All fine line tattoo appointments will be exclusively at my Dilworth location (Lane Salon).

Fine line tattoos will only be done on Saturdays.

Ink options are black or red only.

Please be as detailed as possible when filling out your form on what tattoo you want and where you’d like it placed.

All appointments must be approved by me once submitted.

All communication regarding your tattoo will be done through text.

Please be advised of the cancellation policy. You sign off on it when you make your appointment and it is strictly followed.

Pricing includes one free touch-up.

Cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Click the “Book Now“ link in my Instagram bio (@JulieAnnMetzger) or directly click the “Book Now“ tab on my website. If you choose to go through my website please make sure you choose the Dilworth location – Lane Salon – 2400 Park Rd.

Fill out the form for fine line tattoos. Please be extremely descriptive and upload pictures.

Example: “I want my children’s birthdays.” Instead say “I would like my 3 children’s birthdays (3/29/18, 5/29/20, 5/18/22) in roman numerals, shown like the font in the picture, on my inner lower left arm.”

Please allow up to 7 days for me to approve your appointment.

Are you unsure of what specific tattoo appointment slot pertains to you and what you are wanting?

Do you want multiple designs that fall under different appointment slots?

Text me prior to booking! You can text me pictures of what you are wanting and where and we can discuss what appointment slot(s) would be appropriate for you.

Text: 716.523.1053 (personal cell)

Once your appointment is approved all communication will be done via text. It’s helpful for the both of us to keep the text thread so we can quickly look back if needed.

If I have any questions about your tattoo or appointment I will reach out via text.

Again, please be as descriptive and detailed as possible when describing what tattoo you’d like and where you’d like it placed.

I will have a printout of your tattoo design with different size options.

We then will decide on placement and size.

If we need to make adjustments we can! If you don’t like the placement of your stencil we can reposition it until you’re happy. Please don’t hesitate to communicate during this process.

Once the stencil is placed the tattooing will begin.

I play music during tattooing and do not talk. I need to concentrate and tend to zone out. Please don’t mistake this for anything other than concentration.

DaFont.com is a great website to look on if you are wanting tattoos with font (names, words, initials, Roman numerals, numbers etc.)

Do not consume alcohol/drugs before.

Do not have a sunburn on the area being tattooed.

Do take any aspirin or ibuprofen, unless directed by a physician, as it thins your blood.

Wear comfy and appropriate clothing for where you’re getting your tattoo.

Don’t plan on being in the sun afterwards.

Feel free to bring a friend or family member for support and photos!

Be prepared for photos! I love taking pictures of my clients and work.

Breathe! And don’t worry your parents will get over it!

Leave the Saniderm on for 3-4 days depending on the size and area of the tattoo. I will tell you exactly how many days are needed before you leave your appointment.

If the Saniderm gets too gross you can remove it. Gently wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap, pat dry, and apply another piece of Saniderm for the remaining time.

Blood, ink and plasma may collect under the Saniderm. This is normal and aids in the healing process.

Once the Saniderm is able to be removed, the area may be red, swollen and sore, that’s normal.

Your tattoo will have a thin scab. Do not pick at the scabs.

4-6 weeks after your appointment your tattoo will be fully healed. At this time you can schedule a touch-up, if necessary.

I am a new tiny tattoo artist but not new in the tattoo world (permanent makeup).

I stand behind my work and want my clients to have the best results.

I offer one free touch up for my clients, if needed.

With fine line tattoos, due to the size of the needle and technique, fading is common.

Hand and finger tattoos tend to fade quicker due to the thinness of the skin and hand washing.
