+ Tattoo After Care

How do I book an appointment?

To book an appointment, you submit an inquiry using the tattoo request form on the home page. I use texting to book my appointments.

You can also text 234 425 3985 to book an appointment as well instead of submitting an inquiry.

I recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date and time.

Do I need to pay a deposit when booking an appointment?

Yes, I require a deposit to confirm your appointment. It is $50 flat. You can put more down for a deposit if you wish, but it is not required. Please message me before putting more than $50 down. This deposit goes towards the final cost of your tattoo. I take Cash, PayPal, Zelle or you can do a deposit through my website checkout.

What form of payment do you take at the appointment?

Please bring cash only for the remainder of the balance. I understand things happen, so if you don’t bring cash / forget cash, we have an ATM available with a small fee.

Is there a minimum age requirement for getting a tattoo?

You must be 18+ to get a tattoo by me. I will only tattoo 17 y/o if the tattoo is for a loved one or a memorial tattoo, and they must have parent consent in person at the shop, must have a valid ID and bring a birth certificate to match the parents ID.

Information about my books:

Under my request form, it shows if my books are opened or closed and what months I am currently booking for. I book no more than 2 months in advance.

______________________________________

Deposit Policy: Deposits are non-refundable and go toward the final cost of the tattoo. Deposits are forfeited if you no-show for an appointment, cancel with less than 48 hours advance notice, or reschedule more than twice.

Cancellation & Reschedule Policy: All appointments require a minimum of 48 hours notice for cancellation or reschedule. This allows me time to get the spot filled.

Late Policy: If you are running late for an appointment, just text my number. If you are more than 15 minutes late, we will have to reschedule.

No-Show Policy: If you fail to show up for your scheduled appointment without notice, your deposit will be forfeited. (I may require a larger deposit for a future appointment.)

Artwork Policy: I will not email, text, or preview a custom design for your review until your scheduled appointment. Revisions and adjustments are made on the day of your appointment.

Artist's Discretion: There may be cases where I will be unable to perform the tattoo due to illness, inclement weather, unforeseen circumstances, or any other reason. I reserve the right to reschedule the appointment at a mutually convenient time.

Time: Please try not to have any time constraints the day of the tattoo. The time it takes to finish the tattoo can vary and if changes need to be made the extra time will be needed. I don’t want to rush through your piece of art.

Guest Policy: I unfortunately don’t have a whole lot of room, so you may bring only one guest to accompany you while you get tattooed. Your guest must be over the age of 18. Out of respect for the other clients getting tattooed, as well as the artists who need to focus on their tattooing work, any excess guests or disruptive guests will be asked to leave. Small children are not permitted in the tattooing area at any time.

If multiple people (3+) have an appointment together, only two will be allowed back in my station at a time. Everyone else must sit in the waiting area.

TATTOO AFTER CARE:

Regular Bandage Instructions:

Leave the wrap on your tattoo for at least 1 hour. After the hour, take the bandage off and wash the tattoo with anti-bacterial soap. Let your tattoo air out for the remainder of the day / evening. You may wash the tattoo before bed if needed.

When you wake up in the morning, wash your tattoo with anti-bacterial soap and dab it dry. (You’ll wash the tattoo in the morning and before bed for the first 5 days.)

After washing your tattoo in the morning, put a thin layer of tattoo healing ointment or an unscented lotion on the tattoo. (*NO NEOSPORIN NO PETROLEUM JELLY*)

You may also put the ointment or lotion on once or twice during the day when it’s dry or tight, and then again after the bed time wash. You will use the ointment or lotion for 2-3 weeks starting on day 2.

SECOND SKIN AFTERCARE:

Leave the second skin on for 3-5 days, after 3-5 days you will take the second skin off in the shower. Use a thin layer of unscented lotion or tattoo ointment once or twice a day for 1-2 weeks after you take the second skin off.
