Custom booking steps:

✴︎After you send me a booking request, please allow up to 7 days for my response.

✴︎Once I get all information and get back to you about appointment length and pricing, you will be directed to my availability calendar to schedule online.

PLEASE READ FAQ/INFO BELOW BEFORE BOOKING!

By clicking "Request Booking", you are acknowledging that you have read through and understand all of the information listed on each tab below. Policies apply to every appointment.

Request Booking

The pricing of your tattoo will depend on size, detail, color, and placement. I will provide an estimate range for you before you schedule your appointment. I only provide pricing estimates through booking requests (never through DMs).

My rate is $200 an hour tattooing.

(breaks are free).

Please keep in mind that our shop minimum is $100 per person per session.

Ballpark Estimates (ranges heavily on design):

small tattoos 2x2 to 3x3in:

$200-500

medium tattoos 3x3to 5x5in:

$300-$1000

large tattoos 5x5in+:

$900+, will need multiple sessions.

Estimates rely heavily on the design/details and techniques needed for that particular look. If you have a firm budget, let me know directly and we can discuss possible ways to adjust or simplify the design for a quicker appointment to fit your budget. I do my best to work within budgets but keep in mind any last minute changes or unexpected issues may result in pricing adjustments.

Deposit:

Deposits are $100 per person (plus ~7% service fees). They are non-refundable and $100 goes towards the price of your tattoo. Your appointment will officially be on the schedule only after the full deposit is received.

Multi-session tattoos:

For multi-session projects, each session will be payed in full at the end of the appointment.

The deposit will be payed at the beginning and counts towards the last appointment.

Consultations:

I offer free consults for first tattoos, large projects, cover ups, and scar coverups. You can include in the tattoo description if you would like to schedule a consult, or I will reach out if I feel that I need a consult before designing for your specific project.

Scars must be healed 6 months to multiple years depending on how deep the wound went into the skin, to avoid risk of further damage.

Flash:

You can see my available flash designs here or through the "Request Booking" button.

If the design you want is taken, I may be able to draw a new design that is similar but still unique - send me a screenshot of the design you would like me to emulate.

most of my flash is non-repeatable (unless otherwise labelled).

Customs:

I'm available for custom designs as well! Please be as detailed as you can in your description, or let me know explicitly if you'd like to leave anything up to me. Please include reference/inspo pics to point me in the right direction.

Please DO NOT AI generate your idea. I much prefer messy doodles! It helps me better understand whats important to you, rather than parse through extra detail.

I prioritize designs in the styles I work best in. If I feel that another artist would be better suited for your design, I will refer you to them instead.

I prioritize Black & grey tattoos, sometimes with pops of color. I don't always accept full color tattoo requests.

Color tattoos can show up differently for everyone. Certain colors may not show up well depending on skin tone. For darker skin tones, I will discuss the best options for color with you before confirming booking.

I will not copy other artists' exact designs— unless you are the artist, or you have written permission (e.g. tattoo ticket from original artist). Some exceptions include some popular media/characters, historical references, or artworks past copyright protection (70 years past the original artists' death).

I can always take inspiration from the artworks you send, and draw my own version in my style.

I do not send custom designs prior to the appointment day to protect my artwork.

I understand you may have some anxieties about not seeing the design—I always schedule extra time at the beginning of the appointment to go over the design and make any adjustments together in person.

I will not tattoo you unless you are 100% certain! If the design is not to your liking, we can always reschedule after going over it in person. However, drawing fee may be applied for full redraws.

Rescheduling/Cancellations:

You can reschedule up to 2 times, up to 48 hours before your appointment. The deposit is non-refundable, but can still be used towards the tattoo if the appointment is rescheduled more than 48 hours in advance. If it is less than 48 hour notice, you reschedule more than twice, or if you cancel the appointment, the deposit will be forfeited and you must make a new deposit to make another appointment.

For appointments with no deposit (touch ups, consults): Rescheduling less than 48 hours in advance, more than 2 times, or a last minute cancellation will require $50 payment to make another appointment.

Some situations may be exempt from this rule (e.g. sickness, emergencies etc) so please contact me as soon as you know you cannot make it at the original time.

Day of:

One guest is allowed to sit by us during the tattoo. If there are any more guests, they can wait at the front waiting area. We have lots of games and movies up front.

