TOUCH UP POLICY

Sometimes our tattoos need a little extra love. If your tattoo is in need of some TLC, send us an email and we can book you in for a touch up session.

Touch ups are free within the first three months of your initial appointment, excluding finger tattoos. Beyond that, touch ups will be $50.00. Full payment required to book and non refundable if you cancel within 48 hours of your appointment or no show. Exception for emergencies.

The absolute best time for touch ups is when you are in getting a new tattoo! We save time, costs and supplies! Just let us know when you are booking and we can allocate time for touchups as needed.

DEPOSIT/CANCELLATION REQUIREMENT

I require a $100 deposit to secure your spot. Please send deposit once I have confirmed your date. The deposit will go towards the total cost of the tattoo.

48 hour notice is required if you need to reschedule your appointment. No showed appointments/cancellation within the 48 hour period will result in a loss of deposit. For the exception of emergencies.

If you are running late, please text (597-879-4405). If no contact has been made after 15 minutes beyond original appointment time, I need to continue on with my day. Life is busy, but along with your time, I need to value and respect your fellow clients time and my time. Thank you for understanding.

WALK INS WELCOME

Walk-ins are always welcome! If I am tattooing at the time you walk in, we can book for later in the day or at a future date! If you walk up and the door is locked, shoot me a text at 587-879-4405 and I’ll get back to you asap!

TATTOO AFTERCARE

Congratulations on your new tattoo! Proper aftercare is essential for healing and ensuring your tattoo looks its best. Please follow the guidelines below based on your healing method.

General Aftercare Tips for All Tattoos

  • Keep it clean: Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.
  • Avoid soaking: Stay away from baths, swimming pools, and hot tubs during the healing process.
  • Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight clothes that may irritate the tattooed area.
  • No picking or scratching: It’s normal for tattoos to itch or peel. Do not pick at scabs or flaking skin.

Aftercare for Tattoos Healed with Second Skin

  1. Initial Care
    • Keep the second skin on for at least 3-4 days. This barrier helps protect your tattoo from bacteria and irritation.
  2. First Removal
    • Carefully remove the second skin. Gently peel it back, starting from one corner. If it feels stuck, moisten it with water before removing. I always recommend taking it off whole you are in the shower.
  3. Washing
    • Clean the tattoo with mild, unscented soap and lukewarm water. Use your hand to gently wash the area—avoid scrubbing.
  4. Drying
    • Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel. Do not rub.
  5. Moisturizing
    • Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer (such as a specialized tattoo aftercare ointment) to keep the area hydrated. Repeat this 2-3 times daily for the first two weeks.
  6. Long-term Care
    • Continue to moisturize for at least 4 weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed. Use sunscreen on the tattoo once healed to prevent fading.

Aftercare for Tattoos Healed with a One-Day Wrap

  1. Initial Care (First 24 Hours)
    • Keep the wrap on for one day. This helps to protect the tattoo from bacteria and friction.
  2. First Removal
    • After 24 hours, carefully remove the wrap. If it’s stuck, moisten it with water before removal.
  3. Washing
    • Clean the tattoo with mild, unscented soap and lukewarm water. Gently wash the area with your hand, avoiding scrubbing.
  4. Drying
    • Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel. Do not rub.
  5. Moisturizing
    • Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer to the tattoo. Repeat this 2-3 times daily for the first two weeks.
  6. Long-term Care
    • Continue to moisturize for at least 4 weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed. Always apply sunscreen to the tattoo once healed.
