The studio is located on the fifth floor of the building, and is accessible by elevator or a stairwell. To access the elevator use the northernmost glass doors of the building. The entrance to the studio is a barrier- free single door. The washrooms on the 5th floor are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, but there are single occupancy washrooms on the first floor, one with a toilet, one with a toilet + urinal. Neither of the washrooms have grab bars.
There is one step up to the area where I typically tattoo, however, just let me know and I am happy to move my station to the area that is barrier- free.
If you have any questions or specific accessibility needs, please write to me and I'll do my best to make our space work for you.

My current hourly rate for my tattoos is $165/ hour and the estimated price is determined by the placement, complexity and size of your tattoo. This amount includes drawing time, a consultation, communications, the materials I use, studio rent, inflation, and of course making the tattoo itself! I will give you an estimate of the price of your tattoo either at your consultation or once I start your drawing. Larger pieces are charged at an hourly rate the day of your tattoo. I will give you an estimate of this at your consultation. The majority of my tattoos take around 2 hours, so my current average price is around $300-350 for a tattoo.
I also offer a sliding scale for my tattoos. Please inquire at the time of booking if you would like to access one. Once an appointment is confirmed, an estimated price will be provided. Payments are accepted in cash, e-Transfer, or Paypal for those coming from outside of Canada.
Please note that the closest ATM is about 10 minutes walking distance from the studio.

A $100 deposit will be requested when you confirm your tattoo appointment. You may either pay cash at the time of your consultation or make a transfer using e-Transfer or Paypal (confirm this with me when paying). In general, the deposit is non-refundable. If you’d like to change the time and/or date of your appointment, you must let me know at least 48 hours in advance.
The deposit is non-refundable if:
– I have worked on your drawing, but you decide not to get tattooed
– You do not come to your appointment, or you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment
– You cancel without the intention of rescheduling your appointment
– You wait more than 6 months before rescheduling your appointment, unless you’ve made other arrangements with me in advance
—Please ask me for more details about my late policy

While I understand that it is sometimes impossible to come to an appointment for different reasons, please note that you must let me know at least 48 hours in advance in order to not lose your deposit. I will do our best to arrange a new appointment for you as soon as I can. Please contact me directly by email if you need to cancel.
