📌We require a deposit before making a reservation. This amount is included in the total cost of the work and covers the design creation. The deposit is included in the design fee and represents a commitment between you and the artist. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable once the booking is confirmed.
⭐️ The deposit counts toward the total tattoo cost. After the tattoo, the remaining balance will be collected, excluding the deposit.
⭐️ For those in Korea, if you have a Korean bank account, you can pay via bank transfer or cash. For those from other countries, we accept the remaining balance via PayPal or cash. You can choose either option, but we generally recommend paying in local cash for the following reasons.

📌 Custom designs are created in order of appointment dates. I usually send the draft for review and revision 3 days to 1 day before the appointment. One thorough revision is included, and if more than two revisions are needed or if you want major changes (over 80% of the design), an additional fee will apply.
⭐️Therefore, before sending the deposit and finalizing your booking, please make sure you have shared all of your design requirements in detail.

⭐️ If you have a condition that causes dry skin, such as eczema or diabetes, your skin may not hold the ink as easily, which can lead to fading and require multiple retouches. Please make sure to inform the artist when booking! Moisturizing frequently before your session can help minimize ink loss, so please apply lotion as often as possible! 🧴✨

⭐️ If you are considering a design with a lot of white ink, please make sure to read these precautions carefully before making your decision! 🌿
⭐️ White ink heals differently depending on your skin tone. White ink sits beneath your outer skin layer, making your natural skin tone more visible through it. Therefore, white ink will not heal as a pure, bright white; instead, it often appears as beige, soft yellow, or pale pink depending on your underlying skin tone. 🎨
⭐️ White ink is highly sensitive to UV rays. All tattoo inks can fade or discolor from UV exposure. This is especially true for white ink, so if it's placed in an area that gets a lot of sunlight, consistent long-term aftercare is essential. ☀️
⭐️ Does your skin scar or hyperpigment easily? If you have eczema or a skin type prone to hyperpigmentation, the tattooing process (which implants ink by creating micro-injuries to the skin) can trigger dark spots or pigmentation. In these cases, the healed white ink may actually look darker than your natural skin tone.

⏰ Session Duration ⭐️ Due to my tattooing style, which involves densely packing colors and using many bright shades, your skin may need frequent short breaks. Because of this, the session duration can become quite long depending on your skin type. 🌿
⭐️ I can only provide a rough estimate for the session time. The actual process can run several hours longer than expected due to your skin condition, stenciling time, consultation, aftercare instructions, and taking photos. Please make sure to schedule your day with plenty of free time! 🥺🤍
🧑⚕️ About the Tattooing Process ⭐️ A tattoo cannot look 100% identically perfect like a printed picture. The final healed colors vary from person to person depending on your unique skin tone and body chemistry. Furthermore, our bodies are not perfectly symmetrical, so tattoos may distort naturally according to the curves and movements of your body. Areas with thin skin or many wrinkles may also lose fine details, making a retouch inevitable. ✨
⭐️ Tattoos are permanent, and it is a natural process for them to age and change over the years alongside your skin. Once the ink settles completely into the skin (after 4–6 months), any slight toning down or loss of sharpness is a natural result of outer skin thickness changes and UV fading, not a tattoo defect. Therefore, any work done after this period is considered a new session and is not eligible for a free retouch. 🎨👁️
⭐️If you need to change your schedule, please note that you must contact us at least one week before your appointment. The schedule prior to the appointment may be adjusted depending on availability. You can reschedule once for free, provided there is an available date. ⭐️However, if you no-show on the day of the appointment without prior consultation (including being late for more than an hour without notice) or request a date change afterward, an additional rescheduling fee will be charged to adjust the date.

⭐️ Your condition on the tattoo day is very important. Make sure to get enough sleep and have a proper meal (especially on the day of your tattoo). Pain level, session duration, and color saturation can vary greatly depending on your condition.
⭐️ Lately, many clients skip meals and feel dizzy during or after the session. Please make sure to have a full meal before you come!! ⭐️ It’s also a good idea to bring some snacks to eat during the break!
⭐️ Hair removal and exfoliation of the tattoo area are essential! Keep the skin moisturized and hydrated. Drinking plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your tattoo is highly recommended. Dry skin may cause ink to fade.
⭐️ The studio is shared with other artists. Simple visits from friends are not allowed (average tattoo sessions last 4–5 hours, and waiting can be difficult😣💦 ).
👕 Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the tattoo area. Avoid tight clothing or accessories that press on the tattoo (long sleeves, long pants, straps, shoes, etc.). Light-colored clothing may get ink stains. Please wear dark-colored short sleeves, a shirt, removable clothing, or innerwear (halter neck, tank top) so that the area being tattooed is easily accessible and to prevent ink stains on your clothes! 👖🙆♀️
⭐️ For one month after the tattoo, treat it like a wound. Swelling, bruising, or heat rash may occur. Avoid unsanitary places such as gyms, saunas, pools, water parks, or the sea to prevent infection. Please keep these precautions in mind when booking your session.
⭐️Sun protection is essential during the healing process. To prevent the wounded area from scarring darkly and the colors from turning dull, please be extra careful not to expose it to too much sunlight. However, until the peeling process is completely finished, do not apply sunscreen to avoid irritating the skin; instead, please protect it by covering it with clothing.
