i am a newbie tattooer so please be gentle with me as i work through growing pains! below are some information to help you navigate my booking system. please make sure to read through it before submitting!
● flash ●
tattoo flash refers to designs I have drawn and is ready to be given a home! they are almost always one-of-a-kind and will not be tattooed on anyone else, unless otherwise stated. i may make similar designs (but never the exact same) depending on the imagery (e.g. the Korean tiger, a character that makes frequent appearances in minhwa, is likely going to be a theme i come back to in the future).
● custom designs ●
I am taking custom projects on a case-by-case at this time and tend to gravitate towards ideas that really resonate with me and my drawing style. to get a better sense of my most recent work, please take a look at my portfolio!
designs are shown on the day of your appointment, with room for small changes on the spot. colour tests are available. please let me know below in the ideas/concepts section if you are interested!
● budgets and financial exchange ●
my pricing currently ranges from 50 to 150 CAD per session. i try to accommodate everyone’s budgets, especially for QTBIPOC folks. please let me know in the booking form if this is something you’d like to discuss with me! i try my best to be very open in this regard.
there is a non-refundable deposit of $25 CAD to secure your appointment slot (via e-transfer/PayPal). This includes one reschedule and will go towards the final price of your tattoo. i completely understand when life happens and you are unable to make it to the allotted appointment date, but please do your best to give at least 24 hours notice for reschedules/cancellations.
● studio ●
i am currently working out of a licensed private studio in the east end of tkaronto (otherwise known as toronto) with one other artist. i will be sending you the address once our appointment is confirmed. if you prefer to have a completely private session (just the two of us), please let me know and I would be happy to accommodate.
i would also prefer working with just you as i have a hard time multi-tasking! however, if you'd like to bring a guest, please let me know ahead of time. there is a flight of stairs from the main door and into the studio space, with no accessible ramps available at this time. please let me know if you need assistance and I will be more than happy to accommodate!
a soft reminder to also take your shoes off at the base of the stairs before coming up. there are slippers available for your comfort :)
● tipping ●
is not required and entirely at your discretion! if you are happy with your experience with me, i would graciously accept tips in the form of cash or gifts (gift cards, plants, clay tools, art supplies).
● notes ●
i strive to provide a safe and comfortable space for all body shapes & skin tones ♡
please allow several days up to a week to hear back from me and refrain from sending multiple emails as i am just one person that gets easily overwhelmed. this includes DMs - they often get lost & are hard to keep track of ㅠ_ㅠ
i really look forward to working together!!! ✿
