An apprenticeship is the learning stage one goes through before becoming a tattoo artist. I study under Daysha, which makes me her apprentice! An apprenticeship begins with understanding and practicing health and sanitary habits, as well as completing a course on blood borne pathogens. Following this, an apprentice can then practice on fake skin, their own skin, and volunteers. Eventually one is able to begin tattooing clients at an apprentice rate!
I currently have an apprentice rate of $50 + tax per hour, and will be able to give you a time estimate before your appointment.
I’m still finding my own tattoo style, but I love high contrast stylized black work. I really enjoy tattooing animals, foliage, flow-y abstract pieces, and most things nerdy! Anything fantasy, Pokémon, anime, cartoon, or video game related, I’m on board to make it look as cool and bold or as subtle and dainty as you desire!
I haven’t had the chance to practice with colour yet, so for the time being no. In the near future I hope to offer colour tattoos!
Yes, you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo with me. Please bring photo ID to your appointment!
I book through my direct messages on Instagram. Shoot me a message on @jinks_ink with your inquiries!
Cash or e-transfer
Each client is required to pay a $20 non-refundable deposit in order to secure their appointment. Your appointment will not be held for you until the deposit has been paid. The deposit will come off the total at the end of your tattoo session.
Your deposit will only be forfeited if:
⁃ The appointment is cancelled.
⁃ Insufficient notice for rescheduling is provided (less than 72 hours).
⁃ The appointment is rescheduled more than once.
⁃ No call/ no show.
⁃ The tattoo idea is completely changed once booked.
⁃ If you arrive at your appointment unfit to be tattooed.
⁃ If you are more than 30 minutes late for your appointment.
* If you are more than 30 minutes late I cannot guarantee that I will still have time to fit your project in on that date. If we then have to reschedule, another $20 deposit will be needed.
** This includes arriving intoxicated, underage, pregnant, or with skin that is unable to be tattooed (i.e, sunburnt, scrapes or significant bruising).
Please make sure to eat prior to your tattoo and bring water and snacks if it’s a longer appointment. Ensure you are wearing clothes that allow for easy access to the area that we are tattooing.
I work on my designs on the Monday and/or Tuesday prior to the appointment. So if we have an appointment on a Thursday, for example, you will see the design 2-3 days prior on the Monday or Tuesday.
You are entitled to a free touch up, if needed, within a year of getting the tattoo (except if the tattoo is on your hands or feet). If you think you are in need of a touch up please send me a healed photo 2-3 months after the appointment so I can see how the tattoo has settled and how long of an appointment I need to book you in for. Don’t hesitate to reach out and DM me @jinks_ink on instagram!
