Everything you need to know about booking and getting a tattoo
Submit your request through the booking form on this site or DM on Instagram. Please include reference images to help communicate your vision. I specialize in botanical and animalistic motifs in fine line style. Minimum size is 12cm (5 inches). I don't do scripts, finger/hand tattoos, or copy other artists' work.
I'll respond within one week. A deposit of $150–300 CAD is required to secure your appointment. Spots are held for 24 hours without a deposit before becoming available to other clients.
My rate is $225 CAD per hour, plus 5% GST tax applied on the day of your appointment.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable, and will be deducted from your final price. Rescheduling with less than 4 days’ notice forfeits the deposit. Deposits are valid for 3 months from the original appointment date.
The design is shown on your appointment day, based on the details from your request. I use a freehand technique with markers on skin to ensure a custom fit that works with your body's unique contours.
La Maison des Artistes Studio in Gastown, Vancouver — 369 Carrall Street, 3rd floor. I’m available Monday through Friday, 11am to 6pm. No weekend appointments.
Yes to both! Large or dark existing tattoos may need laser removal first. Please include photos of the scar or existing tattoo with your request so I can assess what’s possible.
Moisturize the area for one week before your appointment. Avoid coffee, alcohol, and blood thinners the day before. Get 7–8 hours of sleep, eat a good meal beforehand, and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area, and feel free to bring entertainment for the session.
Wait at least one month after your tattoo has healed. Your first touch-up session is complimentary within 3 months of the original tattoo. Further touch-ups after that period are paid.
Please reschedule immediately. Don’t come to the studio sick — it’s important for both your health and the healing of your tattoo. I’m happy to find a new time that works.
