Frequently Asked Questions


How do I book a custom tattoo?

Upload reference photos of your idea , screenshots of my existing work, and a description of your idea to my booking form.

After receiving a deposit and confirming the appointment date, I will send an iteration of the design the night before (anywhere from 8pm-2am) to get your thoughts. We will be able to make any adjustments necessary at the beginning of the appointment.

What’s your rescheduling policy?

After you receive the confirmation email from Acuity, you will be able to reschedule your appointment on your own up to 2 weeks before the date of the appointment through the link in that email.

I am very understanding and flexible as long as you communicate.

Do you do cover ups?

I assess cover ups on a case-by-case basis. Most likely it’s a no but you can upload photos of your intended idea when filling out my booking form.

Can I buy your designs to get tattooed elsewhere?

I sell my designs at a flat rate of $100. Please email snows0uptattoo@gmail.com for further steps. I advise finding an artist who’s portfolio is mostly fine-line illustrative.

As a precautionary warning — I have seen the results of my bought designs tattooed by other artists and they rarely look as good, just being honest.

After I receive the payment, you can send me a list of artists you’re considering in your area and I will offer my thoughts on who I think would be the best choice to execute the tattoo.

I do not do custom design commissions.

Do you only tattoo your designs once?

I tattoo my original designs indefinitely until I decide to take it down. By request I can make simple modifications to any of my designs (ex: change color, sparkles)

Do you have experience tattooing black skin?

I have tattooed black skin a handful of times. The healed results look just as good but if this is an area of concern, please make a note in my form regarding this and we can work out a lower rate.

How do I book a matching tattoo?

Please have all people fill out the form, I will reply in one group email with appointment options for a back-to-back session.

I will require a deposit from each person.

Are you taking apprentices?

At the moment, no! Although I would like to share my tattoo knowledge one day when the time is right.

What inks do you use?

I use Eternal, Dynamic, and Intenze. All of which claim to be vegan and cruelty-free.

What’s the aftercare procedure?
