WELCOME!
Thank you so much for your interest in getting a tattoo from me, particularly if you're considering a unique irezumi or wabori style tattoo. I look forward to hearing about your idea(s), and will get back to you as soon as possible. Before we begin, please read all of the following information carefully.
PLEASE NOTE:
I ask you to allow up to a week and a half for a response before reaching out again. I will do my best to reply as quickly as possible, but keep in mind this is a small scale operation, so depending on work, family life, and travel, response times may vary.
I do not duplicate or copy others’ designs. All of my work is original, especially when it comes to creating custom Japanese tattoos or irezumi inspired pieces, unless otherwise specified.
Remember, this is an application. I strive to accommodate as many clients as I can, but should your project be outside of my particular capabilities, interests, or comfort zone, I reserve the right to decline. This includes designs that fall outside the realm of my expertise in traditional wabori or other Japanese tattoo styles. If this happens, it is nothing personal, and I will gladly help you find an artist or studio that is a better fit for your vision. My ultimate goal is to provide you with the best experience and the most authentic tattoo art possible, ensuring that both you and I are confident, comfortable, and excited about the final design.
RATES:
I require a $250 deposit for all tattoos. For larger scale or highly customized work such as a full sleeve or back piece in irezumi or wabori style, I may require a $500 deposit. These deposits secure your appointment in my calendar and are non-refundable to protect my time and effort in creating your custom Japanese tattoo design and incorporating you into my schedule. This deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo and is applied at the last session or once the work is completed.
When coming in for your tattoo appointment, I accept both CASH and BANK TRANSFER at the end of every session. Please note that CASH IS PREFERRED, as it’s the fastest and easiest way to pay.
RESCHEDULING/CANCELLATION:
Life happens, and I understand that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Should you need to reschedule, I require a MINIMUM of 48 hours' notice prior to our appointment. This way, your deposit will be applied to the rescheduled date. Deposits are valid for 6 months from the payment date, so regardless of the reason for rescheduling, it’s your responsibility to follow through with an appointment within that period.
In the event of a cancellation or reschedule within 48 hours of the appointment, your deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to reschedule. This policy helps to protect the time set aside in my schedule, although it doesn't account for the time spent preparing your design. Please understand that even with 48 hours' notice, cancellations still result in lost time, work, and income on my end.
AGE/IDENTIFICATION:
In accordance with THE IRISH legislation, you must be 18 years or older to receive a tattoo, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please bring a VALID (not expired) form of identification (driver’s license, state ID, passport, etc.) to your appointment that includes a photograph of you, your name, and your date of birth. Failure to do so may result in rescheduling and potential loss of deposit.
