Tattoo Booking

I'm so glad you're thinking of getting a tattoo from me! Here is some info that should make my booking process nice and easy for you...

How Do I Book A Tattoo?

It's easy, just pop back here when my books next open, tap this button, and fill out a form...

This link will open on 6-7th November for Winter 2026 bookings

✦

I currently book seasonally, so my books open 4 times a year.

I will next be booking up Winter 2026 (December to February 2027) on 6-7th November.

The booking form will open 9am Friday and close at 9pm Saturday.

On Sunday 8th November I will work through all the requests and email you with a booking link. So keep an eye on your inbox!

I often get more requests than I am able to accommodate (please don't be angry at me, I only have one pair of hands) but you can always submit again in the next round of booking.

I do reply to everyone that submits a request.

How Do I Know When Your Books Open?

If you sign up for my newsletter you will get a handy reminder for when my books open!

My newsletter also gives you a first look at any new designs I have available, first notice of any guest spots I’m doing, as well as the opportunity to grab any last minute cancellation spaces.

Is there anything you don't tattoo?

I specialise in blackwork tattoos, so no colour ink, sorry.

I do take on select cover-ups and reworks, but it’s always best to contact me in advance with a photo of what you’d like improved before submitting a request.

I only tattoo faces, hands and necks of clients I have already tattooed (or heavily tattooed people).

I only tattoo people aged 21+ (yes 18 is the legal limit but y'all still babies to me).

When will you design my tattoo?

This depends on the type of appointment you book! I have two options...

Freehand Appointment

For floral tattoos!

Drawing directly onto your body allows me to create tattoos that flow naturally with your anatomy in a way that just isn't possible on paper. We'll work together in person, adjusting the placement and flow, until it feels completely right before we begin tattooing.

If you've followed my work for a while, you'll know this is how the majority of my floral pieces are created, and it's still the process I recommend whenever I think it'll create the strongest tattoo.

You'll pay a $200 deposit when booking this appointment, which will be deducted from your total at the end of your tattoo.

Custom Appointment

For tattoos that benefit from being designed beforehand, we'll begin the design process around four weeks before your appointment.

We'll begin with a consultation (either in person or via zoom), to get the conversation flowing. Then we will work back and forth, exploring ideas and refining sketches (I'll be doing the sketching, don't panic), until we reach your perfect design. And you'll have plenty of time to sit with the design before your appointment.

On the day of your tattoo we'll use a mix of stencils and freehand drawing to finalise your tattoo design on your skin, so that it fits and flows perfectly with you.

You'll pay a $200 DESIGN CHARGE when booking this appointment, which will NOT be deducted from your total at the end of your tattoo.

What is your studio like?

I have a lovely private tattoo studio in Corktown (Queen and Sumach area). It's not accessible from the street (I'll give you easy instructions to find it when you book your appointment).

It's only ever me and you in the tattoo area, so it's a very peaceful environment. No one will be staring at you while you get tattooed.

Tattoo appointments begin at 10am and end at 3pm.

I do not have 'open hours' or take walk-ins atm. If you would like to chat with me in person or via zoom, email me and we can set up a consultation.

How much will my tattoo cost?

That depends on what you get tattooed!

My tattoo sessions are between $600-1200 (plus tax) per sitting.

I cannot guarantee how long a tattoo will take, but I can give you an estimate if you email me.

Deposits and design charges are non-refundable and can be transferred (up to two times) in the event of a cancellation, if 72 hours notice is given.

What's in your booking form?

If you prefer to plan your tattoo submission in advance these are the more lengthy questions you will find in the form...

Do you have any specific dates you absolutely require (the more flexible you are the more chance you'll get an appointment)?
Is there a story or meaning behind your tattoo - feel free to share, I really love knowing this!

What is your tattoo idea?!!. Please be specific! If you have multiple different elements you want to incorporate please let me know their priority order. Will you be willing to omit anything to make the design work better?
Where do you want your tattoo? Are you 100% set on it or would you be happy to work with what's best for the design? Left or right side?
What size do you want your tattoo to be? In inches please (approx is fine)
Do you have a specific composition/layout/flow in mind for your tattoo? Ie, is there something you want as the focal point / do you want it the wrap a certain direction / is there something you'd prefer to be a little hidden in the design?
Add a photo of the area you want tattooed! I'll draw on top of it so try to take it from a straight on POV (no mirror selfies please! Use a timer instead 🙂) Please clearly show any existing tattoos you have in the same area!
Add up to 5 images of MY work that you love! This gives me a good idea of what you like in general.
Add up to 5 reference images specifically for your tattoo. These can be artwork / photographs / mood boards / anything that visually shows what you like. You can make notes on the images before you upload them if you have something specific you really like / don't like about that image 🙂. Please note I will not directly copy any other tattoos or artwork and I really don't like AI mock ups of tattoos (I find them super unhelpful, sorry)
Do you have a Pinterest board for your tattoo?
How do you want your tattoo to make you feel?
What do you want to convey to someone who views your tattoo?
Do you have any long-term tattoo goals that might be useful for me to know about (Ie. 'this piece will eventually become a sleeve / backpiece / full leg' or 'this will be my only tattoo ever'
What is your budget for this tattoo?

I will also have some other simple questions, like your contact info etc.

Thanks for reading! Let me know if you have any questions.

Tattoo FAQ

How do I see your flash and one-off tattoo designs?!

Where your studio is located?

In Corktown! At 90 Sumach Street, Toronto, M5A4R4,

Is there parking?

Yes we have free visitor parking here!

What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?

Absolutely anything that will help make you more comfortable. I have plenty of space at the studio, so feel free to bring anything you like. I recommend cosy socks or slippers - we have concrete floors.

I have a blog post about what to expect during your tattoo appointment here.

Should I use numbing cream for my tattoo?

I recommend not using numbing cream, Firstly it can change the surface of the skin to a 'rubbery' texture, which is harder to tattoo. It also stops my freehand markers sticking to your skin very well. And finally it doesn't last very long (less time than they say), so by the time we've freehanded your design it's basically pointless. Your body is capable of getting though a tattoo session without numbing cream, trust it.

Can I get tattooed while pregnant // breast feeding?

No, due to the risk of infection and blood borne disease it's always better to just wait.

Can I get tattooed while fasting?

It's best not to. Getting tattooed takes a toll on the body and if you're fasting you're far more likely to go into shock. I always recommend eating well prior to getting tattooed and also eating snacks throughout a tattoo to keep your blood sugar levels up
