Booking

There are 1-2 days every two to three months that I schedule appointments and accept new clients. Until that time, I can not accommodate new appointments.

I will announce when the date of my booking day is on my social media pages a week in advance (instagram: natjuniperart).

During my booking days, appointments can only be scheduled through the '“appointment request” form on this website. The “appointment request” form will be not be available until then, so tab will be hidden. Submitting an appointment request form does NOT guarantee that you will get an appointment.

Hours

Juniper Studio is an appointment only tattoo studio. Appointments can be scheduled Monday-Friday through the “application request” form, when books open. Due to a high volume of clientele, walk-ins cannot be accommodated.

Pricing

Juniper Studio’s minimum is $100 and my approximate hourly rate is $180/hr. The final cost of a piece depends on size, location on the body, and time of the tattoo. There is a full day rate of $1,000 for a 6 hour session.
I only can accept the following forms of payment: CASH or VENMO.

Pre-Tattoo

  • Please eat within 2 hours of your tattoo appointment.

  • Get a good nights rest and drink plenty of water the night before your appointment.

  • It is highly encouraged to bring snacks and a water bottle with you.

  • Feel free to bring headphones, a book, blanket, etc.

  • Keep in mind that your clothing may get ink on it so dress appropriately.

  • If you are under the influence of any kind, you will be asked to leave and you will lose your deposit.

  • Please do not bring more than two guests with you.

Tattoo Aftercare

  • Keep bandage on for no longer than 2 hours.

  • After removing bandage gently wash tattoo with fingertips under hot water with anti-bacterial non-scented liquid soap (Dial liquid gold hand soap) .

  • After washing let air dry or pat gently with a clean paper towel.

  • If your tattoo is visibly dry, massage a very small amount of aquaphor/unscented lotion into the tattoo. Apply small amounts of ointment for the next 2 weeks as needed.

    • If the tattoo looks glossy, you are using too much ointment/lotion which means your tattoo cannot breathe and will not heal properly.

    • Do NOT coat your tattoo in ointment/lotion.

    • Some recommended ointments are Aquaphor, Redemption, Hustle butter.

    • Some recommended lotions are Aveeno Oat fragrance-free, Nivea fragrance-free, and Lubriderm Daily Moisture fragrance-free.

    • NOT recommended: Vaseline, tattoo goo, A & D ointment, or any petroleum based ointments.

  • Do NOT submerge tattooed area in water for at least 2 weeks. Showering is fine, only use finger tips and your unscented anti-bacteria soap in the shower.

  • Do NOT peel, pick, or itch your healing tattoo. Let scabbing or flaking fall off naturally. Failing to do so can result in an infection.

  • No soaking, swimming, tanning or shaving for at least 2 weeks after getting tattooed.

  • Once your tattoo is fully healed, remember to always apply a minimum of 50 SPF sunscreen for preservation.

  • Tattoos are controlled open wounds. Keep them clean, keep them lightly moisturized.

  • If you have any concerns or questions about the healing of your fresh tattoo do not hesitate to email me or contact your doctor.

Dermshield Aftercare

  •   Leave the Dermshield on for 4-6 days. Do not leave on for more than 6 days.

    • Fluid (blood/plasma/ink) will accumulate underneath the surface of the bandage and may create a bubble. The liquid will be dark, discolored, and opaque, that is normal.

    • If the fluid leaks out of the bandage or accumulates excessively, change Dermshield after the first 12-24 hours after first applied.

  •   Make sure to have clean hands and cleansed the tattoo and surrounding area with unscented antibacterial soap and water.

  •   Pat dry with a CLEAN paper towel before reapplying your second sheet of Dermshield with clean dry hands.

  •   On the 6th day, remove the bandage under warm, running water by peeling slowly from one corner of the film. Pull gently until the Dermshield lets up completely.

  •   After Dermshield is removed clean tattoo with clean fingertips, warm water, and unscented antibacterial soap.

  •   After removing Dermshield treat tattoo with dial gold pump soap and a tiny bit of Aquaphor/unscented lotion when noticeably dry.

  •   If extreme swelling, red bumps, discomfort, or extra redness occurs on the skin outside of the tattoo (but under the bandage) you may be having an allergic reaction or adhesive sensitivity. If this occurs, remove saniderm immediately, wash tattoo, and continue with an ointment/lotion based aftercare.

  •   Some slight redness and swelling is normal.

  •   The Dermshield may leave a thin red irritation mark where edges were (much like a band aid) this is normal and is up to you if you'd like to remove the Dermshield early.
