Being able to be thorough and clear with the process of our upcoming project is very important to the journey of bringing this masterpiece to life! Since a lot was gone over, I wanted to share this with you so that you so you can refresh yourself at your leisure!

-Sessions are 3 or 6 hours long (per appointment)-

His prices will be increasing at the first of the year. 

 -The deposit is half down. You’ll pay the other half on the day of your appointment 

 -The deposit is non-refundable for any reason 

 -Deposits are non-transferable between people 

 -A complete design change requires a new deposit. New idea, new deposit.

-Mike designs based on everything you and I talked about and anything you two go over in your consultation, if one is needed.

-Mike does not send sketches beforehand(There is a loss of translation through messages anyway, trying to explain artwork that is drawn as a stencil is difficult to explain through texts. Also, Mike does this because there is a chance of artwork being stolen that way and he doesn’t participate in that. He designs from his heart on meaningful pieces for you and it’s saddening when their artwork is stolen or misunderstood.) 

-If Mike needs to make minor adjustments, explain the design more in depth, or resize anything, it’s much more efficient to do it with you there, the day of your appointment right before he starts tattooing. 

-Once the design is understood and everything you ever dream of, then he starts tattooing.

-Remember that he is an intuitive artist. Everything that you have seen in his portfolio was done that way. Sometimes when he is on the skin, he gets inspired and magic happens. You get more of a unique piece that way!

-Make sure you eat two (2) hours prior to your appointment so your blood sugar is normal. Keep a clean diet 2 days leading up to the tattoo. Healthier eating = healthier skin. Eating healthy will help the skin take ink, and take less time. 

-Bring water with you because it reduces the swelling and redness of the skin and starts healing the tattoo immediately.

-You may bring one (1) friend with you. You can come by yourself. These are completely fine.(Don’t bring more friends. We love people but we have multiple artists in the shop, all with clients. Also, friends tend to become more distracting and you unconsciously move more than you think you are which compromises the quality of the work.) People can stop by, but please, no groups.

 (Please leave the kids at home! It is not safe or legal to have children in the tattoo shop. There is possible exposure to biohazards and sharps. It’s not child-friendly environment) 

-Once the tattoo is finished, Mike will go over aftercare with you.

-If you cancel or no-show then you forfeit your deposit.(Please let me know because I can do more to help if there is communication)

-If you need to reschedule, you get one (1) reschedule per appointment.

-If you reschedule and can’t make your second appointment, then you forfeit your deposit. (Unless it is an emergency. I understand that life happens because it happens to me so please just let me know and I am willing to work with you. We have a limit on how many times someone can reschedule because it takes up time in Mike’s schedule)

-If I reschedule you, it does not count as your reschedule.

-If you cancel or no-show then you forfeit your deposit.(Please let me know because I can do more to help if there is communication) 

-If you need to reschedule, you get one (1) reschedule per appointment.

-If you reschedule and can’t make your second appointment, then you forfeit your deposit. 

I hope this helps you understand how your session will go and relieve any concerns or misunderstanding! If you have any questions between now and your appointment that weren’t covered, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
