FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I book?
Go to the booking page and fill the request. Put down as much information as possible about your idea. You can also upload a reference picture. If it is a project I'm interested into taking on, I will get back to you with a booking link and an estimate for how long we should book. From the link, you can book yourself in for a free consultation ( if more information are needed) or book your appointment at your own convenience.

​
Do you do cover ups?
Yes I do when it is possible. Cover ups have to be darker and usually bigger than the original piece you want covered. A color tattoo is often an easier way to proceed.
What type of ink/ neddles do you use?
I only use top quality products for top quality results. I use Fusion inks and eternal inks and I use Kwadron cartridges because they are the sharpest and the most consistant needles on the market in my opinion.
​
Do I need to put down a deposit to Book?
100%. a non-refundable and non-tranferable deposit is required to book any tattoo appointment. The deposit will go towards the last session of your tattoo. Deposits are to be e-transfer to modernmarkingstattoo@gmail.com .
Canceling within 72 hours of the appointment or a no-show will result in the lost of your deposit.

​
What happens during the consultation?
We will meet in the studio to discuss ideas, images, placement, and other details. I will ask a lot of questions, and any references you can bring are very helpful in ensuring we can bring your vision fully to life. After we create a concept that you're happy with, we'll book your appointment. Please note that a deposit is required at this time to book a tattoo appointment.
​
​
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Get a good night's sleep and have a meal before your appointment. Please refrain from drinking the night before since it will make your blood thinner ( more bleeding). Depending on the length, you may want to bring snacks and water to keep your blood sugar levels up. a blanket and comfy clothes can also be a great idea for your own comfort. Don't be shy to ask all the questions you might have to your artist.
​
​
Can I work out after getting my tattoo?
Please refrain from going to the gym for 5-7 days. A tattoo is an open wound and it is critical to avoid exposing it to sweat, dust, and dirt as much as possible. Similarly, please avoid bathtubs, saunas, hot-tubs, or any situation where your tattoo may be submerged in water.
​
​
What about touch-ups?
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your tattoo to heal. After this time, touch-ups may be required based on how well your tattoo healed. This is totally normal. Please reach out to book a touch-up appointment via email.
