I am currently working at two shops. I'm at Full Circle Tattoo in San Diego and Bare Bones Tattoo in San Juan Capistrano
AVAILABILITY : I work Monday and Tuesday in San Diego and Thursday-Sunday in San Juan Capistrano. I can sometimes do Sundays in San Diego with enough notice. Weekend dates are always the first to book. If you can only do the weekend, it will most likely be a longer wait time. I usually will only book 2-3 months in advance, however if you have a special time frame that involves travel, please mention it in the NOTES section.
DEPOSIT: Once we agree on a date and time for your tattoo appointment, you will be required to pay a deposit. All deposits are $100. Deposits can be made through a Square link that I'll send you. Deposit payments are applied to the TOTAL cost of the tattoo session. The remaining balance is due in CASH or Square. If you need to use electronic payment, I accept credit and debit card, however you will be charged the CA tax, as well as the processing fee.
PRICING: I work hourly at $200, and my tattoo minimum is also $200 for appointments.
DESIGNS: For CUSTOM work, I do not show the design in advance. If a design needs to be adjusted, it is something we can figure out in person, before we start the tattoo. There are many reasons for this, but the main thing is to remember that I want to give you a tattoo you’ll LOVE. I've found that's it's much easier to make changes in person, where we can come to an agreement together.
IDEA CHANGES: If you book with me for a FLASH tattoo, but message me after booking and want CUSTOM work, we may need to move your appointment. If you book with me for a PANTHER tattoo, but then want a HORSESHOE, we may need to move your appointment. If you want to change your idea within 72 hours of your appointment, it will result in a loss of your deposit.
FLASH DESIGNS: I have a book with over 200 designs that I’ve drawn and I would love to tattoo them! It’s full of all the kinds of the things on my Instagram page like women, dragons, snakes, and skulls. I think that there is something in the book for everyone. The book is ever changing as I remove the things I tattoo and replace them with new designs. FOR FLASH TATTOO APPOINTMENTS, YOU MUST PICK THE DESIGN IN PERSON, THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT. I WILL NOT send photos of my designs prior to the appointment. It's much more fun, and much more old school that way. You may see something that you weren't even thinking of, but It was put in the book the night before. Or, maybe the thing you thought you wanted doesn't fit in the space you wanted to fill, so you go with one that fits nicer. For these reasons and many more, you must pick FLASH in person the day of the appointment.
GRATUITY: Tipping is not expected, but tipping is always appreciated. I give my all on every tattoo I do, if you want to tip me, I will be extremely grateful.
A WORD FROM ME:
I have been tattooing professionally for 12 years, and I’ve learned a lot about myself and my craft. My favorite clients are the ones that put their trust in me. I do my best work when the client says that they want me to "do my thing". I also like "loose" direction. So saying things like…
“I’m thinking a lady head with a dragon”
“I would like a tiger in your style somewhere on my leg”
“I just want you to do something on my back like a panther or a snake”
“I want some cool Flash!”
Those are examples of statements that mean we will be a good fit.
If you want to be pretty specific, that’s cool too, I can work with that.
If you want to be really, really specific, we will not be a good fit.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
PAYMENT: The remaining balance, once the tattoo is completed, is due in CASH. If you would like to use a debit or credit card, you will be required to pay the CA sales tax, as well as the card processing fee. If you would like an estimate on the price, feel free to request a quote in the notes section.
RESCHEDULING: I require 72 HOURS notice prior to the time of your appointment if you need to reschedule. Any changes to your appointment after this time will result in your deposit being forfeited. If you would still like to make a future appointment, a new deposit will be required. If something crazy has happened, please let me know with some detail and we can navigate that. "Day Before", “Night Before”, or “Day Of” cancellations will always result in a forfeit of your deposit.
CANCELLATIONS: If you want to cancel your appointment completely, without wanting to reschedule for the near future, your deposit will not be returned. If it is because of circumstances such as pregnancy, or something beyond your control, let me know with plenty of advance. *Please understand, if I don't know you, and you cancel the night before your appointment and say your car blew up, I have no way of knowing or verifying that you don't just have a hangover and don't want to come, so I will need to keep your deposit to recover some of my lost wages.
LATENESS or NO-SHOWS: If you are late by more than 15 minutes, it will affect how much time we have available. I charge for any time lost as a result of your being late. If you forget about your appointment or No-Show for any reason, your deposit will not be returned, and you will be required to pay a new deposit to reschedule.
*DEPOSITS ARE TATTOO ARTISTS ONLY WAY OF RECOVERING A PORTION OF THE LOST WAGE THAT WILL RESULT FROM A CANCELLATION THAT IS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.*
AFTER WE CONFIRM A DATE AND TIME, PLEASE PUT YOUR APPOINTMENTS DATE AND TIME IN YOUR CALENDER.
