FAQ
1. I have submitted my form, what should I do next?
Please wait for me to read your form, collect info, and get back to you.
I normally reply in less than 3 days (unless my brain cells are all dead from work).
Please check your spam folder if you don’t hear back from me!! Gmail hates me and always marks my emails as spam..
2. How much will my tattoo cost?
I will provide you a quote and explanation after gathering information from the booking form you fill out :)
3. What is your quote based on?
It depends on the amount of time your tattoo takes.
This is based on information that you provide in the booking form — the amount of details in your design, size, placement, color/monochrome, your skin type, custom design/ready-made image, etc.
The quote I provide you will be the final flat fee I charge for your tattoo.
4. Do you tattoo XXX anime/manga?
YES >:)
5. Can I send you multiple tattoo ideas?
Yes!! You are very welcome to do so especially if you are looking to get some small tattoos.
I also accept multiple larger/complex tattoos in the same booking period (can be broken into separate sessions if needed).
6. Do you have a flash sheet?
Yes. I have a IG story highlight “FLASH BOOK“ and everything in it is available.
7. I like this tattoo you did before, can you tattoo the same design on me?
If it is a “ready-made“ image (my flash designs, classical art, illustration, manga panel, anime/movie still, fan art, etc.) then yes.
Other than that unfortunately no (e.g. client’s art, custom design made for one specific client, etc. ).
8. This is a tattoo by another artist. Can do you tattoo the same design on me?
Nope. Please do not send me other tattoo artists’ work as a reference image.
If it is a classic painting/illustration/manga panel/anime screenshot, please only send me the ORIGINAL ART and I will work from that.
I will not copy other tattoo artists' work.
9. Do you sell your designs? I live very far from you. Can I buy this particular flash from you and have another artist tattoo it on me?
No. I do not sell any of my original tattoo designs for other artists to tattoo.
PLEASE DO NOT USE MY ORIGINAL DESIGNS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Please….
10. If I cancel my appointment, will I get my deposit back?
Unfortunately no. The deposit is non-refundable. It will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo but won’t be returned to you.
I will send you a detailed deposit policy if your idea is selected.
11. How should I make my payments?
For deposit I accept Venmo, Paypal and Zelle.
The rest of the payment is cash only for Bay Area clients.
For traveling clients I accept cash and Zelle only (because Venmo and Paypal like charging us random fees so I avoid large transactions with them).
12. Should I tip my tattoo artist?
Typical tipping percentage is 18 - 20% service industry standard but it’s up to you :D
13. How should I prepare for my appointment?
A very detailed list of tips for our appointment will be emailed to you the week before.
Basically make sure you eat well, sleep well, and protect your skin well before the appointment :3
Oh and don’t get drunk/high/hangover before the session please. I won’t tattoo you if you’re not mentally clear >:(
14. How do I take care of my tattoo?
Please follow aftercare instructions HERE.
15. What is your touch up policy?
I offer lifelong touch up service for my own tattoos.
First touch up within the first year of the tattoo session is tip based and if more/later touch-up is needed, a flat fee of $100 will be collected each time.
If you think you might need a touch up, please email me a clear photo of your healed tattoo under bright light and I will decide if a touch up is needed.
16. How do your tattoos heal? Do fine lines fade faster/more easily?
I have a story highlight on my IG named HEALED and you can find some of the healed tattoos on there.
All tattoos age with you. Fine lines can last as long as other tattoo styles if it’s done and taken care of properly.
As mentioned above, I offer lifelong service of touch up for my own tattoos whenever it’s needed.
