First a consultation is booked where we discuss the concept of your idea. This can be completed via email or in person.

From there, we book a tattoo appointment. A $200 non-refundable deposit will be required. No appointment will be made without one, and no design drawn before deposit is paid.

My designs are usually complete a full week prior to your appointment (some exceptions made) and at that time, a sketch will be emailed to the client. This is a sketch only, and does not include shading/colour details. Small tweaks to the design are allowed but any design requiring a full re-draw will come at the cost of your deposit.

As often as I’m able. As every piece is unique and I work with several clients at once, it is hard to navigate the individual requirements of each and every piece I take on. Many tattoos require multiple sessions, and I’d hate to take on everything that came my way and leave people with incomplete work for months. Thus, I take on only so much as my schedule allows.

Eat a good meal before arriving. Bring snacks/drinks, especially if you have a long session. Keeping your blood sugar levels up will ensure a better experience.

Do NOT drink the night before your tattoo! Alcohol thins your blood and makes you bleed more which can push the ink from your pores causing it to heal poorly, and need touch-ups. Plus do you really want to be hungover whilst receiving a tattoo?

*You can, but do not have to shave the area prior to your tattoo.

Cash, e-transfer.

There is a parking lot around back for shops located at 2425 Bevan Ave, however spaces are limited. For short appointments or consultations, there is free 2 hour street parking.

One block further on 4th Ave is also free parking.

I charge $190/hour plus GST.

Short answer- alot.

It take hours and many sessions complete a sleeve and prices can vary between $1k-5k, and some more than that. Price depends upon level of detail, and style (colour usually takes a little longer, but don’t let that discourage you if you want colour!)

Comfy clothes! It already hurts, why be fashionable? But here are tips for those certain areas.

Getting your back tattooed? Bring an open sweater to wear backwards. You’ll be covered but I can still access your back! This works for larger rib pieces too.

Sternum tattoo- bring that opened button up and hoodie!

Thigh/Hip area- a loose fitting skirt. Sometime bikini bottoms.

Getting the back of your neck tattooed and you have long hair? Bring a hair elastic!

No. You must be at leat 18 years old to receive a tattoo.

However if you are 17 years old and are turning 18 years old shortly, I will consult with you. However any actual tattoo appointment must be booked after your 18th birthday.

Whilst Covid is still prevalent, I ask that you come alone if possible. That said, accommodations can be made if need be. Just be sure to mention this when booking.

Animals are my absolute favourite!! But I generally enjoy nature, outer space, pretty ladies, and DORKY themed pieces! We all have our quirks, and I love it when people want to embrace that side of themselves, whatever that may entail.

Yes, absolutely!

There are many styles I do not work in, and for this reason I may suggest you find another artist. Your tattoo really will turn out better if you find an artist just as excited about your piece as you are. Styles I do not work in include: Traditional, tribal, Polynesian, Haida art, Japanese, Trash Polka, and microtattoos (this does not mean small tattoos, but tattoos with extreme levels of detail that I do to believe will stand the test of time).
