INTUITIVE TATTOOS

What is an intuitive tattoo?  This is a tattoo that is channeled intuitively for you, with intentions to assist you on your earthly and spiritual journey.  These designs are created by tuning into my connection with ancestors and spirit, utilizing my gift of bringing visions into the tangible.  This helps bring to life a design that will be specifically for you, to help guide you with something you may be going through, or something to amplify your intention or emotion and you on your path.

COVID-19

The following guidelines are in place for appointments:

  • I sanitize before and after each appointment, and frequently throughout the day, to ensure the safest environment possible for your appointment.
  • Masks are optional in the studio. Please let me know if you would prefer that masks are worn during your appointment.
  • You may bring one support person to your appointment, however they will have to remain at the front waiting area of our studio.  The treatment areas are for clients and staff only.

Thank you for your understanding of my studio policies.  I appreciate your cooperation and respect.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I work out of Dalaga Beauty & Wellness, an inclusive studio dedicated to decolonizing beauty standards and encouraging all forms of self care and wellness.  We are located at 4158 Main Street in what is now known as Vancouver.

 

WHAT DAYS DO YOU WORK?

I am only available to tattoo on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 6pm. Under special circumstances, I can also accommodate Saturday appointments between 12pm – 4pm.  As a working mother and artist entrepreneur, I have lot on my plate.  Tattooing is also very hard on the body, and a lot of time is also set aside for drawing/designing and admin, as I wear all the hats in my very small business. I appreciate your understanding of my very human limitations.

CAN I PURCHASE ONE OF YOUR DESIGNS FOR ANOTHER ARTIST TO TATTOO ON ME?

I only design tattoos that I will be inking onto the body myself. I do not give permission for any other tattoo artist to use any of my custom or flash designs. Please do not copy any of my flash our custom designs as they have deep personal and cultural significance, some of which are sacred ancestral markings.

HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

Appointments can be requested using this form. Please do not DM me on on Facebook or Instagram to book an appointment or request pricing.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

I encourage you to set your intentions for your tattoo. Setting your intentions is so extremely important as this is what will create the outcome! Some intentions you may have could be and/or relating to: any types of healing (emotional, spiritual, physical) purification, blockages, expansion of consciousness, connection with the divine feminine, embracing something, protection talismans, and so on! (the list is unlimited and endless as it is specific to absolutely anything you are hoping to set).

Eat a good breakfast, hydrate yourself and get plenty of rest. When dressing for the appointment keep in mind the location of your tattoo – wear loose fitting comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the intended area.

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?

Flash Tattoos are charged per piece, based on size and placement.

Custom Designs may either be charged a flat rate or at my hourly rate, depending on the nature of the piece. My current hourly rate is $180 per hour.

 

DO I NEED TO PAY A DEPOSIT?

A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your booking. You will see the required deposit amount on the estimate you receive from me if your tattoo booking request has been accepted.  Your deposit will be applied to your final balance.    

Please be aware that no drawings will be started or appointment booked until the deposit has been made.

 

WILL YOU TATTOO A DESIGN I BRING IN?

As an artist who respects other artists, I will not duplicate another tattoo or tattoo artwork created by someone else.  

I only tattoo designs that I have created myself.

 

CAN I SEE THE TATTOO DESIGN BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

No artwork will be shown via email or social media prior to your appointment.  As my designs are intuitively channeled, minimal changes may be made. Please keep in mind that these types of tattoos are not for everybody, as it requires a high level of trust and being comfortable with and open to the unknown.

 

HOW DO FLASH DESIGNS WORK?

I release Flash Designs on my Instagram account.  Each design will only be tattooed once (unless I’ve specified that it’s repeatable flash), so once it’s booked, it’s gone.  

A Flash Design isn’t considered booked until your deposit has been received.

 

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT?

If you cannot make your appointment, I require at least 48 hours notice to reschedule you. Your desposit will be applied to your new appointment, within a 3 week period.  If you need to reschedule past the 3 week period or reschedule more than once, your appointment will be considered as cancelled and a $100.00 rebooking fee will be required to book a new date.

Appointment cancellations will not be issued a refund as all deposits are non-refundable.

 

IS THERE ANYONE YOU WON’T TATTOO?

I will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18 (even with parental consent), pregnant people, hemophiliacs, anyone taking blood thinners or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
