JESS’S BOOKING INFO:
How The Booking Process Works:
Jess opens her booking form a few times a year to accept new clients and project inquiries for a selected 3-4 month period of time. When her books are open for custom inquiries, she will have the link available on this website and sent directly to her mailing list subscribers.
Appointments are typically booked for half day or full day sessions and priced at a flat rate (see below).
Jess will have pre drawn flash designs available at all times for clients to book. These flash designs can be requested at any time whether her booking form is open or not. Pre drawn flash designs are designs and styles that Jess really wants to focus on tattooing and are to be tattooed “as is”. These designs will be custom tailored to fit each individuals body but no major changes are to be made to these designs.

RESCHEDULE/Cancellation/late POLICY:
As a business, part of our success depends on mutual respect of time. Remembering and respecting the appointment date and time is your responsibility.
Please give at least 5 days notice if you need to reschedule for any reason — with adequate notice, you will be able to carry your booking fee with you to your rescheduled date in the event that you need to move your appointment.
You may carry over your booking fee for one reschedule appointment as long as it has been rescheduled with more than 5 days notice. All further rescheduled will require a new deposit.
If you are going to be late or cannot make your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact Jess via email or the booking app as soon as possible. We get it, things happen - just let us know.
Consultation/Design Process:
Jess requires consultations for most tattoo appointments — these are done either in person or over Zoom video chat. During consultations, Jess and her client discuss the design in detail and get clarity on the project they will be working on. From there, if Jess has any questions about the design after meeting with a client for their consultation, she will reach out with questions for more clarification.
The design process is based a lot on the trust her clients have in her style and her ability to listen to their input to create a unique design for them to the best of her ability. Any minor changes to designs can be made the day of the appointment. Jess does not regularly send photos of drawings to clients before their scheduled appointments but she is happy to show what she has drawn up the day or two before if requested.
