to confirm a booking, a non refundable deposit of 50% of the total price is requested. the deposit will come off the total price of the tattoo and covers the time spent drawing the design, as the design will be sent to you before the session.

one (1) consultation of 15 minutes is free. consultations from there on are charged at $250/hr which includes drawing sessions too.

to ensure that there is enough allocated time in appointments, i will estimate the quoted price to allow flexibility depending on the individual tattoo and the information you’ve provided, and to ensure that we’ve got time for changing the design during corrospondance, breaks, grounding etc.. i always draw the design before the session and send to you, so that when you arrive, you know exactly what you’re getting. if however we end up spending more time than expected during the session due to for example indecisiveness of placement, motive/design etc, the price is subject to change.

for offers such as discount given through messages, the offer is available for 48 hrs - after that, the initial price will be applied.

Remember, your tattoo also reflects the hours of work put into the design and labour whereas your deposit secures the time and ongoing correspondence.

reschedules made up until 7 days prior to the session can transfer the deposit to a new booking, one time. if you wish to reschedule again, the deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit has to be made to book in again.

cancellations made up until 7 days prior to the session can transfer the deposit to a new booking, one time. if you cancel again, the deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit has to be made to book in again.

if you’re getting your tattoo in a high traffic area such as but not limited to neck, fingers or feet, please read the following of high traffic areas and expected healing:

✤ why hand, neck and feet tattoos may not last ✤

tattoos on the hands and feet as well as neck and behind the ear are known to fade faster and may not hold up as well over time compared to tattoos on other parts of the body. This is due to several factors:

1. skin thickness and texture

the skin on the neck, hands and feet is different from other areas. It is generally thicker / more delicate and has more creases and folds, which can cause the ink to spread or fade unevenly. hand tattoos are more prone to fading and not lasting as long as tattoos on other parts of the body because the skin on the hands regenerates faster due to the high amount of use and exposure to elements like sunlight and frequent washing. this constant renewal of skin cells can cause the tattoo ink to break down more quickly, leading to fading over time.

2. constant use and friction

the neck, hands and feet are subjected to constant use and friction. everyday activities such as washing hair/ hands, wearing shoes, and walking can cause the tattoo to wear down more quickly.

3. exposure to elements

hands, neck and feet are more exposed to elements like water, sunlight, and chemicals, which can contribute to the fading of the tattoo.
