GENERAL

⟡ I am a resident artist at a private studio called Inkpress Studio in the Outer Richmond, San Francisco.

⟡ “California Penal Code Section 653 prohibits tattooing or offering to tattoo a person under the age of 18, regardless of parental consent.” I will not tattoo anyone under 18 years old.

⟡ I only work in black & grey and my style generally falls into realism/micro-realism. I love soft shading, fine line, and all the small details. I love to tattoo customs *as long as I can see myself working your idea in my style and abilities.*

BOOKING

⟡ I charge price per piece - not an hourly rate. This will be quoted to you during the booking process based on the design elements, size, and placement. My minimum is $150 but most tattoos range from $200-$400.

⟡ Can I see the custom design before my appointment? My process is to show you the design in-person at your appointment where you can review and request edits/adjustments if you’d like.

⟡ For group/pair appointments, please have each person fill out their own booking form. Please write-in the names of the everyone in your group in the “Anything else you’d like me to know?” question.

⟡ Don’t make plans within ~6hrs of your appointment. I’m happy to provide a specific time estimate based on your design however a tattoo can always take longer than expected. I don’t want either of us to feel rushed :)

DEPOSIT

⟡ No appointment is booked (& no flash design is reserved) without a paid deposit. As the last step of booking, you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit which will go toward the total cost of your tattoo.

⟡ I allow one reschedule with at least a 48 hour notice. To reschedule with less than a 48 hour notice or to reschedule again, you would need to send a new deposit.

⟡ If you need to cancel your appointment, your deposit will not be refunded.

APPOINTMENT

⟡ Please wear clothing that is comfortable and appropriate for the placement of your tattoo. I would avoid light colored clothing or anything special in case ink gets on them.

⟡ Please bring your physical valid ID to your appointment.

⟡ Feel free to bring yourself a snack, headphones, or a book to make your session more comfortable. I’m happy to chat with you or you may opt for listening to your own music or a silent session.

⟡ You are welcome to bring up to three friends with you for support if you’d like.

⟡ For payment on the day of your tattoo I prefer cash but also accept Venmo.

TIMING

⟡ There is street parking in the area but allow yourself time to find a spot and for traffic (2hr parking spots are great and very rarely ticketed but be cautious of street sweeping times).

⟡ Please arrive to your appointment on time and contact me via email/Instagram if you’re running late. A late fee may be added to your tattoo total after 30 minutes. I may have to reschedule you (requiring a new deposit) if you are more than 30 mins late.

⟡ “No call/no shows” will not be able to make another appointment at Inkpress Studio.

TOUCH-UPS

⟡ One touch-up is free within a year of getting a tattoo from me. However-

⟡ There is a fee for touch-ups on these tattoo placements: fingers, hands, feet, and ears

⟡ ^These touch-ups start at $50 and go up depending on the size and detail of the design.

⟡ Tattoos on areas like the hands, fingers, feet, and ears tend to fade faster due to constant friction, thinner skin, higher skin regeneration, and increased sun exposure, all of which make it harder for ink to stay vibrant. Proper aftercare and sun protection can help minimize fading and preserve the tattoo's appearance over time.
