end.

Safety and cleanliness are a priority for myself, my workspace, and clients. A well-fitting mask needs to be worn at all times during appointment. I am extremely close and in the personal bubble of multiple strangers each day, so if you are showing symptoms of illness, coughing frequently, feel unwell, or have come into direct contact with someone who has tested positive, let me know and request to reschedule immediately.

I charge by the piece.

Just with any other custom service, the price quote depends on numerous criteria. The quotes are contingent upon factors such as: size, location on body, complexity of design, estimated session time. It’s best to provide all of this information, as well as attach some helpful reference/example images in your first inquiry message for an accurate quote.

If this is a concern, it is best to ask me a time estimate prior to finalizing your appointment. Session length is contingent upon how large/complex the piece is, as well as placement on body.

It is best to not rush the appointment, so please plan accordingly.

No, the stress and changes in the body while getting tattooed have the potential to harm you or the health of the child. I will not re-consider this at all. Please reach back out if still interested when you are no longer pregnant or breast-feeding.

1 touch up session is free of charge if requested within a month of getting the tattoo AND if deemed necessary. Many factors can go into how a tattoo heals such as the condition of the skin, allergic/skin reactions, sun exposure, general environment around the tattoo.

If the tattoo is damaged from obvious scratching/picking, poor aftercare, too much sun exposure, the touch up will be charged a booking/station set up fee of $50-$80 regardless of when I am alerted. **Certain designs/locations have a higher likelihood of needing a touch up earlier on and may be disclosed to the client within our emails. Touch ups are sometimes more common for finer line tattoos, such as script, or on areas where the skin is thinner, more texture (like palms) etc.

I handle 99% of my client correspondence’s via email as it’s more efficient to organize data, keep a physical record of the designs agreed upon criteria, etc.

However, there are a few instances where I may ask a client to come in for an in person consultation first. There are a variety of reasons I may ask this, and are usually expressed via email as it’s a case by case basis. I usually only ask of this if I believe it’s truly necessary and beneficial to the prospective project at hand, but if you’d feel more comfortable meeting in person first, feel free to ask.

RESCHEDULING:

Must reschedule at least 48 hours in advance to keep your deposit valid. Only 1 “48 hrs in advance” reschedule is allowed; if you need to move your appointment again on that level of short notice, a new deposit is required. (Why: your 1 deposit = 1 appointment. 48 hours is not enough time to make up for the loss spot in my schedule and multiple rescheduling will = multiple appointment spots being wasted, despite you paying for just 1 spot)

Rescheduled appointment must be within 60 days of original date.

If less than 48 hours notice is given, your deposit is forfeited.

NO CALL - NO SHOW:

If client fails to arrive to appointment and doesn’t communicate with me on scheduled date, deposit is forfeited and I will likely not proceed with booking with client.

LATE POLICY

If client is 15+ minutes late and doesn’t communicate with me, appointment will be canceled and deposit forfeited.

All these policies are set in place to respect my time. If you have any scheduling conflicts/questions, do not hesitate to ask me.
