Frequently Asked Questions

Before sending me a message, please kindly read through my FAQs. Thank you!

  • Do I need to wear a mask?

    No, a mask is not necessary but it is appreciated! I, however, will be wearing one during our appointment for cautionary and sanitary reasons.

    Can I wear a mask and still come to our appointment even if I’m slightly sick?

    I recommend rescheduling with me as getting a tattoo while ill can be quite painful. Please stay home and get better!

  • What do you want to tattoo?

    I really enjoy tattooing delicately bold female figures with a touch of blush & blood ;-) I am particularly inspired by traditional Asian paintings and anime/manga, so anything related to that sounds fun too!

    What’s the difference between flash and customs?

    Flash designs are a predetermined designs that I have drawn for you to pick from! Occasionally, they are non-repeatable, but for the most part, they are relatable until I choose to discontinue them. Minor changes can be made. Custom designs are a one-off design that I draw specifically for clients who request them, and I do not reuse the design. I am only able to accept 4 custom design requests per month!

  • Can I use numbing cream?

    I am no longer able to accept your tattoo request if you wish to apply numbing cream in the following areas: hands, feet, stomach, neck, back, and glutes. For other areas, I don’t mind, but recommend researching how numbing cream can affect your skin. There have been many cases where numbing agents have caused tattoos to fade and become patchy. Please inform me if you plan to use numbing cream as it will need to be applied at least 1.5 hours prior to our appointment.

    How can I prepare for my tattoo?

    I recommend drinking lots of water regardless, but a large intake of water at least 2 weeks before your appointment and moisturizing/exfoliating will help lessen the pain and make it easier for the ink to settle in your skin! Please eat before your appointment as I will send you away to eat if you arrive with an empty stomach.

  • What form of payment do you accept?

    I accept Zelle and Cash but I prefer cash!

    How much is “acceptable” amount of tip?

    I appreciate tips of all kinds! Whether that be monetary, gifts, or snacks, I am sincerely grateful for your kindness :-)

    How long will my tattoo take?

    Please prepare a full day for me to tattoo you as most of my appointments start at 1pm. When requesting an appointment, please provide days with the most flexible timing as time pressure may cause me to rush through your tattoo and I would like to be able to perfect them!

    What should I wear to my appointment?

    Please wear either black clothing or items that you don’t care about in case there’s an accident and ink accidentally gets on your clothes! I would also appreciate it if you could wear clothes that do not cover the area/easily moveable for me to access the area. If you are getting a back/frontal tattoo, I recommend wearing pasties as I do not have any to provide at the moment.

    Can I bring guests?

    Our shop is currently only allowing 1 guest per client at this time as we are not able to accommodate for more than that. Thank you for understanding!

  • Can you remind me of the instructions?

    The saniderm I provide is good for 3-4 days and is water resistant but not water proof. You’ll be good to shower, but no gyming for the next 2 weeks and no submerging the area in water! The corners may lift which is normal!

    Please remove the saniderm immediately if you notice any of the following:

    • leakage of blood/plasma from saniderm

    • foreign water/moisture inside the saniderm

    • exposure of tattoo

    • any itching/burnng feeling around the saniderm within the first 24 hours of application

    Please remove the saniderm under warm running water. After removal, you can apply a thin layer of A&D ointment, Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, or an unscented lotion for a week.

    What do I need to avoid?

    Tattoos take 4 weeks long to fully heal. Within this time, please avoid direct sunlight, scratching, swimming, and wearing clothes with material that rubs against the tattoo.
