I charge by the hour, and my minimum is $160/hour.

Yes, I do. I charge by the piece.

For a small custom-designed tattoo, a $25 design fee is standard.

Yes, I require a $100 deposit. Deposits ensure that you are committed and will show up on the time and date of the appointment(s) I set up for you. Your deposit goes towards the final price of your tattoo at the end of your appointment.

Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

I sell aftercare supplies on location, but you are not required to buy them. My aftercare instructions will work with most products.

Tattoo Goo sells for $5 - $10 (Depending on size)

For discounts or special pricing, contact me directly and ask :)

Not following aftercare instructions can lead to unnecessary issues such as minor - large touchups, infections, and irritated skin.

I ask all my clients to follow my aftercare instructions closely for the safest, quickest healing, best looking, and hassle-free tattoo experience.

I ask all of my clients only to follow my aftercare instructions.

Aftercare instructions are often debated between artists; My aftercare instructions come from over 25 years of testing handed down to me and are proven to work every time.

Always follow your artist's instructions, please :)

Yes it is normal, scabbing over is a normal part of the healing process. The more solid color and shading the more scabbing you can expect.

Slight inflammation, burning, or red skin from irritation is normal after getting your tattoo. Any symptoms should go away after about a day or two.

If your tattoo is not healing correctly, please reach out to me, and I will help you.

I do, but only selectively. Don't hesitate to contact me and schedule an in-person consultation if you'd like a coverup!

Yes you can! Two friends max please!

I'm currently located at Lotus Tattoo in Camrose, Alberta, Canada.

Yes, there are some things you can do!

• Do not suntan for a few days before getting your tattoo.

• Moisturize the general area 3+ times a day.

• Eat and hydrate before coming in!

• Make sure you're not overtired or hungover for your appointment.

• Triple check any spelling, dates, times, etc., if your tattoo will have any.

I do not tattoo anyone under the influence of any mind alerting substance.

If you come in drunk I will turn you away and reschedule your appointment.

Do not get high before coming in for a tattoo, it does not help with the pain.

Do not use numbing cream. If you apply numbing cream before your tattoo, my stencil will not stick to your skin correctly. I am also not comfortable pushing products unknown to me into your body while I tattoo you.

If you need to take a break or schedule another session during the tattoo, let me know, and I will work with you!

How tattoos feel varies widely; physique, tattoo size, placement, and style affect how your tattoo will feel.

If you're worried about the pain, I suggest starting with a small tattoo. Although most of my clients that are scared of how it will feel end up saying, "Oh, is that it? I thought it was going to be so much worse!".

If you're scared you won't like your tattoo; you should tell me you're not comfortable getting it. Tattoos are not easily removed, and you should only get one if you're sure you want it.

Even if you've paid me to draw a design for you and would like to back out last moment, please don't hesitate to let me know. I won't be mad, and I would never push you into getting a tattoo you're unsure of.
