What to Expect

- Drink water, more than you normally would.
- Lotion your tattoo area daily. I suggest coconut oil, vitamin E oil, shea butter, or any lotion without alcohol. Be sure to check the label!
- It is not suggested to exfoliate within 48 hours of your appointment, but regular exfoliation before this window is advised.
- Eat a large breakfast.
- Drink water before your coffee.
- Don’t shave the tattoo area. This will be done during the appointment.
- Give yourself time to arrive on time to your appointment (but please don’t arrive more than 5 minutes early as I will be preparing the space).
- Please feel free to bring lunch + snacks if you have a long appointment window
- Bring your headphones, book, or other entertainment.
- If you need more than one pillow, please bring it with you.
- If you tend to be chilly, feel free to bring a blanket.
- I love to suggest meditation or breath work before long sessions, especially if this is your first tattoo.
- Please no heavy drinking the night before your appointment as this can affect the ink absorption into your skin.
- No heavy exercise or excessive sweating while your tattoo is healing under the “second skin” bandage (3-5 days on average).
- I will provide you with a detailed after care sheet before you leave the studio.
- Enjoy your beautiful new work of art!

I will always strive to keep my pricing accessible and representative of my wide range of styles + the efficiency of my process.

I’m happy to give a rough estimate once your design is created, but all clients sit differently so the appointment might take shorter or longer than expected. Please keep this in mind when booking.
I will provide an extensive after care document to you during your appointment. If you would like to review this before booking, please reach out.
Everyone has different requirements when it comes to medical needs and pain tolerance. If you have concerns, I recommend consulting with your doctor before booking.
Absolutely! Results will vary, but I can provide examples of healed tattoos over scarring or stretch marks during your consultation.
