Aftercare using a second skin bandaging system (Tegaderm, Saniderm. Etc):
How to Remove a second skin bandage:
Aftercare not using second skin:
The studio is Fawn & Ember Tattoo. The address is Unit #148 10403 122 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta. The studio directly faces out to 104th ave (Stony Plain RD) There is visitor parking to the left on 122nd street that requires vehicle registration. The suite number to use for registration is 148.
Do NOT go to the apartment entrances. There is no buzzer for at the studio. If you are at an entrance with a buzzer, you’re at the wrong entrance. The studio entrance is a separate entrance facing directly towards Stony Plain RD.
The studio is located in retail units on the ground floor level of an apartment building. So, it’s easy to miss when you don’t know what you’re looking for!
There is a large vintage McDonald’s Carousel beside the front door of the studio, and easy landmark to spot and know you’re at the right place.
Please plan accordingly for construction delays. The downtown area is notorious for construction and there is current LRT construction.
Keep in mind that the studio is downtown, so if you’re willing to walk a slight distance, you can always park residentially and find free parking. Some clients utilize the Unity Square (Oliver Square) mall parking lot for parking. It is only meant for mall customers, so ticketing is a risk.
Otherwise, there is street parking around the building but it only accepts 2 hour increments at a time.
There is free visitor parking in the buildings parking lot to the East Side of the building, but it is usually full. If you find a spot, you will have to register your vehicle. The suite number is 148 to use for registration.
Please be mindful of the loading zones. They are monitored and you will be ticketed.
No. At this time I am by appointment only, however, it doesn’t hurt to stop by and see if any apprentices or other artists have any free time.
Yes, but please limit to one spectator only. No minors.
At this time, I only accept cash or E-transfer if paid before your appointment.
Your tattoo was most likely chosen based on subject matter so please be sure what you want at time of booking.
Changing your subject matter can result in your appointment being cancelled and your deposit is non-refundable.
If you are wanting a subject matter change, please email GlitterShitsInk@gmail.com and I will try to accommodate your request.
ALL Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
I require a $150 deposit for EACH session booked. So, if you book a large piece that requires 4 sessions, you will have to pay a deposit for each session. In this case, it would be $600. Deposits come off each session as they go.
If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, another deposit will be required to book a new date. Your initial deposit will be held on file as credit and will come off the final total of your tattoo.
If I need to reschedule your appointment, you will NOT be required to place another deposit for a new appointment date.
*Any amounts prepaid for future appointments act as gift cards and are also NON refundable.
Anything longer than 20 minutes late (on a regular appointment) will be considered a no-show. There are other clients in a day, so my schedule doesn't have much wiggle room.
You will lose your deposit and will need to place another deposit to rebook.
If you are running late, I urge you to contact my assistant or myself through Facebook or email to let us know. Sometimes, exceptions can be made. Communication is key! I understands that emergencies happen.
Unfortunately, this does happen and isn’t ever planned, but regardless, time was most likely spent on your design, and if not - it’s most likely too last minute to book someone in time in your spot.
Although, I am understanding to the unexpected, it still doesn’t pay my bills and my policies are set in place for a reason.
Clear and honest communication with your artist is always best and usually an arrangement can be made.
Please do not come in to get tattooed if you are sick. My mother with a weakened immune system lives with me full time and I don’t want to risk her getting sick if it can be avoided. Thank you.
No. Unfortunately, I am no longer giving previews of designs before appointments or charging a "draw fee" to have it drawn up earlier.
You will have to wait until the day of your appointment. No exceptions.
If changes need to be made, they can be made the day of.
I currently SET RATE all pieces. A quote can be given for each piece individually. Set rates are usually based on piece SIZE and not the time it takes.
*Please note that my rate is subject to change*
Sometimes! Depends what it is. :) It never hurts to ask!
No. Not even with parental consent.
Not at this time.
Absolutely! It is all dependent on subject matter, and the existing tattoo. Every potential cover up is different.
Honestly, most likely not.
I can take the design and design it to be similar yet cohesive to tattooing and in MY style, but I will not trace someone else's design.
