FAQs
Pricing?
I currently work at an hourly rate of $200, depending on size and detail of the tattoo I can give a rough estimate of how long I believe it will take me but obviously can’t always be 100% accurate. My minimum is also $200.
Deposit?
I do also require a $100 deposit which will go towards the price of the tattoo, Deposits are non-refundable and will be lost if you no show, cancel and do not reschedule, or are more than 30 minutes late.
Tattoo Prep?
Try to come to your appointment well rested, and not on an empty stomach! Feel free to bring small snacks and drinks, as well as a fidget toy, headphones, etc. I also recommend wearing something comfortable and that makes the tattoo location easy to access.
Aftercare?
Derm Shield is a latex-free, transparent matte film adhesive bandage. It minimises scabbing and prevents exposure to bacteria, dirt, and abrasions. Derm Shield is not waterproof but it is water resistant so you can still shower with it on but just be conscience of the area. NO swimming or submerging your tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks. Try to keep exercising to a minimum for the first week, but if you do exercise just make sure to wash the area afterwards. Try to avoid direct sunlight on the tattoo while healing, and use sunscreen once healed.
If given Derm Shield I recommend leaving it on for 3-7 days. If it comes off before than that is also fine! If you notice leaking, or that the bandage has ripped, or the tattoo has become exposed remove the bandage asap. For removing the bandage, I recommend taking it off in the shower. Gently peel the Derm Shield by pulling it slowly from the edge back over itself. Take your time and use the water to help unstick it. Gently wash with un-scented soap and pat dry with a paper towel before applying un-scented lotion. Wash and apply lotion at least once a day for a week after taking the Derm Shield off, two weeks for no Derm Shield. Always remember to wear sunscreen on your tattoos once fully healed!
