    • A $50-$100 deposit is required to book any appointment. deposits are fully non refundable.

    • Deposits are transferable to a new date if you provide at least 72 hours' notice and I have not yet sent your design.

    • If you have received your design $50 of your deposit will be forfeited.

    • I do not begin drawing until a deposit is paid and an appointment is confirmed. if a deposit is waived for any reason drawing will not be done until the appointment and it will be billed.

  • I only accept cash payments.

    My fees are broken down as follows:

    • I charge per piece and a quote will be given prior to your appointment. Unless changes are made to size or design or tardiness, or you are unable to sit still which adds length to your appointment, this price will not exceed the quote.

    • Minimum charge: $100 (for small tattoos or designs that take less than an hour)

    • Drawing at Appointment: If I haven’t received your deposit and therefore the tattoo must be drawn at the time of your appointment, that time will be billable. If there are any design changes made during the appointment, this will be billable time.

      *the only additional fee is provincial tax regulations. In Alberta this is 5%

  • Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

    • If you arrive more than 15 minutes late without notifying me in advance, it will be considered a no-show, and you will lose your deposit.

    • If you're late, the clock will start at the scheduled appointment time, and you will be charged for the full time from there, including any time spent adjusting your design or getting started.

      Traffic, Locating our shop,paying for parking etc. are all things that should be sorted prior to your appointment.

  • I value your privacy and respect the trust you place in me as your tattoo artist. Here’s how I approach privacy:

    • Confidentiality: I will never share personal information, appointment details, or anything discussed during our sessions with anyone. Your privacy is important to me, and I want you to feel comfortable during your time in the studio.

    • Photos: I do not post photos of your tattoo or session the same day as your appointment. When I do share photos of completed tattoos, I will make an effort to hide identifying details (such as faces, logos on uniforms, etc.) unless you give me explicit permission to do otherwise.

    • Respect for My Privacy: In return, I ask that my privacy be respected as well. This includes:

      • Personal information about me or anything shared outside of our tattoo work.

      • Our door code and any details about my studio.

      • I do not welcome clients to the studio outside of scheduled appointments. If you would like to visit or discuss anything in person, please contact me first, and we can arrange a time.

    I operate in a private studio with the goal of providing a quiet, focused, and professional environment, and I kindly ask that this privacy be honored by everyone.

  • All artwork, tattoo designs, drawings, sketches, and visual content displayed on this website or created by Bonesnbugstattoos are the intellectual property of the artist and are protected under Canadian copyright law.

    All designs, whether custom or flash, are owned by the artist unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Reproducing, copying, tracing, or using any artwork without express written permission is strictly prohibited and considered theft of intellectual property.

    Commissioning or receiving a tattoo does not transfer ownership of the artwork or design rights. Clients may not reuse, replicate, or resell designs for other purposes (including merchandise, logos, or re-tattooing by another artist) without written consent.

    Legal action may be pursued in the event of unauthorized use.

  • Yes! Consultations can be done via email, phone, or in person. It’s a great way to go over your ideas and discuss the design before booking your appointment.

  • You can bring one guest, but I encourage a quiet and focused environment. No children under 12 are allowed in the studio.

  • I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you should keep the tattoo clean, moisturized, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid soaking in water (baths, pools) until fully healed.

  • Healing time typically takes 2-4 weeks. After that, the tattoo may look healed, but it’s still important to care for it during the full healing process.

Booking

I accept bookings through the following channels only:

  • My website

  • Email: bonesnbugstattoos@gmail.com

Please do not contact me through any of my personal profiles or accounts to book a tattoo.

Artwork

  • I create all of my own original designs.

  • I begin drawing designs the week of your appointment.

  • If you want a fully shaded, completed design before or during the appointment (beyond just a simple line work stencil), an additional drawing fee will apply.

Design delivery & revisions:

  • You’ll receive your design at least 12 hours before your appointment.

  • Revisions are welcome! However, excessive revisions and complete redraws will incur an additional $50 fee.

Providing a clear description of your idea and researching my style beforehand is important to avoid miscommunication.

⚠️ I will not copy another artist’s work, even with permission. I take pride in creating custom art through my own process.
