HOW DO DEPOSITS WORK?
A deposit is required to book an appointment and range from $100-$500, depending on size and time needed to complete the tattoo. Your deposit will go toward the price of the tattoo. For multiple session tattoos, the deposit will be applied to the last session. Deposits are non-transferrable or refundable, they can be applied to a future session for you, but not for another person. If you need to reschedule, please do so within 72 hours of the appointment time to avoid forfeiting your deposit. Your are allotted a maximum of two reschedules. If you reschedule more than twice and additional deposit will be required.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
I recommend for you to be well-rested, showered and have already eaten a decent meal with plenty of water before you arrive for your appt. Please be sure to eat prior to arrival, not once you get here.
Being tattooed will consume quite a bit of your energy, so I recommend you bring a snack with you if you have an extensive session. Please do not over-consume alcohol or party the day/night prior to an appointment. Avoid excessive exposure to sun at least 2 weeks prior to your session; I will not be able to tattoo sunburned, flaking skin. Also, if you are taking any type of blood thinning medications, please inform me before appt date.
Be sure to bring with you a PHYSICAL, valid form of Identification such as; a Driver’s License, Passport, or Military ID card. Printed Copies and pictures on your phone will not be acceptable forms of identification. Lastly, please be sure to have your payment method account up to date with passwords and billing information.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TATTOO?
Saniderm /Adhesive Bandage
Leave on wrap/bandage for a minimum of 72 hours after appt date. Keep on NO Longer than 7 total days. The wrap is water resistant, but not water-PROOF, please DO NOT Submerge in water while adhered to your tattoo.
To Remove, use warm soapy water to first peel up the corners, then peel parallel to the surface of the skin. PULL SLOWLY. Then wash tattoo with a mild non-scented soap using your fingertips. I would suggest using the gold anti-bacterial Dial or Softsoap hand soap for best results. Rinse thoroughly. Blot-dry with a dry, clean paper towel. DO NOT use bath towel or wash cloth to dry.
Once dry to the touch, moisturize with a white, non-scented, non-medicated lotion. I recommend using Lubriderm, Aveeno or Pure Cocoa Butter.
For the next 10-14 days after you have removed wrap/bandage, you should be washing tattoo in morning and at nighttime. Moisturize 3-5 times daily with a light layer of lotion.
Avoid sun exposure and scratching your tattoo while it is healing.
Saran Wrap
Leave on wrap until the next morning, no longer than 24 hours. Wash tattoo with a mild non-scented soap using your fingertips. I would suggest using the gold anti-bacterial Dial or Softsoap hand soap for best results. Rinse thoroughly. Blot-dry with a dry, clean paper towel. DO NOT use bath towel or wash cloth to dry.
Take small amount of petroleum-based ointment (such as A&D ointment or Aquaphor) warm up in hand and gently massage on to tattoo. Be sure to use minimal amount to cover the entire tattoo. It should look like a light sheen of product.
Wash tattoo in am and pm and use ointment for 3-5 days after removing wrap. After those 3-5 days, switch to a white, non-scented, non-medicated lotion.
For next 10-14 days, continue washing twice daily and Moisturize 3-5 times daily with a light layer of lotion.
Avoid sun exposure and scratching your tattoo while it is healing.
