Getting here:

• Location: 1306 NW Hoyt St # 310, Portland, OR 97209.
  You can enter through the coffee shop and take the elevator to the 3rd floor, or by the yoga studio and walk up the stairs.

• Parking: There is street parking and a few pay to park lots nearby.

Payment:

• Cash is preferred, but I also accept Zelle and Venmo. Any deposit previously provided is non-refundable and goes into the overall price of the tattoo.

• On tips for tattoos and touch-ups, it is never required, but is always appreciated! Tips don’t have to be financial either, I’m like a crow and enjoy collecting all sorts of little trinkets and goodies :P

Clothes: 

• I need to be able to comfortably access the tattoo area with plenty of buffer space. 

• In general, wear clothes that are loose and soft so it is easy to pull up for tattoo work.

• It’s best if the color is grey or black. Ink might spill and I don’t want to stain your favorite shirt!

• If you’re getting tattooed on the arms, a tank top would be good to bring and if on the thighs, make sure to bring short shorts. For back tattoos, you can wear something that completely exposes the back tattoo while keeping your front covered or be prepared to take off your shirt completely if you’re okay with that. I will never ask you to remove anything you’re not comfortable with, but I do need access to tattoo, so plan ahead and reach out if you have any questions! 

General recommendations for a pleasant tattooing experience: 

• Please do not make any plans after your tattoo. I need you to be relaxed and prepared to stay longer than expected if necessary so that I can focus on quality work that will last you a lifetime.

• Eat a healthy meal within 1 hour before your appointment.

• Bring a simple lunch like a sandwich if you aren’t able to eat within 1 hour before your appointment. 

• Bring snacks that will help maintain energy like well balanced nutrition bars or healthy crackers. We also have a few snacks and drinks available. 

• Get a good night’s rest!

• Bring water! Hydrate well the day before. 

• Avoid getting a sunburn before your appointment.

• Do not take blood thinners before your appointment. 

• Do not consume any alcohol or take drugs before your appointment. I will not tattoo you if you are under the influence.

• If you can reach your tattoo area, try to shave off the hair around the tattoo spot before you come. If you can’t do this, it’s not a big deal!

• On the tattooing day, make sure to not put any cream, numbing ointment, moisturizer, or sunscreen on the tattoo spot. If you have a habit of using body cream everyday, try to skip the tattoo area for 2-3 days as well.

• Please limit the amount of guests you bring with you to 1. Our studio is very small and we want to be considerate of the other artists and clients.

I will not tattoo you if:

• You are taking antibiotics or cortisone. 

• You are pregnant.

• You were vaccinated less than 48 hours before your appointment.

• You are about to go on vacation where you will be exposed to the sun for prolonged periods. 

• Atopic dermatitis is present on the location of where you are getting a tattoo.

• You are under the age of 18.

• You are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• You did not bring proper identification. 

Please make sure to be punctual for your visit:  

• Being late for the consulting session will reduce available time for you.

• Being late or not showing up will result in forfeiture of your deposit.

• On the day of the tattoo, make sure to dedicate the entire day for the tattoo so you are relaxed and not rushed to leave.
