 - Wisconsin state law requires that clients must be at least 18 years old with valid government issued ID. 

 - Minimum is $100

 - Hourly rate is $150 / hour 

- An invoice will be emailed to you from Square, which I use for all scheduling and card processing. That invoice can be paid securely online. You may also pay your deposit when you come in for a consultation.

- The appointment deposit guarantees your spot in the schedule and will be deducted from the price of your tattoo.

- Cash is preferred on the day of your tattoo appointment, but I do accept Venmo, Zelle, and credit / debit cards through Square payment processing. All credit and debit card payments will incur a 3% processing fee.

- Deposits can be transferred to ONE other appointment if you need to reschedule. If you reschedule a second time, a new deposit is required. I ask for at least 24 hour notice for rescheduling. Less than 24 hours notice or no-shows will forfeit their deposit.

 - I do offer a free touch up within the first two (2) months of your tattoo appointment. This is to fix any spots that may have not stayed during the initial healing process.  

- Short answer: No

I don't offer numbing products, and have found that they make the skin more difficult to tattoo. This will make your tattoo take longer to apply, and can effect the healing process. If you choose to use a skin numbing product, I do not guarantee the outcome of your tattoo and will not provide a free touch up.

- My tattoo studio is small... While you may think that having a friend will help distract you during the tattoo process, the truth is that they also distract me. That being said, if you would feel more comfortable having moral support, ONE guest is OK. 

- Have something to eat an hour before your appointment

- Arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time to fill out a release form and get your design sized correctly. 

- Please silence your phone during the tattoo, and do not use Face Time or speaker phone at any time while in the shop.
