frequently asked questions

  • Booking is available online via my “Book Now” button!

    From my booking platform you can submit a custom request or claim an available design. I typically get back to requests within a week. If your design is approved you will be prompted to pay a deposit and then you can select a date/time that works best for you.

  • Nope! I work by appointment only so I can give you and your tattoo the time it deserves.

    However, every month or so I offer walk-in weekend where flash designs will be offered at a lower price point. These dates will be posted here on my website as well as Instagram.

  • You are more than welcome to bring a friend to your appointment, I do ask that you limit to one friend unless you’ve checked in with me prior to your appointment.

  • Flash designs are typically a set price that I will quote when booked (can vary slightly based on size).

    Custom tattoos are based off my hourly rate of $150. Given there’s ample information on your inquiry form (size, placement, style) I will provide a quote for your custom request to give you an idea of how much your tattoo will cost. I will try my best to stay within the quoted amount and work within budgets during the appointment assuming major changes such as size change, complexity, etc. occur.

    My hourly rate is $150 with a minimum of $100.

  • My tattoo style is illustrative, blackwork and fine line. I’m pretty versatile but if you’re not sure feel free to reach out or ask about booking a consult. Check out my portfolio to see my previous work.

    I do not offer full-color tattoos, American traditional, or large scale realism pieces.

  • I created Slow Days as a private space where things aren’t rushed and every tattoo is approached with care. It’s just me, working one-on-one, in a quiet environment that allows space for focus, conversation, or just stillness. I want you to feel welcome, respected, and inspired the moment you walk in — whether you're getting tattooed or just stopping by.

    • Hydrate well the day before and day of your appointment. Moisturizing your skin leading up to your appointment is highly recommended. Happy skin takes ink better.

    • Avoid alcohol and drugs (including weed) for at least 24 hours before your appointment. They can thin your blood, increase bleeding, and make you more sensitive to pain.

    • Don’t come sunburned — I can’t tattoo over damaged or peeling skin. If you have sunburn in the area you want tattooed at the time of appointment you will be charged no-show fee! (aka lose your deposit $$)

    • Eat a solid meal before your appointment — this will help with nerves and make pain more manageable.

    • Wear comfortable clothing that gives me easy access to the tattoo area. Think loose, cozy, and nothing you mind getting a little ink on.

    If you’re not sure about anything, just shoot me a message! I want you feeling prepared and confident to ensure the best experience for both of us :-)

  • Life happens! I ask for at least 48 hours notice to reschedule. If your appointment is over 48 hours away you can request a reschedule through your appointment link. If you need any assistance just send me a message on Venue.

    Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date if rescheduled more than 48 hours in advance.

  • Yep! Touchups are free of charge for the first 6 months of your tattoo (unless it is apparent to me that proper aftercare was not followed).

    Beyond 6 months - $20 a touchup.

    I ask that you wait a month for your tattoo to settle before your touchup appointment and update me with a current photo of your tattoo.

  • Cash is preferred, but I also accept credit card & venmo. Payments made via credit card may be subject to a 2.5% fee.

  • I’ll give you an aftercare rundown after we finish your tattoo as well as a “care card” if you need it. Aftercare instructions are also laid out here on my website.

    Of course if you have any questions feel free to message me on Venue, DM on Instagram or send me an email

  • If you have an appointment scheduled with me or an open request through Venue please message me there in the chat and I will get back to you within 48 hours for routine questions, if its anything urgent I’ll reply asap!

    If you do not have an appointment the best way to reach me is through Instagram DMs or send me an email. If I am fully booked I like to ‘turn off’ and can be a bit slack with messages so please be patient with me :-)
