FAQS

  • I’m unable to tattoo you if you’ve taken antibiotics within 10 days before your appointment or if you’re sunburnt, as both can negatively impact the tattoo and healing process. If either applies, please inform me at least 48 hours in advance so we can reschedule without forfeiting your deposit. The minimum age for a tattoo is 18—no exceptions, and I do not accept parent or guardian signatures for minors.

  • I announce open/closed books on Instagram (@ao.tats), usually on the 1st of each month. Cancellations and last-minute openings are posted on my story. Use the Venue booking link on this website—no DMs or emails for appointments. Consults aren’t required, but FaceTime/in-person consults can be arranged. Due to high demand, not all inquiries will be selected.

  • Right now I am taking on more submissions than I have in previous bookings in order to expand the types of projects I take on. With this increase in submissions, I will not be able to get back to everyone. If you haven’t heard from me within two weeks of submitting a proposal, it is because I am not able to take on your project at this time. I take care of all my emails on my own and this helps me streamline my communication with the projects I have prioritized booking.

  • A non-refundable $300 deposit is required per appointment, along with a $50 drawing fee for custom designs. The deposit & drawing fee both only cover the initial concept agreed upon.

    The deposit goes toward your final tattoo price; the drawing fee is separate. Payment details are provided during booking, and the deposit (and drawing fee) is due within 24 hours, or your slot may be given to another client.

    If the appointment is rescheduled more than once, the deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit will be required for any additional scheduling.
