I’ll be ready for you at the time of our appointment. If you get there early there are quite a few cafes with excellent bevies where you can hang out.

  • Sey Coffee

  • Swallow Cafe

  • Nook

prep & info:

(sorry if this next bit is redundant/too obvious) 

Please wear/bring clothes that are comfortable and provide access to where we'll be tattooing !

Sweats are great for leg pieces bc they roll & all that fun stuff. Button up shirts worn backwards, or cheap tees with the back cut out are great for back pieces. Bikini bottoms with tie strings are great for side/hip pieces. We will need to access the entire area we’re tattooing with roughly 6” around it.

There are bathrooms you can use to change, so if you aren't sure where you want it feel free to bring lotsa options ! I also have pasties, “tanning bras”, and “tanning thongs” that can be used as cover up options.

There is a chance there will be a visiting artist also working in the space. If that’s the case and we end up working on a sensitive area I am more than happy to put up a privacy screen (it’s a big one that spans the whole studio). If that’s the case please just let me know!

I would also encourage you to check out the about page of my website for a detailed walkthrough of a typical tattoo session and info on those questions we all want to ask but sometimes don’t like taking breaks, music choices, tipping, and the like. 

feedback:

After your appointment you will be provided with a link for anonymous feedback. This is in case there was anything about the booking or tattooing process that you feel needs to be addressed or that you wanted to have a continued conversation about. Please don’t be afraid to use it, I welcome feedback as it is the most effective way for me to improve.  Which I will just stress that if you’re ever uncomfortable for any reason please please let me know so I can remedy that. I recognize that everyone comes into this experience with widely different backgrounds and I want to do everything I can to be sensitive to that. 

Covid:

In terms of Covid related safety things masking is currently on a client to client basis. If you show up wearing a mask I will more than happily follow suit. I also have plenty of masks at the studio if you’d like to use one. Please do not bring more than one guest.

I disinfect the studio and all high touch areas before and after our appointment, as usual. Please let me know if you’ve had contact with anyone who has tested positive or has shown symptoms of Covid and I will be more than happy to honor your deposit and reschedule our appointment.

payment:

I am currently only taking cash or cards. There is a ~2% fee for using cards.

I’m using a flat day rate of $900. The deposit does not count towards this.

Tipping is always welcome but never expected (cash, venmo, zelle)


You'll get a few automated reminder emails as we get closer to the date, but don't be afraid to reach out if you have any questions. 

Cheers, 

Caleb
