FAQ

Pain tolerance varies by person and placement. Fine line tattoos are generally less painful than traditional tattoos since they use a single needle. Most clients describe it as a scratching or vibrating sensation. I use numbing cream if needed—just ask!

First, fill out the booking form on my website with your idea, preferred dates, and placement. I'll review your request and reach out within 48 hours to schedule a free consultation. A $50 deposit is required to confirm your appointment.

You must be at least 18 years old with valid government-issued ID. No exceptions. This is for legal and safety reasons.

Yes! I can design a cover-up for an existing tattoo. The success depends on the size, age, and colors of the original tattoo. Send me photos during your consultation so I can assess what we're working with.

Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice or no-shows may forfeit the deposit. This protects my time and allows me to serve other clients.

Get a good night's sleep, eat a substantial meal before coming, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the tattoo area. Don't shave the area yourself—I'll handle that.

Initial healing takes about 2-3 weeks. The tattoo will look fully healed on the surface, but the deeper layers take about 4-6 weeks to fully settle. I'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

All tattoos fade over time, but fine line tattoos age well when properly cared for. Following aftercare instructions, avoiding sun exposure, and keeping the skin moisturized will help maintain crisp lines for years to come.

For safety and focus, I typically work alone with my clients. However, I'm happy to accommodate special circumstances—just ask in advance. Children under 16 are not permitted in the studio.

I accept cash, Venmo, CashApp, and credit/debit cards. Payment is split between the deposit (due at booking) and the remaining balance (due at end of session). Tips are appreciated but never expected.
