Policy + info
This is my 9th year tattooing <3 I am handpoke only
My books are always open and I take submissions on a regular basis. My booking form can be found at the bottom of this page
Typically I only book appointments for the current month +1 month in advance. Any last minute openings will be posted to my Instagram story and filled on a first come first served basis
Client requirements
You must be 18+ with a valid government issued ID. You cannot be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or be pregnant or nursing. It is very important that you thoroughly communicate allergies or medical conditions prior to your appointment (ex: fear of needles, prone to fainting and/or seizures, etc.)
Appointments+Deposits
In order to secure your appointment I require a non-refundable $100 security deposit. This deposit goes towards the final cost of your tattoo and may be transferred to one rescheduled appointment with at least 48 hours notice. Please try to avoid rescheduling as only one reschedule is allowed per deposit. Your deposit is valid for six months. If you are unable to reschedule within that time frame a new deposit will be required to book another appointment.
If you are feeling sick in any way I will not tattoo you. Not only does being sick compromise your immune system, which is needed to heal the tattoo, but it is inconsiderate to risk passing your illness to the tattoo artist and others in the studio. To avoid losing your deposit, please provide at least 48hrs notice in order to reschedule using the same deposit. In the unfortunate circumstance you are unable to give 48hrs notice, it will be considered a last minute cancellation and your deposit will be forfeited, regardless of circumstances.
If you no call no show, I will not be able to book you again.
Late policy
If you are 20+ minutes late to your appointment your deposit will be forfeited and you’ll be at risk of losing your appointment. If I can no longer tattoo you that day, a new deposit will be required to reschedule.
Rates
My minimum for a tattoo session is $250. This covers the first hour or anything under an hour, after that I reference a rate of $100-$150 per hour. My hourly rate starts when we begin the placement process or modifying flash. This includes the process of deciding between multiple designs if I'm printing or stenciling multiple flash pieces for you to try out.
Flash
I prefer to tattoo flash or modified flash as this feels most authentic to my style. There are two ways to book a flash appointment. You can let me know which design(s) you’re interested in before booking or you can choose flash on the day of your appointment. If you prefer to choose on the day I’ll need to know a general size range or if you’re wanting multiple pieces in one session. I have a flash book that you’ll have time to look through at the start of your appointment. My book has drawings from the last couple years and I'm always open to layering, collaging or modifying flash pieces. I would like to start moving away from repeating designs, but elements within designs may be repeated.
Customs
I don’t typically take on custom work but if you have a project in mind you feel would fit within my range of work you are welcome to submit a form. If I’m not interested in your suggestion I would still love to tattoo you so please let me know in your form if you would like to hear back from me for a flash appointment.
If I accept your custom I charge a $75 drawing fee that will be required to book your appointment in addition to the deposit. I do not send out drawings. I draw all customs at the time of the appointment and any minor changes can be made then. It is best to be as specific as possible about your idea or to be open minded if you are allowing me full creative freedom. Major changes such as shift in concept or changes that go over an hour of draw time will require an additional $75 drawing fee. If you are someone who is very particular, indecisive or likes to see the design in advance, I would not recommend booking a custom with me.
Studio Etiquette+Guest Policy
Please come alone to your appointment unless an aid is needed for medical/accessibility assistance.
Minors and pets are not allowed in the studio.
Touch ups
I want my work to looks its best! I offer one free touch-up within a year of the original appointment. The tattoo must be at least 2-3 months healed and showing signs of natural fading, not improper aftercare. To inquire for a touch up please email me at hellomaditatti@gmail.com with a clear photo of your tattoo in natural lighting along with your availability. In the unfortunate event you need to cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, a $50 nonrefundable deposit will be required in order to reschedule.
No shows will not be rescheduled.
