AFTER-CARE DERM SHEILD
Derm Shield Aftercare Instructions
Leave the Derm Shield adhesive bandage on for 4–5 days.
When it's time to remove the bandage, do so in the shower. Peel it off slowly—do not rip it off like a Band-Aid, as this can cause unnecessary pain, bruising, and prolong healing.
Once the bandage is removed, gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial hand soap to remove any residue or buildup.
Pat dry with a clean paper towel—avoid using cloth towels, as they can harbor bacteria.
Moisturize with a thin layer of Hustle Butter, coconut oil, shea butter, or jojoba oil. Do not use Aquaphor or Vaseline, as they can trap bacteria and prevent proper healing.
Continue cleaning and moisturizing twice a day for two weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed.
Important: Always clean your tattoo properly before applying moisturizer.

Apply a thin layer of Hustle Butter, coconut oil, shea butter, or jojoba oil to keep the tattoo moisturized. Do not use Aquaphor or Vaseline.
Continue cleaning and moisturizing twice a day for two weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed.

WHY I DON'T RECOMMEND AQUAPHOR/VASELINE
I don’t recommend using Aquaphor or Vaseline because it is a thick, petroleum-based ointment that can clog pores and restrict oxygen flow to the healing skin, potentially leading to longer healing times, irritation, and even infection. The sticky texture of petroleum can attract dirt and debris, increasing the risk of contamination. In rare cases, it may also pull ink from the tattoo, resulting in a less vibrant final outcome.

I look forward to creating something special for you!

Can I bring artwork from another artist for you to tattoo on me?
Yes, but please keep in mind that I will not directly copy another artist's work. I can use the artwork as inspiration to create a unique design, but I will not replicate it exactly.
-
How does the deposit agreement work?
Clients booking with me are required to pay a deposit at the end of their consultation, ranging from $100 to $500, depending on the design time and size of the requested tattoo.
This deposit will be applied to the final cost of the tattoo upon completion.
Please note that deposits are non-refundable. If a client no-calls/no-shows, the deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to reschedule.
Clients are allowed two reschedules with at least 48 hours' notice. If a third reschedule is needed, a new deposit will be required to book a new appointment.

HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
The cost of your tattoo will depend on several factors, including size, level of detail, placement, and rendering. Once all these details are considered, I can provide an estimate.
Please keep in mind that estimates are not exact—various factors can affect the final price. Treat the estimate as a general guideline rather than a fixed cost.
My rate is $175 per hour.
