Deposit:

All tattoos require a $50 deposit to book your spot, which goes toward the final price of your tattoo.

No judging here, you do you!

Every tattoo and every body heals a little differently. Which to me is part of the magic in creating a handmade piece of art. That said, if you need a touchup, please do not hesitate to reach out. Touchups are free for the first six months after receiving a Tattoo. You can book a touchup at any point!

Yes!

Exfoliate a few times in the 2 weeks before your tattoo appointment, but not for the last 2 days before your appointment.

Drink water to stay hydrated for at least a couple weeks prior.

Moisturize with lotion where you are planning on getting tattooed do this daily for 2 weeks prior

Always use sunscreen, don’t come to your appointment with a sunburn or peeling skin.

Day of your appointment, make sure to have a good night sleep, eat a meal, stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothes, bring snacks and entertainment.

Let me know if you’d like a silent appointment.

Always speak up about size and placement – always happy to adjust

Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

*Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo to prevent infections.*

Immediate Care (First 24 Hours)

Leave the Bandage On:

• Your artist will apply a sterile bandage or medical-grade wrap.
• Keep it on for at least 2–4 hours, unless advised otherwise.

Gently Wash Your Tattoo:

• Remove the bandage and wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Do not scrub; gently pat and rub the area with clean hands, soap and water. Pat dry: Use a clean paper towel to pat the tattoo dry. Avoid rubbing with a regular towel.

Apply a Thin Layer of Aftercare Ointment:

• Use provided ointment for 3-4 days. Then switch to a lotion you like.  I like Comfort Cream 
• Do not over apply; a thin layer is enough. 
  • Ingredients in ointment: Vitamins A, C, and E, & botanical extracts known to soothe and moisturize the skin

Healing Phase (Days 2–14)

• Wash your tattoo twice a day with mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Apply a light, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Lubriderm, CeraVe, or Aveeno) 2–3 times daily to keep the skin hydrated. Aftercare ointment is also ok still.
• DO NOT pick, scratch, or peel scabs—let them fall off naturally. 
• Avoid direct sun exposure. No tanning beds.
• Wear loose, breathable clothing over the tattooed area to prevent irritation.
• Avoid soaking the tattoo (no swimming, hot tubs, or baths) for at least 2–3 weeks—showers are fine.

Long-Term Care (After 2 Weeks & Beyond)

• Once the tattoo has fully healed, keep it moisturized daily to maintain vibrancy.
• Always use a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30–50+) when exposed to the sun to prevent fading.
• Continue avoiding harsh exfoliants and strong chemicals on the tattooed skin.

Signs of Infection (Seek Medical Attention If You Experience)

• Persistent redness, swelling, or warmth beyond the first few days.
• Excessive pus, foul odor, or yellow/green discharge.
• Severe pain or fever.
• If you suspect an infection, contact a medical professional immediately.

For any concerns, reach out to the tattoo artist or a licensed healthcare provider.

Please! Seeing your tattoo out in the the wild and healed would be huge! 

I’m an LGBTQIA+ friendly tattoo artist and believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable while getting tattooed. 

My last name is Pici, pronounced Peachy. Because of that, I had a lot of peach-related nicknames growing up—Peach, Peachy, Peachykeen. But my favorite one came from my Nana and Bupa.

They were the sweetest little couple. My Bupa would wander around the house calling for her, usually saying, “Where’s my wife?” But sometimes he’d sing out in his thick Italian accent, “Miiiisssaaaaapeaaacchhh!” (Ms. Peach).

That nickname always stuck with me.

Now… would they approve of me being a tattoo artist? Probably not. One year I dyed my hair for a play, and my Nana literally prayed at Thanksgiving that I ruined my hair. So I’m pretty sure tattooing wouldn’t have been her favorite career choice either.

But honestly, I kind of love carrying that nickname with me anyway. It feels like a small, playful way of keeping that memory of them around.
