Frequently Asked Questions

Rates and Deposits

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, to book and secure your appointment time, I require a non-refundable deposit, ($100).

This deposit will go towards the cost of your tattoo.

Like everyone else, I need to survive and I have bills to pay, and if there is a last minute cancellation or reschedule it’s very difficult to fill that spot and make a living that day. Exceptions are made if I am the one that needs to reschedule, most likely due to illness.

That being said, if you give at least 72 hours notice, we can rebook your appointment and your deposit will still go towards the cost of your tattoo.

My rate is $150/hour (with a minimum charge of one hour per appointment). I will give plenty of notice when those rates go up, and will always honour the rate at the time of booking! (i.e. if my rate happens to go up between the time you book and your appointment, you will be charged the lower rate)

Simple script is $130.

General

What are flash tattoos?

Flash tattoos are designs I have already drawn up, and are ready to go! They come in a variety of sizes, can be black and grey, or colour. Sometimes they can only be tattooed once (usually the more detailed and bigger ones), while some are repeatable!

I like to do a little bit of everything – at this point, I am still exploring! Some of my favourites are Neo Traditional, Illustrative, and American Traditional.

The best place to keep up with my latest tattoos is my instagram or facebook! 

Yes I do! If you would like something custom, please fill out my consult form. Then we can go from there. 

t’s super easy! You just have to fill out my consult or flash form and submit it. Once I have received and reviewed your submission, I will reach out to schedule a time for your tattoo or consult. Please check your spam/junk folder while you’re waiting for a response, as sometimes my emails go there. 

I currently do not tattoo hands, feet, throats, faces, or genitals.

Water, your favourite snacks, a book, fully charged phone to scroll on, headphones if it helps to listen to your own music (though I am also very happy to have somebody to chat with during the appointment)! Also, very important, a way to pay. 

Yes! My books are always open, and I like to book up to a couple months ahead. Even if you want to book a month or so in advance, that is fine with me!

Location and Parking

Where are you located?

I tattoo out of The Very Good Tattoo Company which is located at 3050 Unit J Portage Ave. It is across from the Daily Grind, and between Woodlands Crescent and Country Club Boulevard. 

There is parking within the strip mall, but if it is full, there are a few residential streets around the area. You are okay to park in front lot (even if it says only for computer customers), just do not park on the side stalls as those are for the animal hospital and mechanics. 

Absolutely! There are stops along Portage Ave.  The ones that are closest are the 22, 220, and 885.

Yes! In the front there is a stall beside a dip in the curb where you can get up onto the sidewalk.
