Tattoo Information and Procedures

I currently work out of Ophidia Tattoo, located in Victoria, BC's Chinatown on the unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples, Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. Appointments only.

 

Designs:
I do my best take on designs I feel inspired by and believe my skills can complete.
 

  • Please familiarize yourself with all of my recent work to know what to expect in your design. (ie: work Ive done in the past year)
     

  • Designs will be shown at the time of the appointment. I do not share designs before the appointment.
    Some designs require both stenciling and freehanding.
     

  • I can accommodate minor adjustments on the day of the appointment, as it will be your first look at it.
     

  • Major design changes must be brought up at least 48 hours before our appointment. In the event I need to completely redraw your design, this can result in rescheduling and loss of the deposit. If there's details that you want in the design, please tell me.
     

  • If you change your mind completely after booking an appointment and would like a different design, that must be discussed and agreed upon before moving forward. Change of design does not guarantee an appointment. This may result in loss of your deposit.
     

  • Larger scale tattoos that take over 4+ hours, we will break up into multiple sessions.
     

  • I only tattoo my original art. I do encourage any references to use as inspiration for developing a design.


    When proposing your idea:
     

  • Please be as concise as possible. I only need to know the details you have in mind for the design.

  • Please include any specific details that you'd like in the design.

  • One idea per submission!

  • I am typically only booking 3 - 5 weeks ahead.



Deposits:
Once we have agreed on the design, budget and appointment date:

 

  • A minimum $100 deposit is required to book and hold an appointment date.
    The deposit goes towards your total tattoo cost of your tattoo.
     

  • If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, it will be taken off the total of our last session.
     

  • Larger / multi-session designs will require larger deposits.
     

  • Deposits are not a payment for a tattoo design/sketch.
     

  • Deposits will be carried over ONE (1) reschedule with 72 hours notice provided.
    Through my own discretion, I may require new deposit with shorter notice or you miss your appointment.
     

  • Deposits will be forfeited in the case of a cancellation, sudden rescheduling, no-shows or a complete design change on the day of the appointment. No exceptions.

    Rates:

  • $200 hourly.

  • $400 minimum (includes deposit)
