Brow Specialist
& FINE LINE body TATTOoing

Ssingle needle tattooing is a highly specialized and cutting-edge technique that delivers flawless finish and perfect definition. Single needle tattoos are characterized by the high levels of detail that can be achieved in comparatively small designs. Modern, single needle tattoos use an approach that is reminiscent of pencil drawings, with airbrush-like, smooth shading and hyper-realistic details. The precise and detailed appearance is polar opposite to the usual bold lines and bright colors found in the traditional tattoos.

I am immensely grateful for the volume of interest and inquires received. However, being only one artist with a fully booked schedule, in a private studio without a receptionist or assistant; I am unable to answer emails or direct messages via text, Instagram or Facebook. Questions that are sent via email, that can be answered by looking through my Frequently Asked Question(s on either my website or Instagram) will not be prioritized. All other Emails and Voicemails will be answered in the order they were received. Please note, that I do not respond to emails with inspirational photos for your tattoo appointment unless I have a question regarding the subject matter. Thank you!

My shop minimum is $250 + GST and tattoos are priced per piece. This means that the cost is determined by the intricacy, size, and design complexity of the tattoo. To help manage expectations, here are some general price ranges: On average, clients are quoted around $500 + GST. Tattoos in my portfolio generally fall between $300 - $800 per tattoo, before GST. Heavily intricate designs or larger-scale tattoos, such as floral hip pieces, arm sleeves, or animal portraits, or multiple tattoo requests will require a larger investment. Those who submit a request for 3 or more medium sized, detailed pieces can expect a quote of $2,000< before GST.

The preparation required to open my books and carefully review each submission is a detailed and intentional process. By charging a submission fee, I’m able to dedicate the time, effort, and attention necessary to thoughtfully evaluate each client's unique vision and needs before crafting a personalized quote. This fee will be credited toward the final cost of your tattoo, becoming part of your overall investment in bringing your vision to life. Since the fee covers the comprehensive work involved in reviewing and preparing for potential projects, it is non-refundable. The only exception is if your submission does not align with my artistic vision and I choose not to book the project, in which case the fee will be refunded. This policy ensures fairness and reflects the value of the careful consideration I give to every request. Submission Fee Policy Review Non-Refundable Submission Fee Submission Fees are non-refundable if you decide not to proceed with booking an appointment after receiving your quote.

Even with parental consent, all clients must be 18 years or older to get tattooed. If you are 17 years old, you may book a future appointment as long as you are 18 years of age at the time of your appointment. A piece of Government ID is required to prove age.

Although perceptions of pain are highly subjective, single needle tattoos are known to be considerable more comfortable than traditional tattooing! This is because there is only 1 needle entering the skin to create a thin crisp line; where as traditional tattooing uses 3-20+ needles to create bolder lines.

Fine line tattoos are just as permanent as traditional tattooing. However, due to the delicate technique - the final result will appear softer and more subtle.

The precision involved in the artistic style involved with this tattoo lies not only with the artist, but also the tools used to achieve a masterful result. Thin lines and accompanying details require tattoo artists to use a single needle. This allows for enhanced precision and space for details when it comes to the tattooing process. Single Needle tattooing requires a very steady and accurate hand. Unfamiliar artists might be hesitant because this type of tattoo leaves little room for error. However, I specialize in Nanoblading which involves tattooing single hairstrokes within the eyebrow and used these skills to transition into my body tattooing service. It feels like second nature to me!

When you schedule a new tattoo appointment, touch-ups on previous tattoos are complimentary during that session. To take advantage of this, please wait until my schedule reopens and submit a form. On the form, provide details of your new tattoo idea and mention your request for a touch-up in the notes section. Please note that touchups are not complimentary if the tattoo has undergone any trauma due to physical injury. If you prefer to book a touch-up appointment only, a fee will be required to cover operational costs. To proceed with this option, please book a Scheduled Telephone Call online. We will arrange your appointment during this call. A NOTE ON HANDS, FEET AND OTHER FLEXION POINTS: The healed results on body parts that move a great deal or have extra rough and thin skin, are less predictable than on more stable areas of the body. Therefore, they have a much higher probability of fading and/or uneven healing. Many tattoo artists refuse to tattoo these areas for this reason. If you choose to proceed with having the following areas tattooed, you understand that you may experience fading and/or uneven healing. Therefore, areas such as the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, ankles, necks, and other flexion points may require multiple touchups over many years to maintain your desired results.

Absolutely! I have two chairs in my waiting area for any guests you wish to bring to your appointment.

I will not tattoo the palms of the hand, bottom of the feet, inside the lip or on the face.

I do not tattoo coverups, however I am happy to add on or work around existing tattoos!

Nanoblading, is a semi-permanent, cosmetic tattoo treatment for eyebrows that uses a combination of ultra-fine nano needles and pigment to mimic the diameter and dimension of a real hair stroke in the skin.

Despite the name, neither nanoblading nor microblading uses a blade. Both use needles to penetrate the skin, but nanoblading involves thinner needles to create the finest hair strokes with the least amount of skin trauma. Nanoblading uses a digital machine to implant pigment rather than manually cutting into the skin’s dermis layer. It has minimal to no bleeding, faster healing time, minimal scabbing, longer lasting results, and is suitable for all skin types. Nanoblading also provides an ultra-realistic effect by creating the illusion of texture, depth and movement. Soft shading can also easily be layered to mimic density, creating the illusion of fuller brows; a result that cannot be achieved or replicated by microblading. Nano is the newest technology in the permanent makeup industry, and therefore obtains cleaner, precise results, through gentle application.

It removes the need for daily makeup application - saving you time and energy It’s ideal for those who are active and constantly sweating or rubbing off their makeup. It’s suitable for those who have allergies to traditional makeup. It can help with alopecia or loss of brow hair due to chemotherapy. It can help restore over-plucked brows

Nanoblading is a semi-permanent treatment that normally lasts 1 to 2.5 years depending on lifestyle, skin type and aftercare. Touch-up appointments are available throughout the year to maintain the desired result.

The majority of clients will require 2 sessions to perfect their desired result. After achieving your desired brow, an annual touchup is recommended to maintain results.

The average treatment runs from 2.5 to 4 hours.

Although perceptions of pain are highly subjective, I make every effort to ensure you remain comfortable for the duration of your appointment. I use topical anesthetic cream and gel to numb the treated area before and during the procedure. I can also use an elevating knee wedge to help reduce back strain and pressure. Please keep in mind, if you are on your menstrual cycle, you may be more sensitive to pain.

Brow Lamination is an affordable and non-invasive three-step brow treatment that relaxes your brow hairs, resulting in a versatile brow that can be worn full and fluffy or sleak and tamed. Lamination will give your brows a set, uniform shape by positioning the hairs to hide small gaps and give the illusion of major hair growth. Brow Lamination is an amazing solution to misshapen or thinning brows, and a great alternative to nanoblading.

Your brow lamination should last up to 2 months, but you can prolong the look with brow gel or wax until your next appointment.

Brow Lamination is beneficial for both men and women who have coarse, stubborn brow hairs that do not lay flat or in the same direction or for those who want a temporary alternative to nanoblading.
