Let’s find you an answer!
SHOP
How can I find out when products drop besides your socials?
Simply join the shop register! You’ll get to find out the name, theme, and release date for collections before those not on the register! You are more than welcome to join as many registers you’d like on the register page :)
How long do your goods take to get to me?
It varies… Barring me being away from my studio or other events, I aim to ship in batches every second Tuesday. From there, it depends on where you live and the shipping option you selected. As a general rule of thumb, if you live in America or Canada, it may take 1 to 10 business days. If you live in Europe, it may take 5 to 15 business days. If you live in Australia or somewhere else in the world, it may take 10 to 20 business days.
Can you make this design into a print?
No. But maybe? If you’re only after a design as a print, then no. You’ll have to wait for it to potentially be in a print collection. If you want to see a design in a print collection, then please let me know via the inquiries page or make some noise in the comments of the post! With that said, if you’re commissioning me to create a design, you’ll have the option for it to be made into a print!
Can I still get a limited edition print even though they're sold out?
No. That wouldn’t make them very limited! If you’ve collected Magic: The Gathering cards or similar stuff, you know how much reprints suck when they just reuse old art on a new product, especially if there was a promise of it being limited in production. Please consider the standard edition variant of the print, otherwise I hope you can secure a limited edition print that you like in the future!
COMMISSIONS
Do you do commissions of real people or subjects from media?
Maybe! In terms of real people, if you know them personally and they are happy to be depicted, then we’re good! Do note that you are responsible for any potential issues that may arise if that person is not happy with being depicted. Otherwise, the person will have to be dead for at least 200 years along with me feeling comfortable creating the work.
As for subjects from media, I don’t typically take that sort of work on as it may be a copyright liability. I may be willing to do my own take on a subject depending on whether the creator has made a public statement on this matter.
Can I receive my commission in “X” file format?
No, but maybe? All of my work is provided as either a .png or .pdf by default, but if you request the design in a file format that my tools natively support and I can personally and easily provide it to you without any issues, then I can try to assist!
Can I commission a design and get another artist to tattoo it?
No. I used to allow this, but I’ve since stopped offering the service due to the liability of other artists promoting my design as their own even with explicit legal safeguards.
You’re more than welcome to still commission a design for your personal enjoyment though! If you're interested, please commission a design through the commissions page.
Can I see my commissioned design early and provide feedback?
No. When you work with me, you’re trusting me with my artistic vision to create a design just for you. Designs are only revealed when they are complete. If I reach out to you to get feedback (which I often do), then you may of course provide feedback!
TATTOOS
How do I book in for my free touch-up?
Simple! Assuming you've gotten the tattoo less than 6 months ago and haven’t negatively impacted it, please reach out via the inquire page and we'll go from there.
How can I find out when you are next coming to “X”?
By joining the my register! You’ll get to find out when I’m coming to your city and have the chance to book in before those not on the register! You are more than welcome to join as many registers you’d like on the register page :)
What do I do if I want a to secure a design but can’t get it yet?
That’s okay! Everyone has things happening all the time, so I allow my clients to put down a 30% deposit to secure a design, date, and time up to three months in advance.
Do you do tattoos of real people or subjects from media?
Maybe! The same answer for “Do you do commissions of real people or subjects from media?” applies here too: “In terms of real people, if you know them personally and reasonably believe they’d be happy to be depicted, then we’re good! Otherwise, the person will have to be dead for at least 200 years and I feel comfortable creating the work.
As for subjects from media, I don’t typically take that sort of work on as it may be a copyright liability. I may be willing to do my own take on a subject depending on whether the creator has made a public statement on this matter.”
Can I get one of your designs tattooed by another artist?
No. You are vehemently prohibited from using my designs for a tattoo.
While other artists may be laissez-faire with their work, I am not. I have exercised my right to protect my work against artists, clients, and others domestically and internationally, and I will continue to do so.
