No charge

consultations

Consultations are a scheduled time for us to sit down 1:1 to discuss your tattoo idea.

EVERYONE NEEDS A CONSULTATION

It’s the very vital first step into getting some new ink. This is my time to gather information so I can accurately create a piece custom to you.

This is also a great time for you to ask any questions about myself as an artist, procedures, preparation, etc..

Booking an

appointment

Once your consultation is complete we are able to move forward to booking your appointment! We will review studio and deposit policies before scheduling the big day.

Deposits aren’t all about the money, it’s a mutual commitment that provides security for both client and artist. As my client, you are making a commitment to follow through with the project you have commissioned me to do. As the artist, the deposit secures your appointment date meaning that I have committed myself, and dedicated my time, to the project.

Deposits vary based on project

Studio

etiquette

Tattoo booths are for the artist and client, and possibly one additional person. This person will be required to follow the same safety rules and expectations we ask of you.

  • Children are NOT allowed in the tattoo area and cannot be left unattended in the gallery.

  • Come showered and dress comfortably

    • Wear clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed, without having to be rolled or held in place. Warm, comfortable layers are recommended. We can provide nipple covers for those who may need them for the area getting tattooed.

  • Keep your schedule open and avoid scheduling activities immediately after your appointment, in case it runs longer than expected.

  • I encourage bringing an item of entertainment (headphones for a movie/show, handheld videogames, book, etc.)

  • Avoid using numbing creams on your skin.

    • They can interfere with the tattooing process and healing.

  • Feel free to bring snacks and drinks

After care

Always wash your hands before handling your fresh tattoo

With warm water, use an unscented antibacterial soap to wash your tattoo. Use your hand to gently massage your tattoo clean.

Use good judgement to decide if you need to repeat the wash. 

Pat dry with clean paper towel(s).

With clean hands apply a small amount of ointment by gently massaging (in small circular motions) over the area of tattooed skin. 

To reduce chances of infection and/or scarring, avoid the following for 6 weeks:

  • Tanning (chemically or other) 

  • Submerging in water

  • Tight Clothes

  • Excessive rubbing, scratching, close shaving, exfoliation

There are so many factors that can contaminate and cause infection in your tattoo. Some things to mindfully avoid:

  • Pet dander/hair

  • Dirty sheets/clothes

  • Sweat 

For any further questions or concerns, please contact me at creatingkrystal@gmail.com

If you suspect your tattoo has become infected, contact a doctor.
