Q & A
Will you design my tattoo?
I will happily create a design for you! Checkout how to book an appointment with Annie for more details.
Will you create a design for someone else to tattoo?
Nope, sorry!
Can you just draw something and I’ll get it tattooed if I like it?
I draw all the time! Check out my ‘Wanna do’ gallery or see my Instagram for the latest designs that are up-for-grabs.
Do you take walk-in’s/same day appointments?
Currently no. Annie's studio is small and private, it is designed for appointment based work only. However, if you ask and there is a scheduling opportunity to book-in quickly, Annie is happy to make that happen whenever possible.
If you are in a hurry to get work done, a rush fee can be applied.
When can I see my design?
Artwork for tattoos will be ready directly before the appointment, small changes can be made in-person during design placement and stenciling.
Annie will never email designs.
Vegan inks?
YES! All of Annie's inks are vegan.
Are your other products vegan?
Ointments and skin cleaning products are indeed vegan!
However sanitation drapes and plastic barriers are not. Annie is working to convert all her tools and products to being as cruelty free, eco-friendly, and sustainable as possible.
Does Annie use numbing cream during the tattoo procedure?
No. Annie uses traditional/known methods for soothing angry skin during the tattoo but nothing that would be considered a topical anesthetic cream or numbing agent.
Can I DM you?
Yes! I am happy to talk to you casually on social media.... HOWEVER, pricing, design consultations, tattoo inquires, appointment scheduling, after care considerations, and all other tattoo related questions I will likely refer your to my website and/or I will ask you to email me directly so we can have a real conversation about it.
Can I pay in advance?
Aside form the deposit to secure your appointment date, No. Annie would like you to pay on the day of your appointment before you go home.
What if I change my mind about the design or placement?
Please let Annie know with PLENTY of notice. If your new idea requires more or less time to draw and tattoo please be aware this may required your appointment to be rescheduled. If your idea has changed to something Annie is not comfortable doing then cancellation will be discussed.
