Policies and procedures

I am here to guide you through the booking and tattoo experience with care and intention. If your ideas for your tattoo exceed what is possible to describe in the short prompt, I offer free consultations anytime during business hours for anyone who wants to get a more involved approach to any tattoo. I like to design my work based on the size it will be on the body, so sometimes I prefer having consultations for larger scale tattoos so that I can get the proper measurements to each unique body. To get started in the appointment booking process, click the “booking forms” tab on the top of this page, fill out the information in each box with your correct name, email and phone number where I can reach you!

I respond to booking forms on a bi-daily to weekly basis, so once you’ve sent your booking form, you should receive a text from me shortly after. Once we’ve discussed your tattoo and a date and time for the appointment, a non-refundable $100 deposit is required, and will come off the final cost of your tattoo on the set appointment day. For larger pieces (i.e. backpiece, torso, sleeve) a non-refundable $250 deposit is required, and will come off the final cost of the piece on the FINAL set appointment day. My current hourly rate is $150, but I also offer bulk hour deals and will be implementing more referral deals as I grow my roots here in Albuquerque!

Reschedules happen! Sometimes things come up in life mentally, physically, or financially that we are not ready for. I ask that my clients come to their appointments prepared, or communicate to me if they can’t, and I vow to do the same! If you need to reschedule please give a minimum 24 hour notice and I will coordinate with you for availability for another appointment. Your deposit will be valid through ONE reschedule on your part, a second reschedule will cost another deposit. If a client does not call prior to cancel or reschedule and doesn’t show to their appointment, the deposit is forfeit and another one must be paid before another appointment is scheduled.

When filling out the booking form, please include helpful descriptors of the tattoo you’re wanting. This can include stylistic preference, color ideas, detail choices, and composition. If you are using photo references, I ask that it is not the work of another tattoo artist or AI generated. If photo references are used please also include any tips on what you like or dislike about the reference. You will be able to view your tattoo design in person only on the day of your appointment. This way we can work together on the tattoo and make any changes to the design if needed.

When you come in for your appointment, feel free to bring any comfort items you may need throughout the tattoo process including but not limited to headphones, snacks, books, trinkets, bubbles, etch-a-sketch, heelys, or other comfortable clothing items. The only restrictions I have are no alcohol, no pets, and no drama. Come as you are and enjoy the experience! Feel free to take all the pictures of the stencil and tattoo process that your heart could desire. The tattoo will outlive this moment in time, so capture its creation as you see fit. I am honored to be a part of your tattoo journey and I hope you love wearing these gifts for life! <3
