F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

BOOKING AND PRICING

  • Final pricing is determined by the time spent designing and tattooing your piece. If you would like a price quote, please submit an inquiry through the booking form at Neon Tiger Atlanta with your idea, placement, and approximate size. Please note that major design changes may require a new deposit, as they involve additional time and labor. I kindly ask that you respect the time and work that goes into each project: tattooing is my profession and primary source of income.

  • My studio accepts cash, card, and tap-to-pay, though cash is preferred. All payments are processed through Neon Tiger Atlanta. Deposits can be paid using the payment link sent after your consultation, and the remaining balance will be due on the day of your appointment.

  • To book an appointment, please fill out the contact form here with details about your tattoo idea. I’ll review your submission and get back to you to discuss your concept and schedule a consultation or appointment if it’s a good fit.

    I get a lot of messages, and this form helps keep everything organized-for both me and you.
    No DMs, texts, or emails! All communication goes through Neon Tiger Atlanta only. Once you submit your form, we’ll take it from there!

  • When submitting an inquiry, please include:

    • Your contact information (email and phone number)

    • Tattoo placement (photo of where you’d like it on your own body)

    • Approximate size of the tattoo (in inches)

    • Style preference (realism, neotraditional, blackwork, etc.)

    • Description of your concept with any specific details

    • Reference images (up to 3) to give me a better idea of what you’re envisioning

  • I aim to respond within 48 hours. Because of the nature of tattooing, I’m not always able to be on my phone, and all messages are handled by me directly. Due to high message volume, some may occasionally be missed, so feel free to follow up if you don’t hear back. I appreciate your patience and understanding, as it’s just me managing everything.

  • Yes, I do require a non-refundable $50 deposit for short appointments and a non-refundable $100 deposit for full-day appointments to secure your booking. A deposit must be placed before I begin designing your tattoo. This goes toward the total cost of your tattoo and covers the time, preparation, and custom design work that goes into each piece. It will be applied to the last session of your tattoo. 

    Please note:

    • Deposits are non-refundable.

    • Deposits are valid for one year from the original booking date.

    • Rescheduling policies may apply.

    • Failure to communicate, repeated rescheduling, or no-shows may result in forfeiture of the deposit.

  • Depending on the tattoo, I can book certain projects over two consecutive days, but I don’t recommend going beyond that. If you’d like to schedule multiple sessions, a deposit is required for each day.

  • No, I don’t offer full prepayment for appointments. A deposit is required to secure your booking, and the remaining balance is due on the day of your tattoo. This helps keep scheduling flexible and ensures any last-minute adjustments to your design, timing, or session length are reflected accurately in your final total. It also allows us to keep your information and payments properly on file in case anything comes up or we need to reference your deposit.

DESIGNS AND SERVICES

  • You’ll see your design the day of your appointment. Minor adjustments can be made then, no problem. If larger changes are needed, an additional deposit may be required to cover the extra design work, and we’ll need to reschedule. Most details should be finalized during your consultation to make sure everything is ready for your session.

  • I specialize in neo-traditional, blackwork, illustrative, and black-and-grey realism tattoo styles. I especially enjoy working on concepts involving monsters, animals, nature, and organic imagery, fantasy characters, and designs inspired by video games or animation. I work in both color and black and grey, and I’m open to a wide range of styles and ideas. Feel free to message me so we can discuss your concept and explore the best options for your piece.

  • This depends on the studio’s schedule and my availability. Check with Neon Tiger Atlanta for walk-in availability through Instagram, or book a consultation for custom designs!

  • Absolutely! I love working on custom designs to bring your unique ideas to life. The more information you can give me in your inquiry, the better I can tailor a design to fit your vision.

  • Yes, I offer free touch-ups for all my clients. Just let me know if you’d like to come in for a touch-up after your tattoo has healed.

  • It depends on size, placement, and timing- feel free to ask during your consultation.

