✿ AVAILABILITY ✿

I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays! I can make an exception on other days, though it is not guaranteed.

New requests are accepted all year, but available slots are released in two-month cycles (Jan-Feb, March-Apr, May-June, July-Aug, Sept-Oct, Nov-Dec). 

✿ PRICING ✿

I currently use an hourly rate of $150/hr (and $140/hr on requests sent before September 1st 2025) to provide a fixed price range that is determined by size, detail, color and placement. This means that I will give a minimum-maximum price based on how long I believe the tattoo should take (not including designing, stenciling, taking breaks, etc.). If we go overtime, I do not charge over the maximum quote unless it is a significant difference, and only if my client is comfortable and able. My minimum is $100. 

Below is a rough outline, but prices may overlap and vary widely per design. Please note that color and shaded tattoos, as well as challenging placements such as torso, spine, hands, etc. can take 2-3 times longer. 

• Small (<2 in) - $100-200, approx. tattooing time: 1 hr
• Medium (<4 in) - $200-400, approx. tattooing time: 2.5 hrs
• Large (<6 in) - $350-600, approx. tattooing time: 4 hrs
• X-Large (6+ in) - $600-800, approx. tattooing time: 5.5 hrs

Projects $800+ are typically recommended as multisession projects. 

While these are my general prices, I am always happy to work with your budget and change the design to fit your needs.

No transactions are facilitated through DMs, text or email and are all done through my booking form and in-person. On the day of your appointment, your final payment can be made through Zelle, Venmo (do not mark as a service) or cash. Other payment methods can be considered only if necessary. 

✿ BOOKING REQUEST ✿

Bookings are done through Porter where you can submit a request. Once I review your request, I will provide you with a quote and you will receive access to my calendar where you can reserve a date with a deposit. 

If you do not hear back after two weeks from submitting your request, please DM me on Instagram as I may have missed your submission or there are issues with my or your method of contact. 

✿ DEPOSIT ✿

The deposit is $100, not including booking form processing fees (~$7). After your request is approved, please be ready to send your deposit immediately to secure your appointment. The deposit will go towards the total price of your tattoo and is non-refundable. If you are booking a multi-session piece, your deposit will be applied to the last session. 

✿ CANCELLATIONS ✿

Reschedules are allowed up to 48 hours before your appointment. The same appointment can be moved up to 2 times. A new deposit is required if you reschedule more than twice or are rescheduling too close to the appointment date. 

No call no shows result in you forfeiting your deposit and you may be blacklisted. You will need to send a new deposit to book again.

✿ PREPARATION ✿

Exfoliate and moisturize daily at least 3 days before your appointment. Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before or after your session and get a good night's sleep the night before. It is not necessary to shave, we can do that for you! 

✿ DAY-OF APPOINTMENT ✿

Bring your driver's license or a valid form of ID. Eat and hydrate before your appointment. Snacks and drinks are allowed inside. Dress accordingly; make sure the area is accessible and do not wear nice clothing in case of ink stains. If you get cold easily, I recommend bringing a zip-up jacket, socks, and/or a light blanket. You are welcome to bring other comfort items such as headphones to help make your experience as relaxing as possible. 

It is not necessary to arrive more than 5 minutes ahead of your appointment, but do arrive on time. Being more than 15 minutes late may result in a late fee of $50 or cancellation due to lack of time, but letting me know as soon as you are running late is always helpful.

Please let me know if you would like me to mask or if you prefer a quiet, no-talking session. We do have curtains for more privacy and provide pasties if needed for upper torso/chest tattoos; stress balls are also available per request! There is a bathroom in the back as well as a waiting area at the front of the shop for guests. 1-2 guests welcome.

Please prepare the rest of your payment for the end of the appointment. Tips are never expected but always appreciated! 

✿ DESIGN ✿

I do not copy other artists' work unless they have provided you written permission/a tattoo ticket, or if it is a pop culture reference. All other requests will be redrawn in my style. 

