FAQs

1. How do I book an appointment?

Emailing me. Visit the 'Appointment' tab for further instructions. 

2. What is your rate?

$150/hr or I will price by the piece, depending on the size/detail of the project. 

3. Do you require a deposit?

Yes, $50 non-refundable deposit is required to claim/confirm appointment. It is refundable in a case by case basis.

4. Do you charge a drawing fee for Customs?

The deposit will count as a drawing fee as well. If the project is rather large and/or time consuming, I might require a bigger deposit. 

If you would like to see how something is drawn out before you commit to an appointment, we can then discuss a commission price for the drawing. 

5. Is your flash repeatable?

Yes as of now, I will repeat flash until I change the policy again.

6. Where are you located?

I am at Martian Arts Tattoo Studio in Portland, OR.

7. Do you take cash, card, or Venmo? How much cash should I bring?

Cash is preferred. A portion of my earnings go to whichever shop I am working at so cash is easier. On occasions, I can take Venmo if it is needed. I like to overestimate how much cash to bring for a tattoo appointment just to be safe. Zelle is always accepted.

8. How should I prepare for my appointment?

Drink plenty of water the night before, keep the skin hydrated. Eat at least two hours before your appointment. Plan your outfit according to where you will be tattooed & make the area comfortably accessible. 

9. How much does it cost to get a touch up?

Touch ups are always free. Just shoot an email and set up an appointment :) I don't do continuous free touch ups on places where ink tends to fall out easier like the hands/fingers and feet. 

10. Is tipping required?

Tipping is not mandatory but it is customary in the tattoo industry. Tattoo artists put a lot of unpaid time and effort into their work and try their best to accommodate every client's request. Artists' income are also divided out to pay studio rent or commission and taxes. If you feel satisfied with your artist I would highly recommend tipping to show gratitude.

11. Do you accept gifts as a tip?

Yes! I would accept the following gifts:

Plants (that are easy to take care of), Art Supplies; Crystals, Toys for my dogs, and baked goods. 

12. Do you take walk ins?

I do take walk ins when I do not have an appointment scheduled that day. 

13. Can I set up a consultation appointment?

Yes, consultations are always welcomed. They make the whole process much easier than email. Email me to request a consultation appointment. Bring any pictures to show during your consultation and the appointment will be at no cost. 

14. Are you open to trades for tattoos?

Yes I will often take trades for tattoos if its in my best interest. 

I will try to update this as I get more questions but also feel free to shoot me an email if you don't find your answer here.

Thank you!
