I reserve the right to accept or reject any booking requests, based on my availability and my practice at the time.
I only tattoo consenting adults. 18+ ONLY, no exceptions. I'm not interested in tattooing minors.
By booking with me you agree that you have read my policies completely!
PRICING + PAYMENT
Pricing varies from project to project, and I am always willing to work within your budget to make you something beautiful. For hourly rate pieces, I will give you a price range so there are no surprises.
Flash pieces typically are offered at a flat rate.
I charge an hourly rate of $180/hour for small-medium projects.
I have a day rate of $950, which covers 5+ hours of tattooing.
I accept cash or e-transfer. Please note that if you pay in cash, I may not have change available.

DEPOSITS + DRAWING FEES
Half-day session: $100 deposit to be paid upon booking
Full-day session: $200 deposit to be paid upon booking
Flash: 50% of the posted rate to be paid upon booking
Your deposit covers the initial drawing fee. If you request extensive changes to the original drawing, I reserve the right to keep 50% of your deposit as an additional drawing fee, and we may need to reschedule your appointment.
I will typically email your design the evening before your appointment. If you’d like to receive the drawing in advance, I can prioritize it a week in advance for a fee.
I will not provide drawings without a booked appointment/paid deposit.
LATENESS, CANCELLATIONS + NO SHOWS
I greatly appreciate you being on time for your appointment. Please try not to arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your appointment.
If you are running late and have not attempted to contact me via e-mail, you may forfeit your deposit after 15 minutes.
Deposits are non-refundable for cancellations less than 72 hours in advance of your appointment. I allow 1 reschedule per booking before requiring a new deposit so please check your schedule before committing to a date and time.
Cancellations should be made at least 72 hours in advance to allow me to book in somebody else. Please let me know as soon as possible for scheduling conflicts.
If you no-show an appointment, you forfeit your deposit and understand that you will have to pre-pay for future appointments or that I may not take you on as a client again. I always schedule appointments in written form, and you also receive a reminder email 3 days before your appointment.
TATTOO DESIGNS
Custom tattoo designs will be available to you at the time of your appointment, or the night before. Please be punctual so that we have time to review and make any adjustments if necessary.
For major changes to your design a $50-100 drawing fee will be incurred per revision and may cut into our appointment time or require us to reschedule.
By commissioning me for custom work you agree that my style is agreeable to you and you trust my ability to fulfill your vision. This is why we have a consultation and exchange emails before your appointment.
Considering all of the above, you always maintain the right to say No thank you, as do I. These policies are to protect my time and labour.
STUDIO SPACE, MINORS, PETS, GUESTS
The studio is up one flight of stairs and is not wheelchair friendly. There is ample free parking and we are close to transit. The building is shared with health practitioners - massage therapists, acupuncturists, and a counselor. For this reason we keep our volume to a minimum :)
Please do not bring guests, pets, or children to your appointment. Any plans you need to make to mind children or pets should be made in advance - cancellations due to lack of baby/pet sitter is at your own expense and subject to my cancellation policy.
Tattoo times can be variable and I am only able to give you an estimated timeline. Please do not commit to plans with others in a way that would make you feel rushed during our appointment.
If you would like to schedule an appointment where you and friend can get tattooed together, please e-mail me.
PREPARATIONS
Please come to your appointment in good health, well fed, rested, and wearing loose and comfortable clothing for the area getting worked on.
Do not wear nice clothing or light colours. For tattoos on legs, please bring shorts.
Prior to your appointment, I appreciate you gently shaving the area you plan on getting tattooed. Please shave generously and avoid cutting the skin. If you aren't used to shaving though, let me do it for you!
You are welcome to take Advil to help manage pain. If you are interested in using numbing cream, please get in touch with me so we can discuss whether or not it would be advantageous! I am open to it, but there are exceptions.
Please arrive SOBER. This includes THC. Please e-mail to discuss details :)

Touch-ups are free within a 3-month window granted that they have been well maintained and are fully healed. Any touch-ups after this window are $50/hour to cover setup.
Tattoos that have been neglected/damaged by picking, soaking, sun damage, and general disregard of after care may be subject to my hourly rates for touch-ups. Please take care of your tattoo, we both put a lot of energy into it!
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
