Frequently Asked Questions
The Essentials
What should I do before my appointment?
I recommend staying hydrated, eating a full meal, and getting a good night’s rest. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your session.
​
How do I book an appointment?
All appointments are booked through the website. Visit the “Book Now” page and follow the steps to choose your date, and session type. Deposits are required to secure your appointment and are deducted from the total cost.
​
Can I walk in for a tattoo?
I offer appointment-based to ensure every session is created with intention and care. While I occasionally offer flash or walk-in days, these will always be announced on social media.
The Art of It All
Can I bring my own design?
I don’t copy other artists work, but we can customize it. If you have an idea in mind that needs some fine tuning, you’re welcome to book a consultation for a custom piece. We’ll work together to bring your concept to life.
Do you offer custom tattoos?
Yes — custom work is at the heart of what I do. Each piece is crafted with attention to your energy, placement, and purpose.
What styles do you specialize in?
My work is heavily inspired by botanical elements, sacred symbols, and storytelling. I focus on fine line, illustrative, and nature-inspired tattoos, but am always open to expanding and exploring.
The Healing Process
What should I expect during the healing process?
Some redness, tenderness, and peeling is completely normal. You'll be provided with aftercare instructions to support your healing journey. Always avoid soaking, sun exposure, and touching the area with unclean hands.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Yes. Touch-ups of my work are complimentary within 3 months of your original session (unless noted otherwise). Schedule via my booking link.
What products do you recommend for aftercare?
I recommend a fragrance-free, non-petroleum-based product like Aquaphor or unscented lotion for moisture and Orange Dial Soap for cleansing.
The Studio Experience
Can I bring a friend?
Due to limited space and the sacred nature of our sessions, I ask that you come alone unless otherwise approved. This ensures peace for both artist and client.
Is your space accessible?
Yes. The studio is ADA-compliant and located on the ground floor. If you have accessibility needs, please let me know in advance so I can support you.
Do you tattoo all skin tones?
Always. I am trained in tattooing all shades with care, intention, and artistry.

Aftercare Instructions
1. Leave your clear bandage applied for up to 4 days. It is common for blood and plasma to be secreted from the tattoo site to collect under the bandage, so do not be alarmed.
​
2. Remove bandage under running warm water. With clean hands, cleanse tattooed area with orange dial soap, (or any non-scented antibacterial soap). Lightly moisturize with Aquaphor. Your tattoo is essentially a new open wound, so treat it as such. Both orange dial soap and Aquaphor can be purchased anywhere with a pharmacy (walmart, cvs, walgreens). Unscented lotion, and raw unscented shea butter also works in place of Aquaphor
​
Repeat this routine every morning and evening for 5 days. If you work out, implement this routine post work out as well.
After these 5 days, leave your tattoo alone. It will scab, do not peel/pick the scab. It will itch, do not scratch your tattoo.
​
Tattoos take approximately a month to fully heal. Please consult with your artist if you have any concerns.
