What if I need to reschedule?

If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours’ notice so your deposit can be transferred to a new date. Reschedules made with less than 48 hours’ notice may result in a forfeited deposit.

No-call/no-shows will forfeit their deposit and may not be able to book future appointments.

Do you take walk-ins?

Shade and Stencil is currently appointment-only so each client has a reserved time and a calm, intentional experience.

Any walk-in flash days or special events will be announced ahead of time through email and Instagram.

Do I have to be 18 to get a tattoo?

Yes, I only tattoo clients who are 18+ with valid ID

How should I prepare for my appointment ?

Before your appointment, please come well-rested, hydrated, and fed. This applies to both nano brow and tattoo services. Please avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours prior to your appointment. If you’re taking any prescribed medication, always check with your physician before making any changes.

Can I bring a design I found on Pinterest?

Yes! Just upload it under "Reference Design" on the inquiry form. I’m happy to work with inspiration or recreate a piece if requested.

Do you offer custom designs?

Feel free to upload reference images to help me understand your vision, style, placement, or overall vibe.

If you’re wanting a fully custom design, please make that clear in your inquiry and be as detailed as possible. Share what you like, what you don’t like, any elements you want included or avoided, and the overall concept or meaning behind your idea.

This helps me understand your direction while still creating something that feels intentional and custom to you.

What is Fine Line | Tiny Tattoo?

Tiny tattoos are small, minimal designs made for a subtle, delicate look. Fine line tattoos are created using single needles or very small needle groupings, allowing for thin, crisp lines instead of bold, heavy outlines.

They’re perfect for dainty designs, simple script, symbols, small custom pieces, and “whisper tattoos” — the kind of ink that feels soft, intentional, and quietly personal.

What is a flash sheet?

Pre-made tattoo designs that are usually displayed on the walls or in books at tattoo shops. Clients can pick from these designs to get tattooed, or use them as inspiration for a custom piece.

Will fine line tattoos fade?

Fine line tattoos can soften and fade slightly over time, just like all tattoos. Because they’re created with thinner lines and lighter details, they may heal more delicate than bold traditional tattoos.

Proper placement, aftercare, and sun protection all help your tattoo heal and age as nicely as possible. Touch-ups may be needed depending on your skin, placement, lifestyle, and how the tattoo heals.

Proper placement, aftercare, and sun protection all help your tattoo heal and age as nicely as possible.

Finger, hand, and foot tattoos are more prone to fading because those areas go through more movement, friction, and daily wear. Because of this, touch-ups are not always guaranteed and may be priced separately depending on the placement and healed result.

Touch ups are $25

Do tiny tattoos need a touch up?

Touch-ups may be needed depending on your skin, placement, lifestyle, and how the tattoo heals. Areas with more movement or friction, like fingers, hands, feet, and certain delicate placements, may fade faster than others.

Can I get more than one tattoo in one appointment?

Yes. Multiple tiny tattoos can usually be done in one appointment, depending on the size, detail, and placement of each piece. Please book the option that best fits the number of tattoos you’d like so enough time is reserved.

Check out the bundle options to save!

Do you draw before a deposit is paid?

Design work begins after your appointment is approved and your deposit is paid. Your inquiry form helps guide the design, so please include all inspo, details, and preferences when submitting your request. For custom pieces, your deposit reserves both your appointment time and the design process.

nano Brows FAQ

For the curious, the prepared, and the “wait, one more question” clients — here’s everything you need to feel confident before your appointment.

What are nano brows?

Nano brows are a form of cosmetic tattooing that creates soft, hair-like strokes using a machine and ultra-fine needle. The goal is to enhance your natural brows with shape, definition, and fullness while still keeping them soft and realistic..

Why do nano brows require two appointments?

Nano brows are built in two sessions for the best healed result. At your first appointment, we map your brows, choose a custom color, and start conservatively so the shape and color heal naturally. At your perfecting appointment 6–8 weeks later, we add more detail, adjust anything that healed lighter, and refine the final look

How long do nano brows last?

Nano brows typically last 1–3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Over time, the color will gradually soften and fade, which is normal.

Most clients schedule a color boost around 12–18 months to keep their brows looking fresh and defined.

Will my brows look too dark at first?

Your brows may appear darker, bolder, or more defined at first, but this is part of the healing process. As they heal, the color will soften and lighten. This is why the perfecting appointment is important — it allows us to make adjustments once we see how your skin healed.

Do I need a color boost later?

Most clients choose to schedule a color boost over time to keep their brows looking fresh and defined. Color boosts are typically done around 12–18 months, depending on how your brows fade, your skin type, lifestyle, and how much definition you want to maintain.

If you choose not to keep up with color boosts, the goal is for your brows to gradually soften and fade over time while still looking natural.

Overall Nano is low maintance, not no maintance :)

How do I know if nano brows are right for me?

Nano brows may be a good fit if you want fuller, more defined brows while still keeping a soft and natural look. They’re great for clients with sparse areas, uneven brows, uneven shape, or anyone tired of filling their brows in daily.

Whether you already have a good base or feel like we’re building your brows from scratch, the goal is to create a shape that feels balanced, natural, and custom to your face. If you have previous brow tattooing, very oily skin, certain skin conditions, or medical concerns, we may need to review your brows first to make sure you’re a good candidate.

Is a consultation included for nano brows?

Yes. Every nano brow appointment includes a full consultation, brow mapping, custom color selection, and final approval before we begin. A separate consultation is optional if you’d like to chat first, but it is not required to book.
