FAQ

I am located at Handmade Tattoo, 50 Brentwood Blvd, Unit #102, Sherwood Park, Alberta. Enter through the front doors and we are the first door on the left. We are across the hall from Briarpatch Preschool, and next to the Pharamasave.

My hourly rate is $185/hr +gst and supply fees. In addition, I offer a 6-hour day rate session for $900+gst and supply fees. All pre-drawn designs are a flat rate, please inquire for pricing.

Tattoo consultations are free! They are available by appointment. Please contact me to book.

Yes, deposits are non-refundable but will be used against the cost of your tattoo. Deposits are $150 and should be E-Transferred to Wesley Pretty via email to wprettytattoo@gmail.com or can be paid by any method in the shop.

Cash, or E-Transfers. Cash is always appreciated!

Yes! You may reschedule your appointment up to 48-hrs prior of your original appointment date without forfeiting your deposit. If you are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment without notification, you will be classified as a “no-show,” and your deposit will be forfeit, and your appointment cancelled. Shuffling appointments last minute is incredibly challenging for myself and creates empty chairs which harms the shop and the artists. Please be mindful of this when considering rescheduling your tattoo appointment.

NO. Never under any circumstances will I tattoo minors. Come back when you turn 18!

No.

Preferably no. Please ask permission ahead of time so that I am prepared for the additional company. Handmade Tattoo is limited in its space for guests, so we ask that you are considerate of those who will also be sharing the space with you during your appointment.

You MUST be sober to be tattooed. Please be hydrated and fed before your appointment. Use a moisturizer on the area you will be getting tattooed at least a few days in advance of your tattoo appointment. Please wear appropriate clothing for where you will be getting tattooed so that you will be comfortable and I can work without obstruction. In addition, feel free to bring a drink or snacks to your tattoo appointment.

Drawings, sketches, and final designs for your tattoo will NOT be made available to you until your appointment unless other arrangements have been made. Any changes that need to be made can be handled on your appointment date. If you have concerns about your design, it is your responsibility to take the proper care in communicating what you want with me during consultation. No changes or additions are to be requested within 48 hours of your appointment.

Please understand that drawing time for even small tattoos can sometimes take longer than your entire appointment, and I must be able to schedule around that limited time. This is what works best for me; thank you for understanding.

I will only tattoo other artists’ designs if you have received that artist’s permission before booking your appointment. If you would like me to do a custom tattoo that is similar to or inspired by another artist’s design, please include those reference images in the booking email you send me.
