FAQ
2
How much will my tattoo cost?
It isn’t possible to know a price until Anna has gone over your booking request form. Anna prices by the piece (not by the hour) based on size, placement and complexity. If your request is accepted she will give you an accurate price estimate before booking.
6
Do I need a deposit?
Yes, deposits are required to book an appointment. The deposit amount varies depending on the value of the tattoo. Anna will tell you the deposit amount before booking. Once you choose an appointment date, Anna will send you an invoice for the deposit which can be paid online. The deposit must be paid within 2 weeks, or your appointment may be cancelled.
Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE and will come off the total cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be deducted from the last session.
5
Are consultations free?
Yes! If you wish to discuss your ideas and ask questions, you can do so with no charge. If after the consultation you do decide to book an appointment, a deposit will be required for booking.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancellation will result in the loss of your deposit. However, if you wish to reschedule you can contact Anna via email to let her know. You must do this 72hrs or sooner before your appointment. If you do, your deposit will still be valid and can be used for the rescheduled date. If you do not let Anna know in advance, or you do not contact her at all, your deposit will be forfeit. If you reschedule multiple times, your deposit may be forfeit. Deposits cover one reschedule.
Exceptions may be acceptable in case of an emergency.
7
When will I see my design?
Due to a high volume of work, Anna completes designs the day prior to appointments to be ready to be viewed on appointment days. She does not send designs in advance! Minor changes can be accommodated the day of the appointment. If there are major design changes needed, your appointment may be rescheduled at Anna’s discretion. If this happens, deposits will not be forfeited and will still be available to use for a new date, unless the changes are due to a last minute decision that is different from the form filled out at the booking request.

Where is the studio?
Anna works in a private studio located at 4-540 Clarke Rd in London, ON. She is by appointment only, please schedule a date and time before arriving at the studio.
9
Do you offer free touch ups?
Yes! Anna does offer one free touch up within one year of completing the tattoo. Additional touch ups or touch ups from over one year may be subject to a minimum charge.
A NOTE ON AI AND MY POLICIES AROUND IT
As generative AI becomes more popular, more people are using it to create tattoo designs. AI generators cannot
* Understand aging
* Understand movement, placement and muscle structure
* Understand the physical limits of the craft and what is possible in real life
* Understand layout and design that compliments the body
When you use AI, it is designed to respond to your prompt. It is working with pixels and flat images. We are working with ink, skin, needles and real human bodies.
I understand using AI to brainstorm a concept, but beyond that it creates more problems and results in artists and clients having very different expectations for the design.
Because of this, I am no longer accepting AI generated references. If you choose to submit one, you will be asked to find additional real photo references before we continue the project. If a concept cannot be agreed upon, it may result in loss of deposit as a lot of time goes into planning a concept for your tattoo that we cannot get back.
