No surprises here, let’s talk about it.

I’m here for any questions you have but here you’ll find information about my process from booking to aftercare, pricing and policies.

The Tattoo Process

  • Dream it.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you know exactly what you want and how you want it. Maybe you need a little help solidifying an idea. I am here to help in any way I can. Book a consultation with me to get the process started. Once I have a clear vision of what you’d like, I’ll offer available appointment times. You can usually expect anywhere from a 4 to 6 week lead on my schedule.

    I do require a $50 deposit to begin the drawing process and secure your tattoo appointment. However, the deposit is deducted from the final cost the day of the tattoo. The deposit shows me you are serious about working together, you value my time designing your piece and you will show up at our agreed up appointment time and date. You can read more about my deposit policies below.

  • Design it.

    The fun part. You and I will work together to create a design you absolutely love. Before your appointment date, I ask for as much information about your idea as possible to minimize changes and get us to a perfect drawing more efficiently. This can look like a check list, reference images, doodles, collages, etc. or even an in-person consultation.

    I place a high value on the sustainability of your tattoo as you age considering things like size, placement, level of detail, etc. Therefore I may advise toward or away from certain aspects of your tattoo but I will always explain why and we can adjust to your satisfaction.

  • Love it.

    The day of your appointment, be sure to eat well before you arrive, wear comfy clothes with easy access to the area being tattooed, and feel free to bring anything you may need to feel your best (headphones, water, snacks, etc.).

    We will begin your appointment with a check-in, reviewing your design, sizing your stencil & making sure placement is perfect. I only charge for tattoo time to make sure we both have the time necessary to feel our best during this process.

    Once complete, I will clean, photograph and bandage your tattoo. You will be sent home with clear aftercare instructions but I am always available to answer any questions before, during or after the tattoo.

Pricing

I currently only offer an hourly rate of $200/ hour. This is for tattoo time only, I do not charge you for the time needed for prep, stenciling or breaks. I currently do not offer half day or full day rates. Your $50 appointment deposit will be deducted from the total of your tattoo upon the day of completion.

I am always happy to work within budgets or break bigger projects up to make them more cost effective for you. Don’t let the cost keep you from the tattoo you really want, let’s talk about a plan for you.

Should you require major design changes the day of your appointment, I may charge for extra drawing time. This is why clear communication during the design process is essential.

Payment

Cash, card and Venmo are all accepted forms of payment, however, cash is preferred.

Appointment deposits can be sent via Venmo or my secure Square payment link.
