Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my session?

It's important you feel good on tattoo day! 

Here are some tips to help get ready for your session:

- Wear comfy clothes

- Eat a filling breakfast

- Hydrate as much as you can leading up to your session & day of session

- Bring along snacks & drinks 

 

How long will my session take?

Each tattoo is different, but I ask that clients plan for an all day session.

 

Do you have experience tattooing BIPOC?

Yes, I have ample experience tattooing all skin tones. There are examples on my social media, and I am happy to provide more.

 

How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoos are priced hourly at $180/hr. Estimates can be provided at the time of your consultation or prior to your session.

 

How often can I schedule my sessions apart?

Each session is required to have at least a 3 week gap to allow any previous work to heal properly. If your previous work is not healed enough at the time of your appointment, you may be asked to reschedule.

 

If I'm not local, how do I go about booking?

Phone consultations are offered for clients that are out of state, or over an hour away from our shop (located at 3464 Hudson Drive Unit B, Cuyahoga Falls OH 44221). We often travel to conventions out of state, which can be a great opportunity if one happens to be closer to you. These will be announced via social media.

 

Can I see my design ahead of my appointment? What if I want to make changes?

Making your vision come to life is the goal! This is why a good description of your idea and a consultation are important. Clients will be able to see their design at their appointment time, and minor alterations on the spot may be made. Major alterations may result in rescheduling, a new consultation, and/or forfeiting your retainer fee.

 

Do you allow numbing cream?

Numbing creams are not recommended. They can alter the consistency of the skin when applied, making it difficult to tattoo properly. Numbing creams can also cause adverse skin reactions, which can lead to rescheduling and even medical issues.

 

Can I bring a guest?

It is preferred that clients arrive solo for their appointment. We are able to make accommodations if needed, so please feel free to reach out prior to your appointment.

 

Can I have my retainer fee back?

Retainers are non-refundable & non-transferrable.

 

What if I'm feeling sick the day of my appointment?

Please refrain from coming to your appointment if you are sick, or on an antibiotic/other medication that may affect the tattoo process.
