Hey everyone! Just a quick update on booking with me to keep things running smoothly at the studio.
To make sure nothing gets lost in my spam folder, the only way to book an appointment or consultation, even for friends and family, is through my booking link. Using the Venue app makes it so much easier for you to choose your own dates without the back and forth, and it keeps all our communication in one safe place. This includes any second sessions and touch ups.
The support has been incredible since we opened the new studio in April, but I need to be stricter with my boundaries to protect my health and wellbeing. I’m usually booked about 12 weeks out and only do admin every two weeks, so I can no longer "squeeze people in." What you see available on the link is exactly what I have open.
I also wanted to touch on tattoo designs. While AI is great for inspiration, it doesn't understand how skin works and often generates tiny details that are impossible to actually tattoo. I’m happy to look at your AI concepts, but if we can't agree on a design that will realistically translate to a lasting tattoo, I might politely decline the project.
Finally, as I look toward 2027, I’m really focusing on my preferred style and will no longer be taking on projects started by other artists. Thank you all so much for understanding and helping me maintain the balance I need to keep giving you my best work!
Thanks, Katie. 🖤⚔️🐍
