What to expect before and on your appointment day and how to prepare.

.

Thank you booking with me!

•Now that you’re booked, you won’t hear from me until the SUNDAY before your appointment, even if it’s only the day before your appointment. (Unless this is a major coverup and we need a little more back- and forth consulting)

‍ ‍Don’t be nervous!‍ ‍

This is normal procedure for every single design I do.

I confirm appointments and communicate about design on Sunday (sometimes I will touch base a day or 2 early).

•I will send you my concept layout for approval before I finalize your stencil drawing.

*If your appointment is on a Weds/Thurs/ or Saturday, I will draw for you on Tuesdays.

‍ ‍-Trust the process!-

TATTOO DAY‍ ‍

•Whether a full day or half day session, be sure to get a solid nights sleep and eat a good breakfast in the morning.

•To avoid razor burn or cuts, avoid pre-shaving. I’ll take care of it during our prep time.

•Charge your phone, pack up some sugary snacks & water. (Keeping your sugars up during a longer session is key to last! Your body is going through so much while you’re just trying to sit still)

If you’d like, bring a CLEAN blanket with you to snuggle up with. I do provide plenty of pillows for comfort. (Positioning is usually more painful than the actual tattoo)

You can bring a friend if you’d like, just remember it’s a long day usually!

‍ ‍DIRECTIONS

•My new shop address is 1660 Town Line Road Craftsbury Common, VT.

(It’s a dirt road off of Route 14- road sign is slightly tilted.)

•Maps will tell you it’s in the town of Albany because the road is part of both towns.

Stay left at the first “Y”, I have a little sign pointing in the direction.

Follow the road ALL the way to the end. My house is the dead end of the road.

The road will open up at the very end to another “Y”. Left is Martin Auto, and straight down is my home studio.

STAY STRAIGHT down the hill.

There is another little sign that looks like it’s pointing left but it’s pointing down the hill - that is my driveway.

I currently do not have a walkway or stairs into my studio, just a little backyard hill through the grass.

If this access may be hard for you, let me know ahead of time and I will plan you coming through the house if need be.

Hopefully by winter a walkway is in place.

See you soon!