I do not send designs beforehand, unless specifically requested, to protect my time and my art, but a rough sketch may be sent if it is a larger or more experimental piece. If you do request a preview, it will be sent 1-2 days before the appointment as customs can take time and I focus my energy on whoever's appointment is next, even if you book months in advance. I automatically include buffer time to all my appointments so that we have at least 30 minutes to tweak the design and make small adjustments on the day-of. If changes are substantial, I may recommend rescheduling, cancelling or discuss charging a drawing fee of $50. 

✿ REMINDERS ✿

Please be aware that I am a beginner tattoo artist and still honing my skills and techniques through each of my appointments. In order to do my best work for you, your session will likely be longer than expected. Please plan accordingly and do not schedule other important things immediately after your appointment.

If you are feeling sick ahead or on the day of your appointment, please do not come in and message me to reschedule. 

I am always available to answer questions after your appointment regarding healing and aftercare; do not hesitate to reach out via Porter or DMs on Instagram.

✿ TOUCH-UPS ✿

Tattoos done by me come with free touch ups as soon as it is fully healed. Certain tattoos will have a limited amount of touch-ups and I will mention that to you if so. You do not need to submit a new booking form; please DM me on Instagram and I will schedule you in. 

✿ BANDAGE CARE ✿

Second skin/clear bandage (also known as Saniderm or Dermshield)

• Leave on for no more than 3 days
• Water-resistant and you can take showers with it
• Ink bubbles and blurring under the bandage is normal as long as it isn't leaking
• Peeling at the edges of bandage is normal as long as the tattoo is not exposed
• If it falls off early, do not attempt to re-bandage or wrap in saran wrap; just start your aftercare immediately
• Remove under warm running water or in the shower
• Remove by slowly stretching the bandage and pulling parallel to the skin
• Take bandage off immediately if you notice leaking, peeling that exposes the tattoo, or redness and inflammation around the border of the bandage (allergic reaction)

Spray bandage 

• Leave it alone and don't do anything to it for 2 days
• Your body will break down the bandage on its own and you can start aftercare on the third day
• The bandage will peel (like Elmer's glue) in any non-tattooed areas and is normal
• Spray bandage can be drying to the skin which is normal. When starting aftercare, you can apply moisturizer more often, but still keep the layers light and breathable

Saran wrap/baby pad bandage

• Leave on until you plan to go to bed or up to max 4 hours
• Remove gently and begin aftercare
• Wear loose clothing that you're okay with getting stained in case the tattoo weeps (oozes ink and plasma from blood) in your sleep. This applies to your bedsheets and blankets as well

✿ AFTERCARE ✿

• Wash twice a day with unscented, antibacterial soap or a gentle face cleanser (no bar soap)
• Let it air dry or pat dry with a paper towel (no bath towels)
• Apply a light amount of unscented moisturizer/lotion (Cerave, Cetaphil, Lubriderm, Aveeno, etc.)
• Repeat for at least 2 weeks

✿ TIPS ✿

These tips should be applied to the minimum first two weeks of healing:

• Wear loose clothing to avoid rubbing against tattoo
• Avoid intense work outs or movement  
• Avoid showering with very hot water
• Do not submerge underwater
• Keep tattoo out of direct sunlight by wearing loose clothing over it
• Do not apply sunscreen until scabbing/flaking is complete
• Do not scratch or pick at the scabs
• Ice your tattoo to relieve itching
• Overall, treat it gently and keep it clean

Do not panic if you notice your tattoo has healed patchy or faded; this can easily be fixed with a touch up appointment which is generally quick! It is recommended you wait for the tattoo to fully heal (at least one month) before touching up.

✿ NOTICE ✿

If you notice any abnormalties during your healing, please let me know and schedule to see a doctor as soon as possible. Tenderness, soreness and mild warmth during the first few days of healing is normal, but should not include the following symptoms which indicate an infection: 

• Excessive and worsening pain
• Hot to the touch
• Thick/oozing pus
• Foul odor
