X Information about our fine line tattooing services:

LINE & LORE | FINE LINE TATTOO ARTIST 

 

 Everybody deserves a space to get tattooed where they feel safe, welcoming and inclusive. I am available to answer any questions or concerns through my email and DM.  

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BOOK:

 

• I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18! I do check ID on clients who appear younger.

• Things I don't tattoo; first-time tattoos on the ribs, insides of fingers, palms, face, stomach.

• I do not do tattoo colour work. Only black, diluted black, red and white. I am not interested in working with colour, though there are many talented artists in Okotoks/Calgary that are colour artists!

• My specialty is small (‘tiny tats’) and fine-line tattoos. Due to the nature of my tattoos, I do not do cover ups.

• I currently do not charge by the hour but by the piece.

• Tattoos are by appointment only and I do not take walk-ins.

 

WHEN CONTACTING ME INQUIRIES MUST INCLUDE:

- Picture examples.
- Details of your tattoo design:  Specific font names, initials, names, types of ink colours (black, white, red, diluted black) etc. (BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE)
- Size (in inches)
- How many tattoos and where you would like them. 

 

Please allow me at least 24-48 hours to reply to your inquiry.

Any revisions that are requested require 48 hours notice prior to your appointment.

- I currently do not charge by the hour but by the piece. Feel free to submit as many tattoos as you'd like. You'll receive a price breakdown when I reply to your inquiry!
