    • A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment. Please send to @chanmeetattoo on Venmo; for the reason, put the date of your appointment. I.e “7/15”. The deposit goes towards the final cost of the tattoo! Failure to send a deposit forfeits your appointment.

    • I only accept cash payments effective January 2025. I will provide a price estimate before your appointment, please ask if you are unsure. If significant changes are made the day of your appointment, price differences can be sent on Venmo.

    • Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Please let me know if you are running late to your appointment. If I don’t hear from you within 15 mins of the start time, your appointment will be canceled. I understand things happen and I am very flexible, please just communicate! No shows will not be allowed to schedule future appointments.

    • My work days are Thursdays-Sundays. Any correspondence about tattoos will be on those days, via email or text. I do not prefer Instagram DM’s, as messages often get lost with technical issues.

    • Please contact me about your custom tattoo idea and include: subject matter, size, placement, style preference, reference photos. The more info, the better!

    • I take walk-in appointments Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 1-6pm. Text me for availability!

    • Second skin bandage- keep on for at least 24 hours. You may leave it on for up to 3 or 4 days. It is normal for ink and plasma to pool inside of the bandage. Remove under warm running water and wash with a fragrance free liquid soap (I personally use Dial Liquid Gold Soap). Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a thin layer of fragrance free lotion (I like Lubriderm. Aquafor is okay so long as it is used sparingly).

    • Standard soaking bandage- keep on for at least a few hours, ideally overnight. Wash and moisturize as described above.

    • Avoid sun exposure to the tattooed area. Cover tattoo with loose clothing. No sunscreen or fragrance products until the tattoo is fully healed.

    • Do not soak the tattoo in water, no baths or swimming for at least two weeks (a second skin bandage is not a proper substitute).

    • Keep your tattoo clean, wash and moisturize twice a day for two weeks post appointment.

    • As tattoos heal they become dry, flaky, and scabby. Do not pick the tattoo as it can majorly affect the healing process and cause ink fall out.

    • Some tattoos take longer than others to heal depending on placement, size, and ink saturation. It's important to monitor your tattoo and continue proper aftercare until it is completely healed.
