All appointments require a NON - REFUNDABLE deposit. This is due at time of booking. Deposits can range from $50(for small tattoos)- $300(for large projects). This price will be discussed at your consultation.
Until deposit has been paid and you have been given an appointment time and date, you do not have a tattoo appointment.
Your deposit secures the appointment time and date and will come off of your LAST session if there are multiple sessions.
You must provide atleast 24 hour notice to reschedule - this will move your deposit to your new date.
You will LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT if you "no-call, no- show", cancel or reschedule the day of your appointment, or if you are more than 20 minutes late without notice.
Emergencies happen, I totally get it. Don't be afraid to contact me or the shop if circumstances change. Even if its against my policy, please reach out so we see what we can do to keep your deposit and move it to a new date.
I'm very flexible, I promise!
rescheduling the same appointment more than 2 times, will forfeit your deposit and you will have to submit another in order to re book.
I'm open to holding your deposit for up to 6 months in case of last minute changes( i.e. pregnancy, deployments etc.) But you must provide notice within the 24 hr window AND you will have 6 months to pick a new date for your tattoo. This is completely on you to remember, I cannot chase you down to remind you!
If you will need a reminder you need to provide that information when you cancel.
****I do not take deposits through ANY social media or direct messages, do not get scammed.
If you are unsure if you are sending money to me, please stop by or call Thriller Street tattoo to confirm or to pay in cash.
Any cancelled appointment requires a new deposit to re book.

This can be a tricky question for most! There are no exact specifications, but a good rule of thumb, if it can fit in the palm of your hand, its probably( but not always) a walk-in. If you want something custom, realistic, intricate, or bigger than your palm, that is normally an appointment piece. If you’re still unsure, feel free to come by the shop and show me! Or, if you’re not in a rush, fill out a request form and i will respond within 5 business days.

If you’re looking to ask questions and inquire about getting a specific tattoo done, fill out a tattoo request form. Or stop by the shop and lets talk in person! Just make sure you give the shop a call to see if i’m available. If im not, you can leave your contact info i will contact you ASAP.
For general tattoo questions give the shop a call and they can direct you to the right source.

Most tattoos would be priced by the piece, usually determined by size, placement and the design itself. My minimum ( and the shop minimum at TST) is $100. If you’re unsure if your tattoo would be a minimum price, contact the shop or send a request form.
Large pieces will be priced by the hour at $150 an hr. This can sound scary, but I will always work with you on how we can accomplish your vision while staying in your budget. I can break a tattoo into as many sessions as you need, spread over a longer time period to make session prices smaller.
If that’s not for you, we can knock out 8-10 hour days to get you tattooed in a shorter time period. Whatever you can do I can do I can work with it, so don’t feel like you have to pay a large sum at once, there are other options!

These are things you may need to bring, wear or do to prepare for your upcoming tattoo:
If you are over the age of 18 all you need is a valid ID or passport. NO MILITARY IDs.
no copies, no pictures on phones. PHYSICAL STATE IDs only.
Stay hydrated, do not drink excessily the day/night before.
No blood thinners, pain medications etc due to the risk of bleeding.
Eat , eat, eat. You WILL sit better and feel better if you’re not hungry. Eat carbs and get cozy because being able to sit comfortably and relax is your only job during your appointment!
Dress appropriately for the tattoo you’re getting! bikinis, pasties, shorts and tube tops are examples of some things you might need to wear depending on the placement. anything that does not interfere with the tattoo process is perfect. Wear as much or as little as you’d like, just make sure its practical. I have room dividers to give extra privacy when needed or requested.
Please be aware of your hygiene, we want a clean, smell free environment that is comfortable for all people in the shop. So please, show up clean and fresh and ready to be in close counters!
DO NOT SHAVE. Trimming is totally fine, and preferred(but not required) if the area has long hair. One of the steps in prepping your skin before I tattoo includes shaving the area. If you shave at home, I still have to shave it again. This causes irritation. so just let me do it for you! I promise I don’t mind, its apart of every clients prep and allowing me to do it gives me the clean, smooth canvas that I’ll need to work on you. When you shave before your appointment it can cause razor bumps, rashes, and redness that affects the way the tattoo is applied.
If you have any allergies to medical adhesives, latex, lavender, or any other ingredients commonly found in cleaning or beauty products, PLEASE let me know at your consultation or before you get tattooed.
Make sure to talk with your doctor and notify me prior to your appointment if you are diabetic, or on blood thinners because this will affect your tattoo and healing process.
If you are unsure if you have a medical condition and/or medication that would affect your ability to be tattooed or heal a tattoo, please contact your doctor as I am not a healthcare professional.
