Please review these policies before submitting a booking request.

- • Separate designs require separate deposits.

Touch-Ups
- • Touch-ups are not included for free.

Artwork & Design Policy
All tattoo designs are custom-created for each client. A deposit reserves your appointment time and my preparation work, but does not transfer ownership or reproduction rights of the artwork. Designs are intended to be tattooed exclusively by me and are not for resale, replication, or use by another artist.
I welcome inspiration images to understand your vision, but I do not copy other artists’ work. Instead, I translate your ideas into an original design that fits your anatomy and personal style. Minor refinements are welcome; significant redesigns may require additional time or a new booking.
Once a design is tattooed, it becomes yours to wear proudly. Thank you for honoring the originality of the work and the years invested in developing my style.
Age Requirement & Consent
18+ Only
I do not tattoo minors. You must be 18 years or older to book and receive a tattoo.
Valid ID Required
Please bring a government-issued photo ID on the day of your appointment. Without valid ID, the appointment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited.
Health & Safety
I follow strict hygiene standards, using single-use needles and sterilized equipment. If you are feeling ill, have active skin conditions in the area, or are taking medications that affect bleeding/healing, please inform me in advance. I reserve the right to decline service if it may compromise your health or the quality of the tattoo.
Lateness & No‑Shows
Please arrive on time. Arrivals more than 15 minutes late may need to be rescheduled at my discretion. No‑shows or last‑minute cancellations (less than 48 hours) will forfeit the deposit.
Travel Appointments
Rescheduling Policy for Out-of-LA Appointments
When I travel outside of Los Angeles for appointments, rescheduling works differently than local bookings. Since I am not based in the travel city, I cannot easily fill appointment slots that become available due to cancellations.
Important:
- If you need to reschedule a travel appointment, your original deposit will be forfeited.
- To reschedule, you must submit a new deposit to secure a new appointment time.
- This policy applies regardless of how much advance notice you provide.
This policy helps ensure that travel appointments are taken seriously, as last-minute changes can result in unfilled time slots that cannot be easily rebooked in a city where I don't have a permanent presence.
Payments
Accepted Methods
Payment methods will be shared when we confirm your appointment. The deposit is applied to your final total.
Estimates
Quotes are estimates based on size, placement, and complexity. Final pricing may adjust to reflect the actual time and materials used.
Privacy & Photography
Photos & Social
I may photograph your tattoo for my portfolio and social media. If you prefer not to be photographed or tagged, please let me know and I will absolutely respect your privacy.
Personal Information
Your contact information is used only for booking and communication regarding your appointment. I do not share your information with third parties.
By submitting a deposit or booking request, you confirm that you have read and agree to these policies. If you have any questions, I’m happy to clarify.
