booking
what is your cancellation policy?
when will your books open?
I typically book 2 months at a time (current and next month) and open up the following month on the 1st of each month.
can I reserve a flash piece for a later date?
If none of my availability works for you but you want to reserve a flash piece, email me with a screenshot. You can pre-pay a deposit and I'll put you on a waitlist for my next book openings.
can I get multiple tattoos in one session?
Yes! If you want to get more than one flash in a session, simply add them all to your cart and find a spot in my calendar that fits.

appointment
how do i get to the studio?
by transit: the closest subway station is Lansdowne, a 15-minute walk/10-minute bus ride. Give yourself lots of time because the buses are not always reliable!
by car: street parking usually available on Campbell between Antler and Wallace, however please give yourself extra time to park as it's not always reliable either.
how can I prepare for the appointment?
Shower + eat before coming to your appointment. Bring water and a snack. Wear comfy, dark-coloured clothes (not your favourite white shirt). Don't come hungover!
You must be 18 to get a tattoo, an ID may be required. I do not tattoo minors, even with parental permission.
Try to arrive on time, but not early please.
can i bring someone?
Please email me first to let me know. Usually it's okay to bring one guest, but I like to be prepared :)
