Happy Monday everyone!
I've been really busy with a lot of background moving pieces, but I just wanted to post an update with some of my policies and procedures.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
(UPDATED 06/15/2026)
AVAILABILITY:
I am available by appointment only throughout the week, including in-person consultations. I try to respond to messages within two to three days.
CURRENT RATES:
Most tattoos are priced by the piece, based on size, complexity, placement, etc. On average, my hourly rate is $100.
You’re always welcome to break up your tattoo into multiple sessions if needed, just know your deposit will be applied to the final session.
I offer half-day and full-day options as well. A half day session is $250 for three (3) hours. A full day session is $500 for six (6) hours.
My pre-drawn flash is always available at a discounted rate, feel free to reach out if you see anything you’re interested in!
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
Cash, Venmo, CashApp, and card (with service fee) are accepted.
PREFERRED CONTACT:
You’re welcome to message me via e-mail ([email protected]) or on my business pages (Little Nattoo on Facebook, on instagram).
Please note it may take two to three days for a response.
REQUESTING AN APPOINTMENT:
Please send me a message with the following information:
- Description of your tattoo design (photo references are recommended; please AVOID sending AI generated images as they are not realistic ideas of tattoos)
- Desired placement / size of tattoo
- Preferred days of the week
- Cell number for your appointment reminders
- E-mail (if you prefer to pay your deposit via Square)
Please be prepared to pay a deposit once scheduling your appointment. You can pay your deposit via Square (an invoice can be sent to you via e-mail), CashApp, or Venmo.
Once your deposit has been collected, you will receive a notification from Square with your appointment information. You will also receive another text message reminder 48 hours prior to your appointment and another the day of your appointment.
DEPOSIT POLICY:
A deposit is required when booking your appointment. Your deposit is applied to the final cost of your tattoo. The deposit is $50 for a small tattoo or a half day session, or $100 for a full day session. When booking for a multiple session tattoo, your deposit will be applied to the FINAL appointment.
The deposit is non-refundable, but can be transferred up to one time in the event of a reschedule within thirty (30 days).
ATTENDENCE POLICY:
Please arrive on time for your appointment. In the event that you are running behind for your appointment, please be aware that there is a 30 (thirty) minute grace period before your appointment is subject to cancellation. There may be other appointments after your allotted time, so please be mindful. Arriving earlier for an appointment does not guarantee earlier service.
In the event that you need to reschedule your appointment, please contact me DIRECTLY.
No-call no-shows are subject to a two-strike policy:
- 1st offense: the initial deposit is forfeited and a second deposit will be required to reschedule.
- 2nd offense: the second deposit will be forfeited, 50% tattoo payment will be required to reschedule.
- 3rd offense, client will not be able to rebook & be referred out.
In the event that I need to reschedule your appointment for any reason, a 10% discount will be applied for the inconvenience. I appreciate the grace given during emergencies, bad weather, or other misfortunes of life.
Please do not schedule outings or events the day of your tattoo. I will not be rushed through your tattoo procedure.
TOUCH UP POLICY:
I offer one (1) free touch up within the first six months of a tattoo procedure. A touch up requested outside of the six-month period for the tattoo will require a set up fee (based on market availability and value of products, various inks & needles used). I do not offer free touch ups for areas known for high risk of “falling out” or “fading”, such as the hands, fingers, feet, toes, face, neck, elbows, ditches, knees, ankles, etc.
I do not offer a free touch up if a client has used a numbing agent (outside of Bactine during the tattoo application) regardless if the client has used numbing agents prior.
NUMBING CREAM POLICY:
While I am not against using a numbing agent like Bactine (lidocaine 4%) during the tattoo process in small doses, I do not recommend the use of numbing cream prior to most tattoo procedures. CDC actually discouraged the use of lidocaine products exceeding 5% due to high risks back in 2024, with side effects including difficulty breathing and heart problems. Numbing agents tend to affect how the skin reacts to pigment and can alter the healing process, therefore I cannot guarantee my work if the client applies numbing cream prior to an appointment – numbing cream is to be used at the client’s risk. Free touch ups are excluded to those applying numbing agents outside of Bactine during the tattoo appointment.
COVER UPS:
I am slowly branching into more cover ups lately but only the projects I feel comfortable with executing.
Please be aware that with cover ups, there may be limitations with subject matter depending on how faded your tattoo is. Please make an appointment for an in-person consultation so I can assess the tattoo in person.
If I am not confident in being able to give you the best tattoo possible, I will recommend you to another artist that I trust to complete this project for you.
REWORKING / REFRESHING EXISTING TATTOOS:
I have no issues with reworking or touching up a tattoo I had not completed. Some tattoos need a little extra love due to multiple factors such as client lifestyle, artist technique, artist or client relocation, or just old age. It’s your body and your choice at the end of the day. An in-person consultation is recommended so we are able to discuss your end goals.
DRAWING POLICY:
I do not draw designs without a scheduled appointment and without a deposit collected. Designs are not sent out prior to the appointment, as designs are generally drawn the day before. This gives you ample time for any kind of adjustments or changes you may want to make to your design. There will be an opportunity at your appointment prior to stencil placement to make minor changes to your design, however larger changes or complete re-draws may require rescheduling.
