Question 5

Do you accept AI Generated reference photos?

Accepted Answer

No, please do not send me AI generated tattoo references or prompts you have created - I will move on to the next client. 
Instead do this :) add any real reference photos / color swatches / styles - and describe what you're hoping to see even if it is vague.

Question 6

Appointment Requests:

Accepted Answer

Please note that submitting a booking request does not guarantee an appointment. 
The number of new clients or projects I can take on depends on how full my schedule is each quarter.
If you haven’t been contacted by the time the current scheduling period closes, please feel free to resubmit your request when books reopen next quarter—my availability changes each cycle.
I receive a high volume of inquiries (thank you so much—y’all seriously rock!), and while I do my best, I’m not always able to respond to every message or accommodate every request.

Question 7

If your Request is Approved:

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive a text with a link to my calendar to choose a date and time that works best for you. 
Appointments are first come, first served and only held once your $100 deposit and form are submitted.
After I approve your selected date, you’ll receive the deposit form and payment link. Once both are completed, your appointment will be confirmed.
About 1–2 weeks before your session, I’ll send you a design form where you can share your ideas, reference images, and specific requests. 
I’ll review your form and follow up via text as your appointment approaches to fine-tune the details and make sure we’re aligned on the design.

Question 8

Appointment Wait Times:

Accepted Answer

Wait times typically range from 3 to 12+ months, depending on my current workload and availability. Since I focus primarily on large-scale projects, I prioritize follow-up sessions first, then schedule existing clients. 
If space allows, I’m happy to open spots for new clients.
I love doing tattoos of all sizes and styles, but smaller pieces and new client spots can fill up quickly or be unavailable in some booking cycles. 
That said, my availability changes every round—so if you have not received a response please submit during the next opening!

Question 9

Cancellation and Waitlist:

Accepted Answer

Cancellations will go to booked clients so long as it does not disrupt the scheduled sessions.
​​
You will have access to my waitlist only if you were sent a booking text and could not find a day that fit your availability.

​​

Question 10

Consultations:

Accepted Answer

I do not typically offer in-person consultations, as my schedule is usually filled with appointments throughout the day.
Please note: I do not discuss, consult or offer pricing on designs unless an appointment has been booked. Once your appointment is confirmed, you’ll receive a design form where you can share your ideas, reference images, and any specific requests.
From there, I’ll review your form and connect with you via text as your appointment approaches to fine-tune the design and make sure we’re aligned on the direction.
Thanks so much for your understanding—I look forward to working together when the time is right!
