Frequently asked questions.

  • Please email me at milky.pdf@gmail.com with the following information

    • Design (reference photos or screenshots of flash/my previous work are appreciated)

    • Size in inches

    • Placement (If it is above 10”, around other tattoos, or a coverup, please include a photo of the placement)

    • Budget if any (I have a guideline of my typical pricing below)

    Please note that all bookings require a deposit and I cannot hold a spot for you without a deposit.

    If my books are closed, please feel free to sign up for my mailing list. Folks on the mailing list will have my booking form emailed straight to them :)

  • Deposits are required for all bookings. It is a $113 ($100+tax) deposit for tattoos up to 3hrs, and $169.50 ($150+tax) for tattoos above 3hrs.

    The deposit is non-refundable and will be taken out of the final cost of your tattoo. Given at least 3 days notice, you can reschedule once. After that a new deposit may be required. If you no-show or are more than 20 minutes late without contacting me prior, your deposit will be forfeit. Deposits WILL NOT be returned for cancellations.

    Deposits are paid via Stripe (debit or credit) using the Calendly service. Upon paying your deposit you are also able to book yourself into my calendar :)

  • Sometimes.

    When you put down a deposit you are booking a time slot for the specific piece we agreed to, and it is with the hope that you have thought it through and are committed to that design. Often times when folks change their designs (often last minute) they are changing it to a piece that I wouldn’t have agreed to in the first place. I will start rejecting these.

    Given more than one weeks notice, I am happy to make small edits, size and placement changes, or swapping one flash for another (assuming the time slot you booked allows for these changes). Larger changes may need to be rebooked, and a $50 fee will be applied.

    NOT ALL EDITS/CHANGES WILL BE APPROVED. If you would like to swap to a totally different design, you will need to submit a new inquiry and pay a new deposit. Your original deposit will be forfeit.

    Finally, if you come in to your appointment and ask to completely change the tattoo on the spot, you will be asked to leave and your deposit will be lost. This is not a hard and fast rule, but 9 times out of 10 I will say no to a massive design or size change.

    If you have questions about your appointment, please just ask ahead of time.

  • You will always receive an estimate for your tattoo at the time of booking, please contact me if you can’t find your estimate. Most of my tattoos range between $300-700, and full day sessions typically range from $900-1100. Pricing is very dependent on the style/complexity of the piece.

    All tattoos are subject to 13% tax. I currently accept payments via cash or debit.

    a note about trades: there are A FEW THINGS I would be willing to trade for (sometimes I’ll offer a discount instead of a trade). I’m sometimes willing to trade for large and/or rare skulls, wet specimen, taxidermy, exceptionally cool vintage things, etc. If you’d like to trade feel free to ask, I won’t always say yes but sometimes I will want the cool thingy.

    a note about tipping: tips are always appreciated but absolutely not expected! If you want to give me something but prefer non-monetary tips, I love cool plants, skulls, wet specimen, art/tattoo books, and shiny trinkets.

  • I’m in a private studio located in the Junction neighbourhood of Toronto. The nearest subway station is Lansdowne station. We don’t share the exact studio address until you’ve been booked in.

  • There are 2 steps to get into the studio, the door is approx. 36” wide, and our beds have a weight capacity of approx. 450lb. Please contact me at milky.pdf@gmail.com if you have any concerns re: accessibility.

  • All freehand tattoos are drawn directly onto the skin on the day of the appointment. You’ll be asked questions about how large you’d like the tattoo, where you like it to start/end, how much space you’d like it to cover, etc. I try to include clients in the design process as much as possible to make sure it’s unique to you :)

  • All custom pieces are drawn beforehand and shown to you on the day of the appointment, I will not send you the design beforehand. I always schedule in a bit of extra time to allow for small edits, but if you have a very specific vision for how you’d like your tattoo to look, PLEASE INCLUDE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE WHEN BOOKING.

if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me on instagram @milky.pdf or email at milky.pdf@gmail.com. Thank you ♡
