Touchups

Everyone is entitled to a touch up on their tattoo.

Touch ups can only occur after 6 weeks once your tattoo is fully healed, otherwise it will damage the skin. Touch ups are not required.

  • Please only inquire if it really needs it

  • Gratuity is greatly appreciated for the service, and to cover the cost of equipment used for the touchup.

  • There could be a lot of reasons why you are seeing fading, or patching. The main reasons are sun exposure, picking, scratching, or neglect to care for the tattoo. Infections are the number one cause of patches in a healed tattoo.

  • I need all the information possible to determine how to correct the problem. When inquiring about a touch up, please send a photo or two. I may deny your request if there is nothing wrong with it.

A deposit is required to be on my books. This is for new and return clients.

  • To confirm any appointment, I require a $100 non refundable deposit that will go directly towards the total amount on the day of appointment. Deposits are payable either by venmo or with cash in person.

  • I have a 48-hour reschedule policy. If you cancel your appointment or reschedule within 48 hours of your appointment you forfeit your deposit.

  • If you want to schedule with me again, another deposit will be collected.

  • No Show = forfeited deposit

Deposits

  • There is a square system at our shop where you can use cash or card!

    We should discuss budget and quote prior to your appointment, if you have any questions please ask.

    In Washington I am required to charge sales tax to the total of the amount charged. For example, the total of the service is 500 dollars. After the 10.25% sales tax applied the total comes to $551.25. The total you would owe is 451.45 after the deposit is subtracted.

  • Tipping is never required or expectd!

    20% tip is standard in the tattoo industry. Cash is preferred for tip. However, any tips are greatly appreciated. And I love gifts or snacks as a tip as well! (I have no food allergies)

  • Yes! As long as the scar is at least a year old, that way when I tattoo over the scar it won’t cause any more damage.

    I will not tattoo over the top of bruises and fresh scrapes or scratches.

  • Get lots of rest, stay hydrated, take a shower, and eat something before your session. Make sure to wear comfy loose clothing appropriate for the location of your tattoo. ex: bring hoodie to put on backwards for back pieces

    Please plan to arrive on time or early. If you come more than 15 minutes late you will forfeit your deposit.

  • Yes! Just no kids, sorry!

  • That’s great! I work with all kinds of timelines and budgets, just include that info in your inquiry and we will work something out !

    • Will this translate well onto skin?

    • Do I want my tattoo to be visible on a day to day basis?

    • Is this the start of something big, or a standalone piece?

    • How will this design age?

    • Does this design align with my moral beliefs?

    • Am I choosing to get this tattooed with only my free will and not the influence of others?
