What info do I need from you?

• Your idea

• Placement on the body

• Rough size limitations

• Any elements you absolutely don’t want to see in the design

This info helps me create a design we’re both happy with. Feel free to describe your vision in as much detail as you’d like. You’re also welcome to send any reference photos or videos.

Having trouble picking an idea? This article might help you out.

I share the final design 2–3 days before the appointment. If needed, we can discuss tweaks to the layout while keeping the original concept intact.

About deposit and payment

I start working on the design only after a $200 deposit is sent and we agree on a specific date. No stress — I won’t ask for the deposit until we’ve discussed your idea first.

The deposit is applied toward the total price. (Example: if your tattoo costs $1000, the remaining $800 is paid after the session.)

If the appointment is canceled within 2 days of the scheduled time — or after the design has already been prepared — the deposit is non-refundable.

The deposit is sent to the studio’s account (InkSource, where I work). But if that makes you uncomfortable, I can also accept personal payments via Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. Final payment at the studio can be made by credit/debit card as well.

Please be careful!

All bookings are discussed only by me and only through the channels mentioned above. I don’t message first offering to book a tattoo appointment. I don’t have any managers or assistants who can handle this.

P.S. I don’t take phone calls, as I dedicate my full attention to the client during a session. Also, tattoo-related questions are much easier to discuss via photos/videos.

For the same reason, replies may sometimes take up to 6–8 hours. I appreciate your understanding.
