All offerings are ceremonially held. This includes altarwork, grounding practices such as breathwork and guided meditation, herbal accomplices in the form of tea infusions or herbal smoke. For deepening of ceremony and ancestral::place-based connection, storywork and mythopoetic tattoos are available. Explore Offerings In-Depth here.
I enjoy working with black, brown, blue, and red ink. Use of handpoke, machine, for mixed methods depend on the piece, intentions, placement, and size.
Storywork Session
Storywork sessions engage earth-based ritual practices to unveil and untangle body-myths and re-connect you to sources of rooted, relational, being. They are the foundation to invoke a mythopoetic tatu or can be held separately. We may explore themes of grief, belonging, ancestral connection, dreamwork, individual and collective entanglements, sources of generative power, and more. You may choose from Mula Sa Binhi (Creation Myth) or Four Directions (Generative Power) containers, or request a custom. I enjoy holding sessions outdoors amongst trees and wild things to root directly with soil and source. Virtual options and accommodations available for travel.
Available Channeled Designs
Channeled with reverence to collective creative spirits. I invite you to sit with their poetic intentions and weave them with your own. These sessions are held ceremonially. They can optionally be paired with a storywork session to deepen the experience.
Mythopoetic Tatu Session (Intuitive Tattoo Ritual)
This is a 2-part offering of storywork and ceremonial tatu. Guided by your storywork myth, an intuitive design is created.
Custom Tatu Session
If you have an intention or story you would like to in(k)voke, but do not feel called to a full mythopoetic tatu session, this offering is for you. I design customs for specific part(s) of the vessel (your body), and channel your intentions throughout the creation process. Be as detailed as possible while filling out my form, so I can get a sense of you and your energetics. Pictures of body placement ideas is also helpful.

Energy Exchange
Pricing is sliding scale in solidarity with economic justice. Before ceremony I provide you with a time and cost estimate based off of a $100-150/hr rate, placement, size, technique, your budget, and color using the framework below. I utilize the Green Bottle theory by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. Full payment occurs after the tattoo is finished. I accept cash only (besides deposit). Updated March 2025.
- Available Channeled Designs: $150 minimum, $75 non-refundable deposit. Each design will have a minimum size/price. Includes ~15 minutes of grounding and medi(tea)tion before the tatu.
- Custom: $200 minimum, inclusive of $50 drawing fee and $50 non-refundable deposit. Includes ~15 minutes of grounding and medi(tea)tion before the tatu.
- Mythopoetic Tatu: Starts at $555, with $150 deposit, non-refundable after storywork session. 2 sessions. First, 65-minute storywork session to invoke the intuitive tatu design, then, the half-day tatu ceremony (45mins mythopoetic invocation and altarwork and ~3.5 hours of tattoo time). $100-150/hr after half-day.
- For reference, mythopoetic tattoo ceremonies are usually 4-6 hours in length. Exchange is generally in the $555-888 range, to allow freedom for intuitive design, placement, and size. I reserve a full day and we take time for rest and nourishment.
- Storywork: $111-144 sliding scale. 65-minute session.
- I am also interested in trades of goods/services. Email or dm me to inquire.
- Both monetary and gift-based tips are welcome but not expected. I am gluten, dairy, and meat free for reference hehe (fish ok!) <3
- Hourly time is only for the time tattooing. This way, we can take our time in ceremony, deciding on placement, and resting as needed.