Yes. Every person has their own threshold for pain. Regardless of your tolerance, it will hurt to a certain degree.
If you have a large piece that will require a lot of lining, I ask you to please refrain from using numbing creams. It changes the texture of your skin, and makes it difficult for stencil lines to remain applied while tattooing.
My waiver form has a clause you must check to inform me of you are using a numbing cream, and you will be aware that it can affect the outcome of your appointment.
I have a numbing spray that can be used sparingly throughout the tattoo if it’s becoming difficult to manage.
The most commonly used description is a cat scratching a sun burn. It's fairly accurate in most body locations.
Everyone is different, so its impossible to say for everyone, BUT, the most common painful spots include:
Foot
Ribs
Sternum
Head
Throat
Wrists
Back Calf
Don't drink alcohol the night before! It will thin the blood plus make you hungover (even if you don't feel you are) and will make the experience more painful. Some people bleed so heavily that they cannot get tattooed at all.
Get a GOOD sleep the night before.
Avoid caffeine.
Eat a HUGE, SUGARY, FATTENING breakfast before your tattoo! My go-to is waffles!
HYDRATE yourself.
Bring sugary drinks and snacks for the duration of your tattoo.
Bring headphones if you want to listen to your own music or watch a movie on your device.
Bring socks! Feet often get the cold sweats during tattoo appointments.
Wear clothes that you are OK with getting dirty. Tattooing can sometimes be a messy process!
Generally, a touch up is 15 minutes or less. It usually includes a bit of line work or highlight rework.
Regardless of the amount of time they take, they still require all the same amount of supplies used for a full appointment, so that’s why there is a $50 supply fee to book all touch ups.
Touch ups are not mandatory and I do reserve the right to refuse a touch up. You will be asked to send a picture and if nothing needs to be tattooed, I will let you know. If you are insistent on touching up something that does not need it, you can book an appointment and pay my regular minimum rate of $175 to do so.
Anything passed 30 minutes is no longer considered a touch up and the regular rate will apply.
If you change your mind and want something added or a different colour, this is NOT a touch up. It’s a rework/addition that will be charged a regular rate.
Touch ups on hands and feet will be charged at the regular rate. As these are very high wear and tear areas they typically do not heal well. These may require multiple and/or regular touch ups, and typically fade very quickly.
*** PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF A NEW POLICY CHANGE REGARDING FREEBIE TATTOOS ***
Q: What is considered a “freebie” tattoo?
A: When I don’t make or charge any money for my labour or time towards a tattoo.
Q: What classifies as a “freebie” tattoo?
A: Auction winners, Contest winners, trades of services (unless discussed with trader), Donation of my services, and personal gifting of my services.
Although I love to give and contribute as much as I can, “freebie” tattoos add up. Hoping for tips (that are always appreciated but NEVER expected) to at least cover supplies more often than not falls through, so it has been decided that I will now be charging a $50 supply fee for EACH session of "freebie tattoos".
This is to ensure that I am not LOSING money when I donate my time and services and at least covers supplies and studio costs used to provide you with your tattoo.
I truly hope this new policy change going forward is accepted and understood by all my wonderful clientele and I will continue to donate and contribute whenever I can without seeing a loss each time.
Thanks for your support and understanding!
When it comes to no shows; communication on the situation and a client’s history are taken into consideration.
A no show CAN result in no more future bookings.
However, an exception may be made to offer certain clients the option to pay for future appointments in full in advance.
Failure to show for an appointment paid in full will forfeit all the funds and you will not be rebooked.
Anything later than 20 minutes for an appointment is considered a no show and because of my tight schedule will need to be rebooked.
No. Your gift certificate has no cash value and is only redeemable for services rendered by Fawn.
Gift certificates are non-refundable.
Exceptions CAN be made if the client/artist relationship is terminated BY THE ARTIST ONLY.
As your appointment draws near, my assistant and system will confirm all your details within 1-2 weeks of your appointment.
If the confirmation process is not complete on your end within 48 hours of it being sent out, you will lose your spot and deposit.
