Q: What are your rates?
Rate - $125 per hour
Minimum - $100
Pricing will depend on size, detail, area of the body etc. for this reason it is hard for me to give accurate pricing estimates online. I am able to give you a rough estimate (2 to 4 hours) but this price is not guaranteed.
I only charge for actual tattoo time, I do not charge for time during breaks, set up, freehand/drawing, design changes etc.
Please note that any estimates I give may change at the appointment depending on changes in size, placement, etc. If you have a specific budget, please let me know in advance.
Q: Do you require a deposit?
Yes I require $50 deposit for every appointment. This deposit is non refundable.
The deposit goes towards the cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo is more than one session, the deposit will roll over and be applied to the final session.
Your appointment is not confirmed or booked until the deposit has been paid.
Rescheduling must be done 48 hrs in advance in order for your deposit to roll over. After 2 reschedules you will be required to pay a new deposit. Late cancellation and no shows will forfeit their deposit.
Deposits will only be held for 6 months from your original appointment date, after that a new deposit will be required to book.
Q: How do I book an appointment with you?
To book an appointment with me, you can fill out my booking form through the link in my instagram bio. All correspondence regarding appointments will be via email after that.
Please note that it is a REQUEST form and does not guarantee you an appointment. Unfortunately, I can not fulfill each request and will decline proposals that do not align with my current style/interest/portfolio focus.
Please keep an eye on your EMAIL for an approval notice, all contact for bookings will be done via email.
Q: What is your availability?
I book appointments Tuesday-Saturday only.
My appointments start between 12pm-6:00pm.
If your tattoo is larger/very detailed I recommend booking earlier so we have as much time as possible to work on it.
Q: Do you do consultations?
Yes, I offer in person or virtual consultations, once you've already booked an appointment!
Consultations are only available with a booked appointment.
Q: Can my tattoo be broken up into sessions?
Yes! Tattoos can be broken up into sessions, but I prefer to finish them in one if possible.
If you are booking a large piece that will need multiple sessions I recommend you book 2 appointments to start, you will only need to pay one deposit.
I will hold my pricing for 6 months, after that your additional session(s) will be at my current rates if they have changed.
Q: Can I change my tattoo idea after I book?
If you want to completely change your tattoo, you must resubmit a new booking form at least 1 week before your appointment.
However, I approved your appointment based on your first submission, so if you completely change the design then your new submission is subject to denial, if it does not fit my current focus in my portfolio.
I will of course accept small changes to the design, such as adding or removing certain aspects.
Q: Do you send your designs/sketches in advance?
No, I do not show any of my designs until our scheduled appointment time. (Flash not included). This is my policy, it is to protect my art that I work very hard on, and I do not make exceptions.
I do have an option to have an in-person, or virtual consultation, which can be booked along with your appointment.
While I understand it can feel nerve wracking to not see the design in advance, I always leave plenty of time at the beginning of your appointment to ensure we can make any edits you want!
Q: Do you offer touch ups?
Yes I offer one free touch up, within 1 year of your original appointment. Anything after 1 year will be at my regular rate.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash only for appointments, and Venmo or Zelle for deposits. We have an atm available at the shop if needed.
Q: Can I bring a friend with me to my appointment?
Sure! You are welcome to bring 1-2 people with you to your appointment.
Q: I haven't gotten a response to my booking request yet?
If my books are currently open and you don’t get a response within 4 days, please DM me and resend your booking request. If my books are currently closed then I am not accepting any new booking requests at the moment, please wait until my books open to send a request or it will not be seen.
I respond to every booking request, even if your request is declined you will still get an email with recommendations for other artists.
Other info
All of my tattoos are custom pieces designed by me. I do not tattoo other artists work, no exceptions.
I have limited availability so I do give priority to unique ideas, pieces that fit with my current style goal, and larger pieces.
I am booking black and grey, realism and traditional black and color tattoos. I may accept other styles depending on what it is.
If you book one of my flash, I will only hold the flash design for 3 months from your original appointment date if rescheduling.
How to prepare for your appointment
Please make sure you are well hydrated, well rested, and have eaten before your tattoo appointment.
No alcohol or blood thinning medications (e.g. ibuprofen, asprin, alieve, warfin) at least 24 hrs before your appointment.
Let me know if you are on a time constraint, I typically only do one appointment per day to give you my full attention for that day.
Aftercare instructions
Here is the full aftercare routine that I repeat to each client….
Wash your new tattoo 2x daily with unscented, antibacterial hand soap (Recommended: Dial gold). Continue this for 14 days following your appointment. Moisturize your tattoo with a thin layer of gentle, unscented lotion (Recommended: Lubriderm).
DO NOT pick/scratch your healing tattoo!!
NO swimming, bathtubs, sunbathing, or excessive sweating for at least 2 weeks. Once your tattoo is healed, make sure to wear SPF on your tattoo to help reduce premature aging and fading.
