FAQ

  • PRICING & PAYMENT

    Tattoos are priced by the piece, and can range from $700-$1500 per session. Once I review your project request, I will let you know what you can expect at your appointment.

    I accept cash and credit cards. Please note that a 3.5% transaction fee will be added to credit card payments.

  • DEPOSITS

    Deposits are $200 and are never refundable or transferable for any reason.

    If your project requires multiple sessions, your deposit will apply towards your final session.

  • RESCHEDULING & CANCELLATIONS

    A minimum of 72 hours notice is needed for cancellations.

    If you cancel with enough notice, your deposit will still apply towards your rescheduled appointment. If you cancel with less notice, your deposit will be forfeit to cover the missed appointment.

    If you wish to cancel without rescheduling, your deposit will be forfeit, as deposits are not refundable.

    You are allowed 2 reschedules before needing a new deposit, assuming more than 72 hours notice is given.

  • IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT YOUR ARTIST

    I am fully deaf in my left ear, and hard of hearing in my right ear. When we are ready to start the tattoo, I generally just turn up the music and focus on your art because it can be really challenging for me to hold a conversation depending on the position you are in. This is nothing personal - it’s just how I work best.

  • GUEST POLICY

    I honestly prefer that you come to your appointment alone. If you do want to bring someone with you, you can bring one guest with you, but they will need to stay in the waiting area, as I don’t allow additional people in the tattoo room. Everyone entering the studio must be over 18.

  • DESIGN PROCESS

    I start working on designs the week of the appointment date. I send out designs 1-2 days before your appointment for you to review.

    If you would like minor changes made to your design, please list out all change requests in one message.

    If you would like a new design entirely, one redesign is permitted.

    If you end up requiring more than one redesign, that will be subject to a drawing fee ($200) and you will need to reschedule.

    Please note: Your appointment is for tattoo time only, so I will need to make any requested adjustments to the design before you come in. Do not wait to ask for changes at your appointment - this has to be discussed ahead of time.

    Your project request form should include all necessary information for me to design your perfect tattoo. The drawing process takes a lot of time, and I’m not able to go through several email exchanges regarding changes in the design. This is why it is crucial to give me as much information as possible in your inquiry form. This process is based very much on the trust the client has in my design style.


  • CHANGING THE DESIGN

    Making minor changes is absolutely something that can be discussed, but if the design idea has completely changed then I have to re-assess if I’m the right artist for that new idea. I do my best to work with changes, but sometimes the appointment will need to be rescheduled or cancelled depending on the situation. If I feel that your new idea is outside of my scope, your appointment will be cancelled and your deposit will be forfeit.

  • APPOINTMENT PREPARATION

    Don’t drink alcohol or take blood thinners like ibuprofen the night before or the day of your appointment.

    Eat a solid meal a few hours before coming in and bring a bottle of water with you.

    Bringing snacks is always a good idea to keep your blood sugar up if you are coming in for a longer session.

    Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes to your appointment. Be mindful of the desired placement of your tattoo. Wear clothes that are not restrictive and can be easily pulled away or removed from the tattoo area.

    Regularly exfoliate and moisturize your skin in the area you are getting tattooed for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. This makes a huge difference! If your skin is dry, it will negatively impact the tattoo.

    Please come in recently showered. Tattooing requires me to be up close and personal so good hygiene is necessary.

    Please show up on time.

  • TATTOO AFTERCARE KITS

    I sell tattoo aftercare kits in my shop.

    These are $30, and include:

    MadRabbit Repair Foaming Tattoo Wash

    MadRabbit Soothing Gel meant for moisturizing fresh tattoos.

    I also have a 20% discount code for Mad Rabbit aftercare products, if you’d like to order your aftercare ahead of time.

    My code is: Kelmonster

    The discount will be applied at checkout.

  • TOUCH UPS

    I offer one free touch up within a 90 day period from the date you received the tattoo.

    If a touch up is needed, please send me a clear photo of the tattoo so I can see what will need attention.

    I don’t require deposits to schedule a touch-up, but I do ask that you please be mindful of showing up on time for these types of appointments. If you no-show a touch up appointment, a deposit fee will apply if you wish to reschedule.
