OWNER OF BOCA'S F.A.C.E.
I have been practicing body art for over half my life now. I’ve always been artistic, but never enjoyed other art mediums until I discovered body art while working at an amusement park. I am a mom to 2 girls. It's always best to email or text me as my little ones keep me very busy! I truly love what I do and I love to make kids smile.
YES! Vaccinated and boosted!
I only use vegan products. I use various different brands, but all paints are water activated face paints. Currently in my kit are TAG, Diamond FX and Kryvaline.
All face paints used are non-toxic and safe for the skin. All are hypoallergenic and formulated to be antimicrobial.
Although there are very rare occasions of allergic reactions, we do not recommend face painting if you have very sensitive skin or for children under 3 years old.
Our glitter gels contain cosmetic glitter and aloe vera.
I am based out of Tacoma, WA.
After 20 miles outside of Tacoma, WA, there is an additional fee. The travel fee starts at $20 and increases the further away the location is. I do not typically travel far for prenatal paintings or individual sessions.
Currently, I charge per design; the more detailed it is, the more I charge as it takes more time. I ask for a budget you are willing to work with between $75-$200 and I will provide 3 sketches; one low end, mid, and high end of your price range. Keep in mind, I will custom design each piece of art and will go by any theme/ character/ idea you have.
The retainer fee is $50. Please keep in mind, this amount is taken out of your total and IS NOT an additional fee.
The remaining balance is due after completion of service. For ease, I can send an invoice to pay with a card, or I can take cash, check, or Venmo.
I usually accept after completion of service, but yes, I can accept full payment for your event prior to the day of.
