Complex pieces require consultation which most times can be done through call.

How long in advance should I book?

You can book up to 3 months in advance.

Once you do a consultation keep in mind the quote given is only valid for another 3 months.

I do not take walk-ins, tattoos are appointment based.  

Large projects require at least 2 weeks in advance for booking.

What should I do to prepare for my tattoo?

To prepare for your tattoo, make sure to get a good night's sleep, eat well and stay hydrated. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and blood-thinning medications before your session. 

If you are feeling unwell please contact me as soon as possible, even if it is on the day of your tattoo. 

How do I care for my new tattoo?

I always provide skin barrier for the costumers after the session, that should keep the tattoo protected for the first couple of days.

For the following days after removing the skin barrier I recommend using "Hustle Butter" which is a product created by tattoo artists to keep your tattoo moisturized during the healing process. 

A very thin layer should work, anything in excess could cause on a reaction due excess of oil or pore cloaging. 

Where can I find you?

I am currently based in North Miami - Florida

Address is provided as soon as you book the session with me.

 

When in New York, I work at StayOnPoint tattoo

located in Long Island City - Queens 

42-17 35th ave

 

How much are the tattoos?

I charge a minimum of $150 per tattoo. 

All piece estimates are given per piece based of intricacy, size and placement on the body. 

Your tattoo won't necessarily need a full day but in case it does...

Full day is $1500

(around 7-8h of tattoo)

For pieces that need multiple full sessions, price is different ($1200 per session)

For clients that have ongoing projects, I can also do half sessions that consist in around 4h of work priced at $700

 

What forms of payment do you take?

I DO take cash, venmo or zelle as forms of payment. 

you can enroll your card for venmo payments if that is preferred.

I DO NOT take card, cashapp or check as forms of payment! Thank you for understanding.

Bitcoin is also possible but full value of piece should be transferred before the appointment date due some providers take longer than other for the transferrence.

Do I need to leave a deposit?

A non-refundable / non-transferrable deposit is required in order to lock in a date and start working on your project. 

Deposits are deducted from the total balance on your appointment day. 

For multiple session piece, deposit is discounted on last session.

You will forfeit your deposit if you..

- Arrive more than 15 min late without notice.

- Change your mind about the concept when consultation was already done and design was already created. 

(ex : on consultation day you chose a rose on your shoulder and days later decide you want a dragon on your thigh instead. In order to design the new concept I do require a new deposit. Old deposit goes towards the design that was not used and will not be deducted on new piece. )

- Don't show up on the day of your appointment

- Attempt to reschedule less than 48h prior to appointment.

- Attempt to reschedule the same tattoo more than twice 

Please contact if you know you will be late and keep in mind we may need to cancel due time restraints. 

* please contact us if you are feeling sick close to your appointment date.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Yes, we understand life happens and sometimes unpredictable situations can occur. 

I however require 48h prior to your appointment date in order to reschedule. 

Appointments can only be rescheduled twice and dates should be picked in a 3 month window at most.

Please keep in mind if you attempt to reschedule less than 48h prior to your appointment your deposit will be forfeited and a new one will be charged in order to pick another date. 

If you're not feeling well please contact me or the shop as soon as possible.

Can I bring someone with me?

Tattoos are a very personal experience, therefor company during the tattoo process is not permitted.

Can I use numbing cream?

I don't personally carry numbing products to sell, but I have few brands I recommed, per request. Keep in mind the pain will still be existent, just reduced. 

Numbing cream can also make the tattoo heal lighter than it should, in case more than 60% of the tattoo needs touch up after it heals due numbing cream usage, a maintenance fee will be charged.

 

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes, gift cards can be requested on the booking page or during your tattoo session. I am working on a way to send physical cards, when I do I will have it posted on my instagram/website.

You don't have to specify who it is for, you get a number which can only be used once. 

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

I only tattoo people that are 18yo or older. 

Even with the parent consent, I do not condone the tattooing of minors.

Thank you for understanding.
