BOOKING F.A.Q.
-
Do you tattoo in black and grey or only color?
I love making pieces in both color and black and grey! Please let me know your preference when booking but no sweat if you’re unsure until day of.
-
What if I want a piece but it's outside my budget?
There definitely is some flexibility when it comes to tattoo designs! Of course, I want to work with you and your budget so oftentimes means maybe we brainstorm something similar to what you like but maybe at a smaller size or less detailed.
-
Do you only work Thursday-Saturday and Mondays?
Typically I stick to this schedule as it works best for me, BUT I am always willing to potentially work outside these days of the week or at later times than I usually schedule. This just requires communication before booking, it's always okay to send me a message through here!
-
What is your hourly rate?
I don't charge by the hour typically. All flash and custom designs are charged by the piece. If we are doing a super larger tattoo, like a full sleeve or back piece, those typically will be charged hourly. My current hourly rate for large scale projects is $220/hour.
-
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please reach out at least 48 hours before your appointment time. Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to cancel an appointment or do not show up at the scheduled time, you will not receive any portion of the deposit fee back. If you need to reschedule your appointment more than once or within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment time, you will need to pay a new deposit fee before booking your new appointment. If you no show your appointment for any reason you will have to pay a new deposit to book again. If you no show twice for any reason you will be blacklisted from my books and unable to schedule any tattoos with me. Things happen, I get it, but there's no reason not to send a quick message.
-
Can I get my deposit back?
No. Deposits are non-refundable.
-
Should I bring anything with me?
It is always smart to bring a water bottle or drink of choice, a snack, headphones or earbuds, your favorite fidget toy, etc. If you are getting a tattoo in a place like your legs or torso and want to bring a more appropriate change of clothes to provide access to the spot we're working on, that is always great!
I always have snacks/candy available in the studio and there is a water fountain right outside my door!
-
Do you offer quiet appointments?
Totally! Please request this ahead of time! I try to be good at remember to ask day of but sometimes I forget :-)
-
ADA accessibility?
Yes! The building my studio is in is accessible by elevator and there are no tight corners or uneven floor to navigate around. My studio itself is laid out in a way that is easy to maneuver.
The tattoo bed I use has a 500 pound weight limit. It is able to sit in an upright position as well as the standard flat laying position most tattoo chairs utilize! If you are uncomfortable sitting in a chair like this, placement permitting, climb tattoos can typically be done sitting in a chair/wheelchair.
-
How do I get in the building?
The studio space is located between Anchored Ship Coffee and "Couch" furniture store on Ballard Ave. There is a callbox to the left of the door. The building is unlocked until 6pm weekdays, but locked all day on weekends. Searching for my name on the callbox will allow me to buzz you in! Please send me a message if you have any trouble!
-
What's the parking situation?
Thankfully, downtown Ballard has so much parking available! There are several paid lots in the area as well as pay by phone street parking! The 40 and 44 bus lines drop off close to the space as well.
-
Can I bring a guest?
Absolutely!! I have ample seating in the studio if you wish to bring a guest with you to your appointment :-)
-
Can I book a joint appointment for multiple people/group?
Yes! Please let me know when filling out your inquiry that you are booking for however many people! That way I can set the correct amount of time to accommodate all of you on the same day. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to reach out to me before booking as well!