Some changes to the design can be made. But if changes requested day of are significant, a $50 drawing fee may be added. If changes are too complex or I need to fully redraw the design, the appointment may need to be rescheduled due to lack of time.

Please message me as soon as you know you may be late. Being more than 15 minutes late may result in a $50 late fee +possible rescheduling/cancellation due to lack of time.

Accommodations:

Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to request any accommodations, or need more information to make sure you are safe and comfortable at your appointment. We can provide any measurements/info of the space to accommodate any mobility aids/other medical devices.

Touch ups:

Sometimes tattoos can heal lighter or patchier than planned. If this happens, you can book a free touch up appointment by contacting me! Must be at least 3 weeks after the original appointment. Free touch ups only apply to my own work. First touch ups on work done by me is always free.

If more than one touch up is needed, any touch ups within 1 year of the tattoo date are also free.

However, hand/feet tattoos have a maximum of 2 free touch ups total per tattoo.

Additional touch ups outside above criteria are $30 per appointment.

I DO NOT TATTOO: Palms, Bottoms of feet, genitals, inside mouth, eyelids.

For at least three days leading up to your appointment, please exfoliate and moisturize the area you want your tattoo! This helps to make sure the tattooing and healing process goes smoothly.

Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours before your tattoo. Alcohol is a blood thinner and can cause complications with the tattoo process.

Do not take ibuprofen (advil) as it thins blood as well.

Do not drink more caffeine than you do on a typical day. A little is ok for daily caffeine drinkers, but any extra thins your blood, as well as causes jitters/ more discomfort and frequent breaks.

I cannot tattoo the area if you are sunburnt or if there is acne/ an active rash of any kind as these all pose a serious infection risk. If you are concerned or unsure about risks with medical conditions you have/medications you are taking with regards to getting a tattoo, please consult with your doctor before booking.

Please make sure to eat and drink water before your appointment!! Wear clothing that is comfortable and allows easy access to the tattoo area. Tattoo ink stains clothing permanently- I will try my best to not get it on your clothing, but please don't wear anything valuable to you just in case.

Please come sober and well rested. Bring a drink, snacks, and earbuds or a book/something to do if you'd like.

It's best to block out lots of time for the day. tattoos can't be rushed. be sure you don't have time sensitive plans for immediately after your tattoo appointment.

Things that can make your tattoo extra painful:

- not getting enough sleep

- sore muscles in the area of the tattoo

- being hungry

- being under the weather

The below aftercare printout will be handed to you at the end of your appointment!

NORMAL HEALING:

- weeping plasma/ink mixture for the first day or so

(with the sticky bandage this looks "blobby"/spreading)

- warm to the touch for a few days

- redness and/or swelling in the area that slowly subsides

- sensitive to touch/movement

- starts itching a couple days in

- starts peeling/ flakes off slowly

SEE A DOCTOR IF:

- oozing any pus/ any milky, thick, or foul smelling liquid

- bumps or nodules on your skin (sometimes contain pus)

- stinging or burning pain

- excess/spreading redness

- pain that worsens after the first few days

- fever/ chills/ sweats

Absorbent pad bandage:

For anyone with extra allergies or sensitivities, we can also use an absorbent pad on the day of instead of the two bandage types mentioned above.

Keep this bandage on for 2-4 hours. Take off gently and wash well with gentle fragrance free soap and your fingertips and rinse well.

For the first night, you can apply a new bandage before going to bed to prevent your tattoo leakage from staining your bedsheets. I will provide you with a clean replacement. To apply: After washing, air dry or pat dry with paper towel, apply a thick layer moisturizer or ointment, then secure the bandage.

From day 2, follow the bottom half of the aftercare guide (THIN layers of moisturizer from here on)

Deposits are typically through card payment online through the booking platform.

If paying in person, it can be taken through Zelle, Venmo, or cash.

At the appointment, we accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card. There is a 3.5% processing fee for card transactions.

As soon as we begin tattooing, you are agreeing to pay the remaining balance for the session IN FULL before you leave.

Tips are greatly appreciated, but never required. it lets me know you had a good experience ☺︎

I also love gift tips, trinkets, food, drinks. But little to no caffeine for me please!

I always appreciate healed photos. Thank you!
