Question 1

before the appointment

Accepted Answer

i always strongly recommend that you make sure to eat at least one good meal and drink water before you come in! i typically ask that you do not shave the area prior to the appointment if you don’t shave regularly to avoid the risk of razor burn and irritation of the skin.

Question 2

colored ink?

Accepted Answer

i obviously use a lot of colored ink when I tattoo! colored inks, especially lighter colors, tend to fade faster than black ink, although how long any kind of ink takes to fade can vary a lot from person to person. when I design my work, I try to keep a balance of darker and lighter colors so that even if some of the color fades, the tattoo is still readable.

Question 3

touch ups?

Accepted Answer

i always recognize that parts of my work will inevitably fade over time- because of this, i will always do the first touch up for free, regardless of how much time has passed since the appointment. if, down the line, you think you would like to come back in to get it freshened up again, shoot me an email and i'll throw you in my schedule! 
(all subsequent touch-ups will have a small charge)

Question 4

where are you located?

Accepted Answer

for the moment, i am hopping around the seattle area doing guest spots at various shops! my plans for the future are kind of up in the air right now, so right now i'm not taking bookings past the end of december- info on which shop's im going to be tattooing out of is on the home page!

Question 5

flash?

Accepted Answer

flash are pre-drawn, ready-to-tattoo designs that tattoo artists put up for grabs for clients to pick out! i do both repeatable and non-repeatable flash, meaning some of my designs are available to be done on multiple clients over and over again, and some of them are only one-time unique pieces.
