Booking information

To book an appointment head here. Once you submit your form I will respond via email to provide booking dates, deposit info, specific pricing details, and any other questions you may have. Always check your spam folder for responses! Submitting a form does not guarantee an appointment.

Location

I am located at FutureLazerTiger in Ferndale, Michigan at 23446 Woodward Ave. This is an appointment only private studio, there is no front desk or anything. When you arrive to your appointment you are welcome to walk right in and find me. There is some parking in front of the shop and various 2 hour spots on nearby side streets. Ferndale is an awesome area, there is a ton of places to eat and shop in town so I always recommend making a little trip out of your tattoo if you have the extra time.

Pricing and deposits

Pricing for my work depends on if you are getting flash or custom work. Flash will always have a flat discussed price, and for custom work I usually charge $150 an hour with a 1 hour minimum. I also try and give a price range with custom work, this can just depend on the size of the project. Sessions are always an option for budgeting larger scale work. If you are curious about pricing or getting a general price quote for your piece, just submit a form and we will talk pricing before you get scheduled.

If I accept your submission form I will respond via email with my scheduling app link where you can see all of my availability, select an appointment date, and pay your deposit. 

All appointments will require a $100 deposit to secure your appointment. This will come off of the overall price of the tattoo and reserves your appointment date and any flash you may be claiming.

If you need to reschedule you must do so 48 hours before your appointment. If this is the case then your deposit can be transferred to your new rescheduled appointment date. Any less notice than this will be considered a cancellation and your deposit will be forfeited. (Exceptions will be made in uncontrollable situations like emergencies and weather, this would be determined situationally.) If you willingly do not show up to your appointment date, the deposit covers any wasted time. No-shows can potentially result in ending our working relationship so please reach out if you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment! Believe me I do not want to blacklist clients but if you waste my time with no contact you will not be scheduled again.

Custom Work

If you are getting a custom designed tattoo by me I will show you the design on the day of your appointment, I will not send out any drawings ahead of time. For custom work I will always use all of the information you provide to create a design that best reflects my work along with what you want. If we need to make any small adjustments to your piece, there will be plenty of time to do so. If the changes are more drastic this is totally ok but we may have to reschedule your appointment. I want you to get the tattoo that you want so there is no pressure to get a design you are not interested in. However, I always ask that you trust me when doing custom work, if you like any of my posted work then odds are your design is going to look the same if you give me the freedom! Please describe custom ideas as best as possible and come in to your appointment with an open mind! It is always appreciated if you can send me tattoos that I have done that you enjoy so I know which direction to go. 

tattoo appointment prep

Regardless of your experience with getting tattooed here's a few things that I always recommend doing before, during, and after your appointment;

(if you can) it is always ideal to pre-moisturize the area getting tattooed for a couple weeks beforehand. Moisturized and hydrated skin is so much easier to tattoo. It is not necessary to pre-shave however. Along with removing hair, shaving removes dead skin and I prefer to do this right before we start the tattoo to avoid any irritated skin.

speaking of hydrated, you will feel so much better if you hydrate before, during, and after your tattoo, please bring water!! We have a water refill station available at the studio.

along with water feel free to bring any other favorite drinks or snacks. You can eat in the studio and I will always take a couple breaks so there is plenty of time to snack. You can even bring a meal in with you before we start, I’ll always wait if you want to eat before your tattoo. I book with plenty of buffer time so feel free to bring food in.

During your tattoo you are more than welcome to also bring any sort of entertainment you desire, books, video games, crafts, etc. as long as it doesn't interfere with where I'm tattooing or create too much movement. Sitting and getting tattooed is rather boring so anything to get your mind off of the time (and pain) is totally ok in my book. I also will adhere to any social preferences you have, I love to talk during appointments but I also am so ok if you wanna put on headphones and do your own thing.

I will always explain my full aftercare process when we are done tattooing if you are curious or want to know what I suggest. I know many artists say many different things along with clients having their own preferences as well. As far as aftercare goes I always have derm, gauze pads, and traditional plastic wrap so I can adhere to your bandaging preference. If it is your first tattoo I will explain aftercare in depth when we're done tattooing.
