Medical Conditions That May Require Extra Caution:

Some conditions can impact healing or increase sensitivity during your session. If any of the following apply to you, please let me know on your intake form:

• Diabetes (especially insulin-dependent): May result in slower healing or increased risk of infection. If your condition is well-managed, tattooing is usually safe.

• High blood pressure: Only a concern if severe or uncontrolled.

• Skin conditions (like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis): These may affect how ink holds or heals in certain areas. Tattooing over affected skin is not advised.

• Autoimmune or immune-suppressive conditions: Healing may be slower, and there may be a slightly increased risk of infection.

• Blood clotting disorders (like hemophilia or severe thrombocytopenia): Tattooing is not recommended unless approved by your doctor.

• Hepatitis, HIV, or other communicable diseases: Please inform me privately if applicable — this does not automatically disqualify you, but helps me take appropriate precautions.

• Pregnancy: Tattooing is not recommended while pregnant.

• Breastfeeding: You’re welcome to make your own decision — there is no clinical risk, but healing can still be affected by stress or lack of sleep.
  
  

Temporary Conditions That Require Rescheduling:

Please reschedule your tattoo appointment if:

• You are currently sick with a cold, flu, fever, or infection

• You have an active skin breakout, rash, or open wound in the area to be tattooed

• You are under the influence of alcohol or drugs

• You have had a recent medical procedure or hospitalization and are still recovering
  
  

If You're Not Sure:

If you have a medical condition or are taking medication and are unsure whether it’s safe to proceed, please consult your doctor before booking. Tattooing is a form of minor trauma to the body, and it's important you're feeling well and stable before being tattooed.

• Do I get to pick my tattoo time when I sign up?
  You'll receive a link to choose your time slot and fill out an intake form. This includes writing me a list of your favourites.

• Can I change my flash design?

Yes, final decisions happen at the booth.
Its preferred that you view the flash online beforehand or come early to look in person. 

• Can I get more than one tattoo?
  Each session is limited to one design to ensure everyone gets a chance. If time allows, you may be able to extend your time slot or return later in the festival for a second piece.

• Will there be walk-up availability?
  Possibly, but it's not guaranteed. Those who signed up early and completed the intake form will be given priority if time is limited. I want to make it fair that everyone who wants one has a chance to get 1.

• How much do the tattoos cost?
  Flash pricing ranges from $80 to $110 depending on the design size. Pricing will be shown alongside the flash designs when they're released. If you're able to get more than 1, a small bundle price may be offered.

• Will touch-ups be included?
  No. Festival tattoos are final and do not include touch-ups.

• Will aftercare be provided?
  Yes, aftercare ointment will be provided at the event after your tattoo (soap not included).
  You’ll also receive aftercare instructions to your e-mail, and is posted above on this page in case you lose or forget it.

• Do I need to leave a deposit?
  No upfront payment is required, but you must leave a credit card on file to secure your spot. A $40 fee will only be charged if you no-show, cancel/reschedule with less than 4 hours notice, or disclose a contraindication that prevents tattooing.

• Can I bring friends with me?
  I prefer one-on-one appointments, but will allow 1 guest in the space. The space is small as well as this allows a calm, focused atmosphere.

• Can the designs be modified?
  Due to time limitations... Simple modifications CAN be done like omitting stars/dots/lines out, or adding minor dots.

• What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash is preferred and includes tax.

Debit and credit are also accepted, but tax will be added at checkout.
You will not be charged in advance — payment is collected in person at the event. 

• Can I use the sauna or cold plunge after getting tattooed?

Generally, you should avoid sweating or soaking a fresh tattoo while it heals. However, if your bandage is still on and intact, a brief, mindful sauna or plunge session is not likely to harm it. Just avoid long exposure afterward, and keeping it clean and moisturized for the rest of healing will be just fine.

Remove the bandage directly after the sauna/plunge and begin ointment care. 

• What if the tattoo time slots sell out?

If time slots are full, You can be added to the tattoo waitlist if spots/walk in time becomes available! Put your name on the waitlist
