HOW DO I BOOK?
I am mostly by appointment only, except for walk-in days on Monday and Tuesday or posted otherwise on social media pages. This means I do not accept walk-in consultations or tattoos, other than Mondays and Tuesdays. I do not require in person consultations unless requested. To book, please fill out a booking form found on the home page of this website. From there, I will contact you personally to discuss your tattoo. Check out my availability page for more info on scheduling.
WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES?
Most of my work is custom, which requires custom pricing. Please visit my pricing and availability page for detailed pricing info
ARE YOU LICENSED?
Yes. I am a licensed and insured business. I also hold my New Mexico State Tattoo Artist and Establishment license, as well as up to date certification in blood borne pathogens and CPR training.
WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE MY APPOINTMENT, OR AM RUNNING LATE?
I understand that life happens, and reschedules may be necessary. I offer up to 2 reschedules at no additional charge as long as at least 48 hours notice is given. Anything under 48 hours notice will require another booking fee to book again, due to the loss of work for that appointment slot.
Your studio time will begin at the scheduled time, not upon arrival. If you are running late, that time will count against your studio hours. Please plan accordingly.
In the rare case that I am running late, or unable to fulfill your appointment, the appropriate discounts or refunds will be issued.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT CLEANLINESS, WHAT ARE YOUR PRACTICES?
My client’s safety is my top priority. I am thoroughly trained in blood borne pathogens and cross contamination. I use only single use disposable needle cartridges; which I open in front of my client. My machines are covered in three layers of single use disposable cover supplies. My machine’s grip is also high heat processed as an extra safety measure. My chair and any other supportive equipment is cleaned with high concentrated medical grade cleaner before and after each client; as well as covered with disposable single use covers. My gloves are changed frequently to ensure no cross contamination is possible. For any further questions, feel free to contact me.
CAN I BOOK OUTSIDE OF YOUR AVAILABILITY?
I offer discounted studio hours during my daytime M-F availability. Anything booked outside of that availability is subject to my original hourly pricing of $175 per hour. Appointments outside of my availability may be requested but they are not guaranteed.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TATOO?
Tattooing can be pretty traumatic to our bodies. It is important to take care of yourself prior to your appointment.
Get a good nights rest, and abstain from drinking any alcohol the night before.
The day of, make sure you have a large nutritious meal. Low blood sugar can cause fainting and ill-feeling symptoms. Take a shower prior to your appointment in order to wash off any oils and beauty products. Don't worry about shaving the area. I will do that for you to prevent any razor burn or irritation, that may require a reschedule.
It is important to not take any medications that may thin your blood. Caffeine can also cause this effect, so limit your intake that morning.
DO YOU PROVIDE AFTERCARE?
yes, I will provide almost everything you will need to take care of your new tattoo. I use Recovery Derm Shield, unless my client has requested not due to allergies or any other reason. If not using this, I will make sure your tattoo is wrapped before leaving in plastic wrap. I will also provide some ointment and antibacterial soap, along with detailed instructions on aftercare. Larger tattoos may require the client to source their own additional ointment or soap, if what I provided runs out.
