Frequently Asked Questions
What are your rates?
I currently charge $150/hr with a $150 minimum.
How can I book with you?
I book through the booking form listed on my website. Please determine if you’d like a flash, custom, or collage and follow the form instructions. All flash available can be found under “Flash” and is organized by the size which it can be done. When you find the flash you’d like, remember the name of it (written below the design) and submit that in the booking form.
For customs and collage submissions you will be asked to provide reference photos on the booking form. This is crucial for me to understand your vision. There are examples of collage tattoos I’ve done under “Flash” in the menu. Feel free to add these as reference photos if you’d like! If you do any drawings or sketches of what you’re thinking those are always great as well.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Hydrate! Exfoliate! Moisturize! Eat! Rest!
Please come to your appointment on time, hydrated, full belly, and in comfortable clothing that makes the spot you’d like tattooed easy to access. Be mindful that your clothes may get a bit of ink on them so don’t wear anything white or fancy! You do NOT need to shave the area you’re getting tattooed, I can do that.
I will NOT tattoo you if:
-you are not 18+
-you appear intoxicated
-you are sunburnt
-you have a fresh wound/scratch/bug bite where you want to get tattooed
-you are disrespectful to me, Shan, or anyone in the studio
Do you require a deposit?
I require a $75 deposit to book. For custom bookings, this becomes the drawing fee. For flash bookings, the deposit goes toward the final cost of the tattoo.
The deposit is non-refundable.
Do not send a deposit before hearing from me. I will let you know when you can send the deposit. Thank you!
What forms of payment do you accept?
I currently accept cash and Venmo. Cash is always preferred.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you give me at least 48 hours notice before your appointment I can transfer your deposit ONE time to reschedule. Any reschedules after that will require a new deposit. If you do not give me enough notice, you forfeit your deposit and must send a new one to book again.
Do you provide touch-ups?
Yes, I provide free touch up for two years after your tattoo. After 2 years I will do touch ups for $50. If you think you need a touch up, feel free to reach out with a photo of your tattoo and we will find a time to schedule you!
Do you prefer custom or flash?
At the moment I prefer flash, but I still love doing customs and collage customs that align with my style.
What should i wear to my appointment?
Comfortable clothing that you don’t mind possibly getting ink on is ideal to wear to your appointment. Please don’t wear skirts or dresses since laying on the massage table can be uncomfortable in that clothing. Make sure I will be able to access the area you will be getting tattooed.
Is there any place on the body that you don’t tattoo?
I will not tattoo your face, neck, feet, hands, fingers, nipples, or genitalia.
Special cases may be made if you’ve worked together before, but no guarantee.
How long do appointments take?
Appointments for:
Small Flash ~1-2hours
Medium Flash ~2-3hours
Large ~3-6hours
Collage ~2-3hours
Custom ~depends
These are estimations but the time could change depending on the size and location of the tattoo.
How long will it take for my tattoo to heal?
Tattoos take 2-3 weeks to fully heal. Please leave your second skin bandage on for 3-5 days. Once you remove the bandage in the shower per the printed instructions I give you, wash and moisture the tattoo everyday. This will ensure a perfect healing process. After the 2-3 week mark you will be set to enjoy swimming, working out, and saunas. Please make sure to apply sunscreen onto your tattoos to ensure the longevity of your new tattoo!
What is your Late policy?
Please try not to be late. I plan my day so that I have enough time to do 2 tattoos. If you are late it means we are running behind which means you bump my next appointment later. It doesn’t feel good to wait and it’s just best if we avoid that!
If you are running late, please let me know asap so I can plan accordingly. Things happen and I am very understanding. That being said I am going to start charging if you are running very late.
15 min - $15
30 min - $50
60min - You forfeit the $75 deposit. We will need to reschedule and you will need to pay another deposit.
