FAQs

Not typically. We tend to figure out the majority of what the concept and flow of the piece during the consultation.

How do you accept payment?

E-transfer or cash accepted (international clients: cash preferred).
Hourly: $300/hr (tax included)
Half Day (3 hrs): $650/hr (tax included)
Full day (6 hrs): $1500 (tax included)
Rates are reduced for larger ongoing projects (ex. adding a second sleeve).

Is the deposit refundable?

Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred with enough notice.

Can I change my idea after booking?

Small adjustments are fine, but major changes may need to be rescheduled or cancelled.

Yes, just do a small test patch on yourself prior to our appointment, and follow proper application instructions. My preferred brands are Zensa and TKTX.

Do you allow numbing cream?
