Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers about our tattoo services, how to book your session, and what to expect when you visit.
What styles of tattoos do you specialize in?
I tattoo a range of styles. You can find me laying in thick lines, color and heavy black work; or fine line and stipple shading.
I would say my style aligns most with illustrative realism.
How do I book an appointment?
I like speaking with you directly. There's a booking tab on this website that directs your inquiry to melzanapps@gmail.com.
Just click the "BOOKING" tab at the top of this page.
What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?
Bring a valid ID, snacks, a blanket, water, and a full belly.
While I offer beverages and some light snacks, it's always best to be prepared!
What can I expect during the tattoo process?
The day of your appointment, I will show you the design we have discussed prior either via email or during an in-person consultation. We can make any changes together .
What if I don’t like the design?
This piece lives on your body for life. I am happy to change anything your heart desires. My goal is to take the image you see in your head and bring it to life while also accommodating for aging and growth.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
I use a clear film that goes over your tattoo for 3-5 days. Keep it clean with Dial Gold and moisturize wow an unscented, non-spf lotion.
You can find details instructions on my "AFTERCARE" page.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes. Your time is set aside specially for you. That save is saved with a non-refundable $100 deposit that comes off the total cost of your tattoo.
Please allow at least 48 hours notice for rescheduled or cancelled appointments in order to utilize your deposit for another sitting. One reschedule is granted per deposit made. Additional deposit will be required at the second reschedule.
