*PRICING AND DEPOSITS*

Shop minimum is $100, hourly is $180. Small, single sitting, tattoos will be quoted before starting; hourly rate is reserved for larger and multiple sitting tattoos.

A NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-TRANSFERRABLE $100 deposit is required to book an appointment of any kind. Your deposit will be credited toward the price of the final sitting of your tattoo.


You will potentially forfeit your deposit if:
- you fail to appear for an appointment
- you do not provide 48 hours notice to reschedule
- more than six months pass without an appointment, communication or correspondence
- you’ve rescheduled more than twice

Please choose wisely. Submitting a deposit is a guarantee that you are committed to the tattoo process. It is in place to encourage good communication and to hold artist and client accountable to good communication. In the event that a design can not be agreed upon the deposit will be retained by the artist as a drawing fee.

​

*ACCEPTABLE IDENTIFICATION*

Oregon law requires that a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years of age or older and in possession of a government issued ID. Examples include, but are not limited to: state issued driver’s license or ID card, passport, military ID. School ID, birth certificate, parent’s permission/ sign off etc are not recognized as valid proof of age/ identification in this situation. If you have questions or concerns about what is acceptable please reach out prior to your appointment; failure to produce appropriate ID at time of service could result in forfeiture of your deposit.


*AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS*

1. Remove the bandage the following morning. Leaving the tattoo bandaged for the first night will lesson the chances of scabbing. After removing the first dressing DO NOT re-bandage.

2. Using only your hand, wash the tattoo with warm water and liquid soap. Rinse the area, and pat it dry with a paper towel, it should feel clean to the touch. Rub a very small amount of ointment (Aquaphor, A&D Ointment, Bag Balm are good choices) into the tattoo; the tattoo should not be greasy or shiny. This step should be repeated 2-3 times a day for 3 days. DO NOT scratch or pick at your tattoo.

3. On day four STOP using the ointment and begin moisturizing the tattoo with a dye-free, fragrance-free lotion (Lubriderm, Keri, Curel etc). Continue washing the tattoo 2-3 times daily and moisturizing it with lotion until it is completely healed. This will typically take 2-3 weeks.

4. Things to avoid during the first 2 - 3 weeks:
​
- Direct sunlight and tanning beds
- Soaking and swimming (this includes baths, hot tubs, pools, excessive steam and all natural bodies of water; showers are fine.)
- Neosporin and lotions or cleansers that contain vitamin E. Aloe Vera, or Sea Salt.


It will typically take 2-3 weeks for a tattoo to heal. Feel free to call us at any time with questions or concerns-

*** many people recommend variations on healing procedures, always listen to your artist.***
