NOTICE: Covid-19
- Due to the surge in infections, a negative PCR or rapid test is REQUIRED for your appointment.

- If your test is positive, we will reschedule.
- If I do not receive your test results prior to the appointment, we will reschedule.
General
- My work focuses on tattoos and tattooing as fine art. I create work in my own style only.
- I am a self-taught, Filipino/African-American, transgender, nonbinary femme tattoo artist.
- "Flash" = pre-drawn artwork designed and tattooed by me.
- All tattoos are done by hand with brand new sterile tattoo needles without a tattoo machine (“handpoke” "stick and poke" "machine-free tattooing").
- You must be at least 18 years of age on the date of your appointment to be tattooed.
- A government-issued photo ID is required. If you do not have your ID, you cannot be tattooed.
Rates
- All pricing is in USD. All pricing is subject to change at any time.
- Up to 1 hour: $300; after that $300 per hour (pro rata) maximum 4 hours
- Full day session: $1200 (4 hours)
- Deposit is dependent on the size/quote of the design you want. (Minimum $200)
- Placement on the body will change the rate. Areas of the body more difficult to stretch (stomach, neck, ribs, etc) will advise a higher price for difficulty and time consumption.
- Tattoos that will take longer than 4 hours will be split into multiple sessions.
- You can schedule an appointment to get more than one tattoo! List an accurate budget so I know how much time to set aside for the appointment.
- I will do my best to provide you a quote referencing the amount of time we need to complete your project, but I ask you to be flexible since we will not know the final price until your tattoo is complete.
FLASH: PRE-DRAWN DESIGNS
My flash designs are now repeatable! Lots of subject matter, size ranges, and everything is available in color and black and white, your choice. Cute squishy animals and tiny objects look great as solo "stitckers" or as gap fillers in bigger collections. This time, most of my flash is sized 1-3" and generally round or oval-shaped. The minimum size is 1".
What is minimum size?
- This is the smallest possible size the design can be tattooed. This ensures that the design will be legible after years of healing and takes into consideration fading and softening of lines and details.
- The smallest designs are 1" (2.5cm)
- Not all designs can be scaled to 1".
MINIMUM SIZE AND BUDGET/TIME
- 1" ........ These are the simplest designs and can take 30-45 minutes to complete. ($300)
- 1~2" .... approx 1-1.5 hours ($300-450)
- 2~3" .... approx 2-2.5 hours ($600-$750)
- Complex designs take 3.5-4 hours ($1050-$1200)
- You can book a full day (4 hours, $1200) if you want multiple tattoos. The amount due is prorated if the session is less than 4 hours.
