Frequently Asked Questions

  • i mainly use venueink to book all my tattoos at the moment! my account is @wenreluv, and i have both customs and flash available to book. on this site, you can also use the tattoo dropdown menu to find a booking form! it may take me a few days to respond to any requests made on either platform, so i appreciate your patience and will get back to you as soon as i possibly can! :)

  • deposits for tattoos are $100 and must be paid in order to secure your appointment. you can either pay through venueink, paypal, or venmo. this deposit will be deducted from the final total of the tattoo.

    if you need to reschedule, i require 24 hours (1 days) notice so we can find a new date. i’m always happy to work with you and find other dates if need be. if you decide you’d like to cancel, you will forfeit your deposit. if you fail to make your appointment without any notice, and do not attempt to reschedule, you will forfeit your deposit.

  • my minimum is currently $150, with most pieces ranging between $150-$350. the larger, more detailed, more colors, and more different from my typical style, the more the price may need to increase. if you have any specific budget restrictions, please let me know! i am happy to work with your budget (within reason!) if needed!

    tips are always appreciated but never required. i accept cash, venmo, paypal, gifts, snacks, drinks, and i also do service for service :)

  • i will typically share your design with you at the time of our appointment. this gives me ample time to finish drawing the piece between the submission of your form and our actual appointment. in certain cases i will send update sketches if the situation calls for it.

  • it is best come well rested and on a full stomach, and/or with snacks on hand! if you booked a larger piece, you may want to bring extra water and food to recharge. feel free to bring a book, headphones, or anything else that might keep you cozy during our session. please also wear light and comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the bodily location that will be tattooed. do NOT arrive under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.

    *** if you have any health concerns and/or allergies, please let me know ahead of time!as well as if you need any other accessibility accommodations.

    must be 18+, i do not tattoo minors.

  • unless otherwise specified, i will wrap your new tattoo with secondskin. you can leave the bandage on for 1-3 days, but if it comes off sooner that’s totally fine! when removing, take it off gently in the shower or under some warm water, and pull it off horizontally, sort of like a command strip, rather than up and away like a bandaid.

    after the wrap is removed, you will continue to wash your tattoo and moisturize it for the next 2 weeks as it heals. try to wash it 2-3 times a day with FRAGRANCE-FREE, ANTI-BACTERIAL soap. wash very gently, pat dry, and do not rub harshly. in between washes, use an unscented lotion (aquaphor, cetaphil) to keep the tattoo hydrated. if you notice it feeling dry throughout the day, at a little more, but it’s important to not suffocate the skin either. a very tiny layer is all you need!

    tips for healing:

    • keep the area clean and moisturized

    • your tattoo may get flaky, itchy, peely, or crusty; do NOT scrath or pick at it! doing this will tarnish the ink quality, so try to relieve the sensation with light touches or pats.

    • no soaking (hot tubs, pools, baths, saunas) during the first 2 weeks.

    • keep your healing tattoo out of the sun, and always use spf on your ink after its healed!
