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, and I am excited to interpret your idea or concept.
- I am a self-taught, Filipino/African-American, transgender, nonbinary femme tattoo artist.
- "Flash" = pre-drawn artwork designed and tattooed by me. Unless otherwise stated, no design will be repeated on another customer.
- 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.
- One-time drawing fee for custom work: $250
- The rate is $300 per hour, max 4 hours per session.
- Deposit is $550 TOTAL.
- 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.
- 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.
Booking Process
- After the form has been submitted, I will correspond with you via email to confirm the project. Please note that I will not be able to accept every proposal submitted. Please note that due to the volume of forms I may not be able to respond to everyone.
- A deposit of $550 is required to hold your appointment date and time.
- $250.00 of your deposit is a ONE-TIME DRAWING FEE and $300.00 of your deposit covers the first hour of tattooing.
- Your $300.00 deposit will be applied to the amount due for your FINAL tattoo session.
- Deposits may be submitted via PayPal only. Your appointment will not be held until the deposit is received and confirmed. If you wish to pay with a credit card, you can connect your credit card to your PayPal account.
- You will receive the deposit information after we have agreed on the project and are ready to secure your appointment.
- After your appointment is secured, you will receive a reminder email a few days prior to your appointment including the location of the studio.
- Payment is due at the time service is rendered at your appointment.
- I accept cash and PayPal as payment types at your appointment.
Proposals for Custom Work
- This custom booking period is open. This means I don't have limitations on subject matter, color vs black and gray, size, or location. I usually tattoo cute animals, plants, and sometimes objects in my drawing style.
- Please clearly describe your idea in the proposal section. Please be concise about the subject matter of the work, the size, location, and color (or lack thereof). Please withhold information that is ambiguous in interpretation.
- If your proposal is accepted, you will go through the booking process indicated in your email. Please note that all custom drawings will be revealed on the day of your tattoo; a small adjustment can be requested, but a full revision may push back your appointment and incur an additional drawing fee. If you are unsure about your custom design, it may be best to book a session for pre-drawn flash.
- Lastly, please be decisive about what you’re looking for. Be sure you’re ready for this tattoo. Be clear in your communication, and flexible during the tattooing process.