Can I buy a design and get another artist to tattoo it?
No. The same answer for “Can I commission a design and get another artist to tattoo it?” applies here too: “I used to allow this, but I’ve since stopped offering the service due to the liability of other artists promoting my design as their own even with explicit legal safeguards.
You’re more than welcome to still commission a design for your personal enjoyment though! If you're interested, please commission a design through the commission page.”
Can I see my custom design early and provide feedback?
No. The same answer for “Can I see my commissioned design early and provide feedback?” applies here too: “When you work with me, you’re trusting me with my artistic vision to create a design just for you. Designs are only revealed when they are complete. If I reach out to you to get feedback (which I often do), then you may of course provide feedback!”
Can I have this design you’ve already tattooed?
No. When I create a design, I make it in mind that it will be for a single person, not multiple. People often get excited about the unique design and show their friends and family, and it becomes a part of them. It doesn’t sit right with me to rob them of that. Good news is that I sometimes create a few unique versions of a design to choose from, and I happy to create a custom design that has a similar feeling if required!
Can I use numbing products for my session?
No. While numbing products may help mitigate pain, in my experience they do more harm than good. They may make the tattooing and healing process longer and more difficult, so it’s less risky to just avoid it outright.
MISCELLANEOUS
Why do some of your designs look more detailed than others?
Great question! Designs that are intended to be tattoos will usually feature less detail compared to my commissioned designs. In particular, faces, armour, and other aspects that require fine detail are simplified. I do this because tattoos naturally blur over time as they heal, so I account for that with my designs by providing space for the body to recover. I want my tattoos to look great years down the line, not just on the day the tattoo is done and the photos are taken.
How can I report someone using your work unauthorised?
Thank you for your concern! Please report all suspected cases of unauthorized use (including theft) via the report page and my team and I will investigate the matter.
Can I read up your terms and conditions?
Yes! You can read up my terms and conditions for commissions and tattoos on my T&C page. You’ll also be prompted my terms and conditions when ordering a commission or booking a session for a tattoo.
Do you accept Afterpay and Klarna?
Yes! I accept both Afterpay and Klarna, but I’ve found it can be temperamental. If you put in an order or booking online with Afterpay or Klarna and got a confirmation email, you’re set! However, I highly recommend having enough money on you (cash or card) if you’re coming in for a tattoo just in case things don’t go as planned.
Can I re-post your work?
Maybe. Any of my work that is posted on “art sharing platforms" like Pinterest without permission will always be met with copyright takedowns, even if credit is provided. However, if the post falls under fair use, then it will not be met with a copyright takedown, provided credit is clearly provided. An example of fair use would be a post where there is clear intent and a reasonable effort made to invoke a discussion about engraving artists, which happens to feature my work.
Can I use your design for “X” ?
No. You are vehemently prohibited from using my designs for any use cases without my explicit approval.
While other artists may be laissez-faire with their work, I am not. I have exercised my right to protect my work against artists, clients, and others domestically and internationally, and I will continue to do so.
With all the seriousness aside, there’s a lot of nuance in life! It doesn’t hurt to ask, so feel free to reach out via the inquire page to request approval for using my art in specific circumstances.
Do you do consultations?
No. I’ve had at best neutral experiences with consultations. More often than not, a simple email exchange would reap a lot more rewards, with the benefit of no travel time.
Can you match another artist’s price?
No. If you reached out to an artist and they appreciated you enough to take time out of their day to work with you, you should appreciate their effort and work with them.
Do you do “X”?
No. Well, it’d be a no if you are asking if I do any of the following subjects:
Tattoos of designs that aren’t my own.
Cover-up tattoos.
Coloured tattoos or commissions.
Other styles or themes for tattoos or commissions.
Script, shapes, or patterns for tattoos or commissions.
I still have a question you haven’t answered!
Oh no! If you still haven’t found an answer to your question, please feel free to use the inquire page and we’ll chat :)
