Hey There,

This page is a summary of booking policies as well as some pre-care you can do to ensure your skin is in the best shape to be tattooed! Please give this a read before continuing on to book.

How To Prep

  • Drink plenty of water, have a good meal and bring snacks! Avoid alcohol and coffee for the first 24 hours before your appointment.
     

  • Feel free to bring your own headphones, ipad, books, fidget items, blankets or pillows to stay comfortable.
     

  • Exfoliate and moisturize your tattoo for at least 1-2 weeks beforehand (if possible) to prep the skin.
     

  • Wear clothing that makes it easy to access the area being tattooed. Don't hesitate to ask what kind of clothes suit certain spots. Ex. Zip up hoodie turned backwards works perfect for a backpiece.
     

  • Purchase some unscented lotion/soap beforehand. Bactine or unscented baby wipes are also good to have on hand to sanitize in a pinch.
     

  • Please allow yourself ample time to be tattooed and not make time sensitive appointments soon afterwards as there are many factors that can make an appointment run longer than anticipated. 

Policies

  • 18 or older only.
     

  • Emails may take up to a week to hear back depending on current workload. If you don't hear back by then, please send a follow up or check your junk mail.
     

  • My hourly rate is $170 plus tax (minimum is $120 for anything 30 minutes or under). I accept etransfer or cash. 
     

  • I am happy to provide quotes or do a flat rate upon request. Please let me know if you have a budget upon inquiring. 
     

  • Include any additional information in your submission you may think is important. Ex. If this is a first tattoo, coverup or over scarring/acne. If you have sensory issues or requirements, etc.
     

  • If we’re unsure about any details a consult can be booked to discuss your idea! Consults are complimentary.
     

  • A booking fee will be required to secure your spot (this comes off the final cost of your whole tattoo). This is non-refundable and requires 72 hours notice for rescheduling.
    The fee is $90 for single session pieces and $170 for anything that is two or more sessions.

     

  • All tattoos except hands/fingers/feet can have one free touch up within the first year. No shows or last minute cancellations for touch ups will void any free/complimentary touch up services.
     

  • Designs are not shown until day of the appointment where we can easily discuss any changes you may like.
     

  • I will not copy designs and will be interpreting ideas in my style. I invite you to take a look at my instagram: tatt.bat and any flash designs I have up to get an idea of what type of style I do. Allowing artistic freedom grants me the ability to do my best work and leave you with a unique piece.
     

  • If you would like to use numbing creams, please discuss this with me beforehand. Numbing cream use will also void any complimentary touchups as these can effect the healing/quality of your tattoo.
     

  • I am currently located at 557b Groves Ave, Kelowna, BC, V1Y4Y8. Bookings are by appointment only at Gingko Tattoo Club, no walk-ins available.
