SHOP POLICIES

If you choose to speak out of turn about anyone that is BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, houseless, body shame, ANY type of derogatory language one of two things will happen depending on the severity of the situation. 

1. You will be granted a one time learning/ teaching moment where changed behavior is expected immediately following.

2. You will be asked to leave the premises (potentially forfeiting any and all deposits)

​

We place a high value on keeping this a safe space for people and if that is compromised we will do whatever is necessary to correct the situation.

​

If it is found that you are under the influence we are happy to arrange a safe ride home for you and discuss matters with you at a later date when you are sober and of sound body and mind.  Morally, ethically, and legally we cannot provide services to you if you are under the influence.

​

Please arrive clean and comfortable.

​

Come dressed as you please. We suggest something that is comfortable and suitable for the service you are seeking. However, if you look like you crawled out of a mud puddle we may need to reschedule your appointment. We cannot safely or adequately provide sanitary services if the service area is drastically affected by visible/ physical dirt.

PIERCING POLICIES

If you walk in you are not guaranteed a service.

 

If our staff is unavailable we will suggest you make an appointment. 

​

​In order to be guaranteed you will be assisted at a specific time, an appointment is required.

​

Be sure to follow our social media accounts to be in the know about walk in availability!

 

Appointments required for guaranteed piercing and jewelry services.

​

A 5 Minute tardiness grace period is allowed for a 30 minute appointment slot. If you arrive past this grace period without prior communication with your piercer, you forfeit your deposit.

​

All Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE. Credit may be retained for rescheduling ONLY with 48 hour notice, barring life/ medical emergencies.

​

Deposits are to secure your appointment and are applied to your total. Jewelry cost is separate and can start in the $20-35 range and can increase into the hundreds depending on size, shape, material and piercing type.

​

​

TATTOO POLICIES

​​​

All tattoos are based on the amount of work which roughly equals out to $200/hour with a absolute minimum of $100. Certain factors can vary such as more delicate or stretchy parts of the body may cost a little more than the same piece on a limb. I will always give a price estimate and I can work with a budget if requested but a finalized price will not be set until after the design is printed as a stencil in final size and detail.

 

All appointments require a $50 deposit that will be put towards the total cost of the tattoo. Deposits can be refunded ONLY with a 48 hour cancellation notice. You may also reschedule 1 time and move the deposit forward but a second cancellation does not qualify for a refund. Deposits can be received via Cash App, Venmo or in person at the studio as cash or card.

 

Creative freedom is appreciated but with custom designs please be SURE to include as much detail as possible and any references so I have the closest idea in mind to yours. If you would like a tattoo chosen for you I have plenty of premade designs and flash or a gumball machine you can spin for $125. The final design will not be shown to you until the day of your appointment. Modifications to a design can always be made day of but any major changes or change of design completely will need to be rescheduled which your deposit is good for 1 time.

 

Each tattoo’s healing stage will depend on several variables unique to its own experience, such as type of skin (i.e. placement on the body, age, hydration, genetics, ect), type of ink, type of needles, technique, and duration of the tattooing process. It is up to each artist to do the math and base the aftercare on the equation of the individual tattooing session. In considering that ー PLEASE DO NOT apply anyone else’s aftercare to my tattoos or attempt to replace another artist’s instructions for their tattoos with mine. The science is unique to every artist and every session. I do not tattoo genitalia, eyeballs, eyelids or insides of mouths or any permanent makeup.

 

No hate speech, discriminatory or gang affiliated tattoos or language will be tolerated. Sexual harassment of myself or anyone else in the studio will get you booted out with no refund or reschedules and potentially an unfinished tattoo.

 

Show up sober, hygienic and on time.

 

There is a 15 minute safe window, later than that without informing me is a cancelled appointment.

 

Bring your ID, hydration, phone charger and anything else you might need.

 

HYDRATE AND EAT BEFORE HAND. Getting tattooed hungry is a big cause of passing out! Cash is preferred but I take Cash App and Venmo as well.

 

For all other questions message via Instagram, Facebook or Email.
