Please read this before booking a tattoo appointment.

 

Hi! I am a predominantly self trained artist. I am Blood Born Pathogen Certified and use single-use, disposable components.

I currently have a flat rate $150 per hour for flash and custom pieces. All sessions require a $50 deposit before the appointment is made, which will go towards total appointment time. Please do not submit a deposit before I have responded to your inquiry and have given you the green light. Rescheduling the appointment time is allowed until two days before the appointment to avoid loosing the deposit. Except in the case of emergencies, if you no show or cancel the appointment within 48 hours of our session time then the deposit is forfeited and you will have to pay a new deposit to reclaim a flash piece and book a new appointment.

My work is primarily high contrast, or fine line and stippling with black ink. I have a limited color pallet and would be glad to brainstorm color options with you as color fills or stippled shading.

I currently do tattoo pieces primarily with machine but have almost a decade of experience doing hand poked pieces and am willing to discuss that as an option. Understand that if you are requesting a hand poked piece it could take 2 to 4 times longer to finish the piece depending on the complexity of the design.

Preparing for an appointment

Please shave the area to be tattooed before arriving. Exfoliating is a great idea too. Wear clothing that makes it easy to access the place to be tattooed.

Touch ups are free for the first year after the original appointment. Just email me a photo of the healed piece and I’ll prioritize an appointment time with you.

I will respond to your inquiry by email. My email responses typically go to the spam folder so make sure to check there if you haven’t heard from me within a few days.

Tattoo Inquiries

If you are emailing to inquire about a tattoo appointment, please include as much detail about what you are looking for as possible, the size in inches, placement ideas, your pronouns, and special needs.

A flash or custom appointment is not confirmed until I have responded and accepted your request and you have paid a deposit.

For events and other inquiries please include the best ways and times to contact you.
