jon’s lore

my tattooing legend originated in a professional, 5 star, local Massachusetts tattoo shop in november of 2020 and have been wielding a drawing utensil since at least 1994. i have spent decades on an evolution of my craft, attaining inspiration from an array of avenues such as dark and gritty 80’s and 90’s martial arts/crime/sci-fi/superhero films, horror of varying ages and styles, comic/manga/graphic novel art, an endless library of animation, while maintaining an eye for elements the organic beauty, natural, and supernatural world around us. i have developed a style that embodies my way of expression and it is always my mission to work closely with each person to craft their concepts to life in a way only i can facilitate; offering guidance on subject matter, design, placement, and size that is a collaboration of the client and myself to ensure that the final result is something they will cherish for a lifetime.

Booking Policies

Deposit Requirement:
A non-refundable $200 deposit is required to secure your appointment. The deposit will be applied toward your final service cost.

Cancellation and Rescheduling:
Please provide at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Major emergencies and life events will be understood and worked through but appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice; including no-call/no-shows forfeit the deposit.

Arrival Time:
Arriving late may result in a shortened session or rescheduling to avoid impacting other appointments. Please arrive on time.

Age and Identification:
Clients must be at least 18 years old and provide valid photo identification at the time of service.

Health and Safety:
Inform the artist of any medical conditions or allergies prior to your appointment. This includes any recent common contagious illness or exposure to other parties dealing with such illness. To ensure my health and well-being, I would much rather reschedule one appointment for a client that is sick than to risk getting sick and having to reschedule multiple appointments due to this circumstance. Services may be declined for health reasons.

Payment:
Payment in full is due at the completion of the service. I accept cash, Venmo, Cashapp, and PayPal. At this time, I do not accept credit cards.

Design Approval:
Final design approval is required before the tattooing begins. Booking the appointment is done once the artist and the client are fully on the same page about all the design elements and components. Minor adjustments may be made no later than at least two weeks of the scheduled appointment aside from very minimal changes that can be made on the spot. I do not charge an initial drawing fee; this is worked into the price of the tattooing, but any major changes requested within two weeks of the appointment will require a rescheduled date and a $100 drawing fee will be required to book the new date. Changes after the tattooing has started may not be possible.

By booking an appointment, you agree to comply with these policies. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
