FAQ

Below you will find my frequently asked questions. Please review this FAQ page before submitting a request.

I am currently trying to focus on flash, larger projects, and subjects that work well with my style. Please review my work on my Instagram page if you are not already familiar with it.

How do I submit a tattoo request?
I only accept inquiries/requests through my tattoo request form. I do not respond to DM’s, sorry!. If the form is not available my books are currently closed.

Please note you must be 18 years of age or over and I do not tattoo anyone that is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Where are you located?
I currently work out of Edmonton, AB at Locust Studio located at 12068 104 Ave NW - Unit 6, 2nd floor, Edmonton, AB.

Parking
The shop is located on the far west side of the building in the Brewery District. There is a lot of free parking right out front!

What method of payment do you take?
Deposits are accepted via e-transfer and appointments are CASH ONLY.

What are your rates?
Each tattoo submission approved will be given an estimated rate and time for the appointment. Note that this is an ESTIMATE only and that decisions made during your appointment could affect the time required.

Do you do consultations?
Most of my consultations are done via email that way all of the information is documented and easily referenced.

What is your deposit policy?

Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. If you need to reschedule or postpone your appointment your deposit is good for 3 months from the time of your original appointment. Deposits are taken off of the price of your tattoo the day of (if your tattoo requires multiple appts the deposit is taken off at your last appt).

Any appointments rescheduled with less than SEVEN days’ notice or more than one time will require a rebooking fee of $200 to reschedule. Note the rebooking fee does NOT go towards the price of your tattoo. It is simply the cover the cost to rebook and fill appointments where not enough notice was given and where there have been multiple reschedules.

How long will you hold my appointment time without a deposit?
When we respond to your initial booking form we will provide a date and time for your appointment based on your availability - this spot will be held for 24 hours until we hear back from you. If you confirm the appointment date, your appointment will be held for a further 24 hours until a deposit is sent. When this deposit has been sent within that time frame - your appointment is considered confirmed!

What if I don’t hear back from my booking form?
We aim to get back to requests within 10 business days, however, sometimes it may be a little longer. Please note that not all requests will get approved. I try to focus on the subject matter and style that matches my expertise and interest. However, we will respond to all requests though so if you haven’t heard back and feel your request may have been missed - feel free to send a follow-up email after 2 weeks have elapsed.

When do I get to see the design?
ALL designs will be shown on the day of your appointment. I do allot extra time for minor changes on the day of your appointment. Please familiarize yourself with my body of work on my Instagram to ensure my style matches what you are looking for.

What can I do to prepare for my tattoo?
Make sure to get a good night’s sleep, drink lots of water, and have a good meal before your appointment. If you have a longer tattoo session, feel free to bring snacks and water. Headphones and a charged device are also great ideas to keep you occupied. Please also avoid alcohol 24 hours before your tattoo - alcohol thins the blood significantly, and after a big night, can affect the tattoo process the following day often resulting in a less-than-ideal heal.

What if I am not feeling well?
Please let us know as soon as possible if you are not feeling well and need to reschedule your appointment. Any appointments rescheduled due to illness must be rescheduled within three months or the deposit may be forfeited.

What is the cancellation/rescheduling policy?
Please give as much notice as you can if you cannot make your appointment. A rebooking fee is required with less than 7 days notice, rescheduling an appt more than once or if you are 20+ minutes late for your appt (with exceptions). This also applies to touch-up appointments.

Do you tip your tattoo artist?
Tipping is never mandatory but always appreciated! In North America, it is considered the norm to tip your tattoo artist based on their service. Tips are greatly appreciated and tend to follow the standard tip guide of anywhere between 15-25+%.
