╰ My tattoo apprenticeship started Fall of 2021 while I completed my Bachelor's in Psychology at the University of Houston. I did my first tattoo in March 2023 and have been at studio Dude Trust Me since July 2024!
╰ please read through my FAQs page before submitting a tattoo consultation form! <3╰ Do not email me for booking, I only book through the tattoo consultation form below. Tattoo Consultation Form╰ After completing the form you will receive an email from [email protected] within a week :)! BEWARE OF SCAM ACCOUNTS !
╰ How do I book? Please fill out a consultation form! Even for in person consultations :)╰ How much will it cost? Each piece varies! Please fill out a consultation form so I can form an estimate based on your request. I am open to trading :D╰ Why do you require a non-refundable deposit? This is to ensure that we do not waste each others time, and it also goes towards the total cost of the tattoo. (Ex. If the tattoo costs $500 total, you pay the $100 deposit when you book, and then the remaining $400 after the appointment)╰ What's your cancellation policy? If you need to reschedule please give at least a 24 hour notice before the current appointment date. If you no-show or are more than 30 minutes late without prior notification your appointment will be cancelled and deposit forfeited. A new deposit will be required to book another appointment.╰ How long will the tattoo take? It really depends on the size and detail of the tattoo. Please avoid overscheduling on the day of your tattoo.╰ Do you do custom designs? Yes! PLEASE :D╰ Will it hurt? Yes, the needle is going in your skin. It feels like a cat scratching at a sunburn or a rubber band snapping you repeatedly, BUT we can take as many breaks as you need and we can stop at anytime!╰ Can I bring a friend? You may bring a plus one :)╰ Do you provide numbing cream? No, I am open to working with it though. The FDA has released a list of brands to avoid. If you do plan on using numbing cream please let me know and PLEASE TEST IT FIRST to check for allergic reactions.╰ Do you like talking while tattooing? I'm comfortable with either. Usually I talk more in the beginning and then I lock in after a bit. But if you have any questions feel free to ask! I absolutely do not mind if you don't want to talk at all too.╰ Do you tattoo over scars? Yes, but only for healed scars older than a year.╰ Do you do cover ups? It depends. If you are interested, please fill out a form and include a picture in your description. I'll be able to tell if I can work on it after seeing it.╰ Do I need a touch up? The first touch up is free and can be scheduled two months after your appointment when it is done healing.
╰ You will receive a draft of your design the night before your appointment. (Let me know on your booking form if you would like to see a draft a couple days before your appointment.)╰ You will be able to make changes to your design before we begin╰ Being well-rested and comfortable will help minimize discomfort during your session╰ Make sure you eat before your appointment and bring snacks╰ I cannot tattoo you if you are not 18+!!!╰ I beg you please do not hesitate to speak up about anything!!! I am not easily offended, you will not hurt my feelings!! Tattoos are very permanent so our communication and understanding are very important to me!
