My hourly rate is 150 CAD. The cost of the tattoo will depend on the time required to complete it. The number of hours needed will vary based on the style, size, and placement of the tattoo on your body. Additionally, I have selected projects that I’d like to realize at a discounted rate of 30% to 60%. I recommend checking out my Instagram profile or the Flash page for more details.

What is the deposit amount, and why is it needed? A deposit is necessary to confirm your appointment.

It is non-refundable but will be applied toward the final cost of your tattoo.

If you need to reschedule, you can do so with at least 72 hours’ notice.

Yes, I can provide the design for you to review the day before your tattoo session, but this needs to be booked in advance. 

Cover-ups require careful planning and consideration.

During our consultation, I will walk you through the available options and help you choose the best approach.

Tattooing over scars is possible; however, before starting a new project, I will need to personally examine the scarred area to ensure it has healed properly and is ready for tattooing.

Yes

On average, the outer layer of skin heals within 2 to 4 weeks. However, it can take up to 6 months for the deeper layers of skin to fully heal. Proper aftercare is essential during this period to ensure the tattoo heals correctly and retains its quality.

It’s best to avoid alcohol before your tattoo session. Alcohol thins the blood, which can lead to excessive bleeding during the tattoo process, making it harder to apply the ink and potentially affecting the final result. It’s recommended to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Yes, tanning or using a tanning bed can affect your tattoo. UV rays from the sun or a tanning bed can fade the colors and details of your tattoo over time. It’s important to protect your tattoo by using sunscreen once it’s fully healed or by covering it when exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid tanning beds and excessive sun exposure, especially while the tattoo is still healing.

Yes, there are certain contraindications to getting a tattoo. These include skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the area to be tattooed, as well as blood disorders, allergies to tattoo ink, and compromised immune systems. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any underlying health issues, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional before getting a tattoo. Always inform your tattoo artist about any medical conditions or medications you are taking.

Yes, tattoos can change over time. Factors such as aging, sun exposure, and changes in skin elasticity can cause the tattoo to fade or blur slightly. Additionally, weight fluctuations or muscle growth can affect the appearance of the tattoo. Proper care, including using sunscreen and keeping the skin moisturized, can help preserve the tattoo’s appearance for longer.

Yes, friends can be present during the tattoo session.

I don’t recommend using numbing cream, as it can slightly alter the skin and, once it wears off, the pain can be more intense. In some cases, it only lasts a few minutes, while other times it may work for about an hour.

That said, I understand that for larger tattoos, you might need some extra relief for the more sensitive areas. I do offer an anesthetic spray, but it can only be applied once the skin is open.
