Deposits must be paid via Cash App. I accept cash only for the final tattoo payment. Let me know if you need to make other arrangements ahead of time.

Flash is priced per piece. I have a $300 minimum.

Customs are now priced by half days/full days. Half days are appointments that are around 3 hrs or less and are $600. Full days are anything 4-6 hours and are $1200. Due to back pain, I’m not tattooing more than 6 hrs per session.

Government-issued I.D.s such as State Drivers License, Photo I.D., Passports, etc are acceptable.

I require a $100 deposit to hold your appointment (for flash under $500). Tattoos that are $500 or more require a higher deposit, This will go towards your final tattoo cost. The deposit must be paid in order to book the appointment. Deposits are non-refundable.

Please email me as soon as possible (bae@ahvocadotattoo.com). If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be charged an extra hourly at $175/hr. If an appointment is not rescheduled before the 48hr mark, you will need to pay another deposit for the rescheduled session. Deposits are non-refundable.

It is appreciated that all allergies/medical conditions are discussed before the appointment so I am able to accommodate them. If you are not able to notify me before the appointment, there are questions on the tattoo consent form regarding any allergies/medical conditions.

I take customs on a case-by-case basis and limit the amount I take each month. If I do not choose yours I will try to help find shops that may be interested in that idea. If you are inquiring about custom flash, please have your references ready. I need to know the size and location of the tattoo. All deposits need to be paid before I create your design. When I price for your tattoo, custom drawing time will be included in that price. send out designs usually within 48 hrs of the appointment. Customs must be approved prior to appointment.

All tattoos that are done by me get a free touch-up. You have 6 months to book the free touch up. No deposits are needed to book a touch-up, you just need to wait 2 weeks between sessions.

Congrats on your new piece of art! Your body is probably pretty tired, so make sure to rest, snack, and drink plenty of fluids. Please keep your bandage on for at least three hours. When you get home, remove the bandage and wash the area with unscented antibacterial liquid soap (I recommend Dial Liquid Gold). Allow the tattoo to air dry, and then add a small amount of unscented, mild moisturizer (no facial moisturizers, I recommend Aquaphor, Lubriderm, or Cetaphil). Leave the area uncovered. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Please repeat this process twice a day (once in the AM and once in the PM) for about 2 weeks. If you have pets, I recommend washing your sheets so no pet dander can get in your tattoo.

Congrats! You must be super excited! If you have already booked with me, the hardest part is already done! As far as preparing for your appointment, make sure to drink plenty of water and eat something. Wear clothing that makes it easy for me to access the tattoo. Please limit you caffeine intake on the day of your appointment. I will go over your procedure with you more thoroughly if you let me know that it’s your first tattoo. Some tattoo etiquette for you to know prior to your appointment:

-Haggling is not a welcomed practice in the tattoo space. If you have a budget you need to stay within, please let me know! I will always try my best to make my clients happy, I want you to enjoy your piece! Touch ups are always free. That being said, asking for refunds/discounts after your tattoo appointment is considered quite rude and I personally don’t feel comfortable doing touch up work after those kinds of interactions.

-Tipping is standard! It’s not mandatory, but it helps us as artists pay for our time/effort/supplies etc (especially with the rise in cost of PPE due to Covid-19). It’s also a great way to show appreciation to your artist! Not all tips have to be monetary (check out my ‘booking info’ highlight on my Instagram for non-monetary tip ideas)

- Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Before, during, and after!

- If someone in the shop (client or artist) is making you uncomfortable, please let me know! I want you to feel that you have a safe space to be (as I do for myself as well).