  • I do! I offer both custom digital and traditional illustrations. If you’re interested in a piece, please submit your idea through my contact form here

    Because of the nature of my work, commissions may take approximately 4–6 weeks to complete. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

APPOINTMENTS AND STUDIO POLICIES

  • Single tattoo sessions are limited to 6 hours maximum. Every tattoo varies in timing based on size, placement, detail, skin sensitivity, and cover-up work, so some projects may require multiple sessions.

    I do not offer tap out sessions. To ensure the best quality work and experience for both of us, I schedule intentional sessions that allow me to give each tattoo the focus and care it deserves. As an artist living with chronic illness, I also prioritize working within healthy physical limits so I can consistently perform at my best.

    Thank you for respecting my time, my body, and the tattooing process.

  • Deposits are non-refundable but remain valid for 1 year from the original booking date or your most recent appointment date.

    Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy

    • A new deposit will be required for no-shows.

    • A new deposit may be required if the original tattoo concept/design is significantly changed after booking, as additional drawing time and preparation may be needed.

    • Cancellations or reschedules made within 48 hours of the appointment may require a new deposit.

    • Repeated rescheduling may require a new deposit to continue booking.

    • Arriving excessively late may result in the appointment being canceled and a new deposit being required to rebook.

    • Deposits go toward the final tattoo price and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another person.

  • Because I manage chronic medical conditions, there may occasionally be situations where appointments need to be adjusted on short notice. I always do my best to communicate promptly and accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

  • If you’re experiencing any symptoms of illness, please reach out to reschedule your appointment. Since I’m immunocompromised, even a minor sickness can put me out of work for weeks or months. Your health and mine both matter, so there’s no extra deposit required if you’re genuinely sick. I’d much rather you reschedule than risk either of us losing time. If you’d feel more comfortable, you’re always welcome to request that I provide you with a mask or wear one myself during your appointment.

PREPARATION & AFTERCARE

    • Get a good night’s sleep and eat a solid meal before your appointment.

    • Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

    • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your session.

  • Aftercare instructions are provided automatically after your session. If you ever lose your copy, a digital guide is always available via here

STUDIO EXPERIENCE

  • I work at Neon Tiger Tattoo Atlanta-based in West Midtown. Full address details will be provided when we confirm your appointment.

  • My studio does not allow guests, so you’ll need to come alone to your appointment. This helps maintain a calm, focused environment for the tattooing process.

  • No. For safety, legal, and professional reasons, no one under 18 is permitted in the studio at any time; even if they are not being tattooed. Our workspace contains equipment, materials, and imagery that are not age-appropriate. This policy helps maintain a safe, hygienic, and focused environment for both artists and clients. Please make childcare arrangements before your appointment.

    Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-71), you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo legally. Parental consent is not permitted for minors.

  • Yes! If you’d like a photo of your tattoo, just reach out via email or Neon Tiger Atlanta, and I’ll be happy to send one. Don’t forget to tag me :)

  • Absolutely! I love when clients share their tattoos and experiences online! If you post your tattoo or appointment, please remain respectful toward myself, the studio, staff, and other clients. Be mindful that many clients value privacy and may not want to be photographed, recorded, or shared online without consent.

    Please ask before posting custom designs, sketches, or private studio conversations, as artwork theft is common online. Harassment, false statements, or harmful content directed toward myself, staff, or clients may result in refusal of future services.

    If you ever have an issue with your experience, please contact me directly so I can do my best to resolve it professionally. If you loved your experience, leaving a Google review and tagging me is always greatly appreciated! :)

  • All messages and appointments should remain strictly related to tattooing, artwork, or booking inquiries. Unsolicited personal, romantic, or sexual communication is inappropriate and will not be tolerated. Any contact made for reasons unrelated to commissioned work may result in being declined or permanently removed as a client. If you need to reach me outside of these subjects, please do so only in the case of a genuine tattoo-related emergency through email or the studio.
