FAQs
How do I schedule a tattoo appointment?
Thank you for your interest! I will be booking in two month increments through a booking form. Repeatable Flash (available for multiple people to get the same design) will be posted on my website. Please subscribe to my newsletter for updates!
All booking will be done through the form. Even if you have been tattooed by me before please use the form to book. DMs and e-mails can get lost and are hard to keep tract of your request.
Once you submit a form, then we will email you within 1-4 weeks. In the e-mail you will receive a link to schedule your appointment. Please schedule your appointment within the week of receiving the link. This is to help us move through booking as smoothly and quickly as possible.
I do apologize in advance, when there is high number of requests we are unable to get back to everyone each booking period.
Do you take walk-ins?
The shop is a private studio and by appointment only. No walk-ins available.
Do you do custom work?
I will only be booking custom pieces that fit my style. I will not trace a design. No text or font work. No geometric work. Please view my current work on Instagram to refer to my style. Custom drawings are drawn the morning of the appointment, so no drawings are emailed prior to the date.
Do you do cover ups?
I am currently in my second year of tattooing, and will not be doing cover-ups until I am a more seasoned tattooer.
Can I bring a friend with me on the day of my appointment?
We do have a small waiting area, so please do not bring more than one other person with you.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Each flash piece is individually priced. Pricing currently ranging from $180 minimum to $800. Sizing is also limited. An estimate for each piece will be given after we receive your completed booking form. We will give you an estimate prior to requesting any deposit. The studio hourly is 200/hr
Do I need to leave a deposit?
Yes, there is a $50 deposit. Deposits are part of the tattoo cost. Deposits are nonrefundable, so please do not book unless you know you can make it. If you need to reschedule, I will transfer your deposit to a new date if you reschedule 48 hours prior to your appointment, otherwise you will lose your deposit. You may only reschedule your appointment up to two times, and the reschedule must be within the two months after your initial appointment.
Do you sell your drawings for other tattooers to tattoo?
No. I apologize that I can’t get to everyone who wants to get one of my pieces and understand traveling can be difficult, but I am not doing commissioned tattoos for other tattooers to do. Thank you for your interest, and please be respectful of my designs and time.
If I need to reschedule, how do I go about doing so?
When you book your initial appointment you will receive a confirmation email. In that email there is a button to reschedule or cancel your appointment. Please note, you must reschedule your appointment 48 hours prior to your appointment otherwise you will lose your deposit.
What form of payment do you accept?
Cash or Card.
What should I wear?
Wear something comfortable. Please wear or bring socks as I may ask you to take off your shoes. If you are getting a chest piece or back piece I recommend wearing or bringing a cardigan. During the colder months it’s easy to get cold during your tattoo, so I always recommend layers.
Should I eat something before my appointment?
Yes! Make sure you eat before you get tattooed. Also, I recommend bringing a water or something to drink and a snack. Tattoos take time and it’s important to stay hydrated.
Can we make edits to a flash piece?
Yes, we can definitely make edits, or if you would like to request a variation of a flash piece please let me know prior to your appointment.
Are there any food spots you recommend in Poughkeepsie to check out before or after your appointment?
Yes! So many:) for coffee I recommend the Poughkeepsie Grind or Mercat. If you are taking the MetroNorth up from the city, then you will walk past the Poughkeepsie Grind from the train station. Mercat is the closest coffee shop to the tattoo shop, and you can often find me buying a peach yogurt from them. Alex’s Restaurant is an amazing dinner, and all the workers there are extremely sweet:) great coffee and yummy French toast! La Cabanita has the best fish tacos in Poughkeepsie. Upstream Cafe makes their own juices and the pineapple-ginger is amazing and it goes well with a beef patty or their chicken curry roti. Looking for pizza? Check out the Dutch Crown if you’re a thin crust pizza lover. Night life? Check out Reason & Ruckus for good drinks and yummy food made by Reconnect Foods. Chapulin Colorado is my favvvvv, but they are only open in the summer time.
