FAQs

How do I book an appointment?

My books are closed at the moment. I will make a post on Facebook and Instagram when I am ready to take on new appointments. You can stay updated by following me on either or both platforms!

I didn’t get a response back. Now what?

Due to the large amount of requests I receive, I cannot take on every project. If you do not hear from me within two weeks, it is unlikely that your idea was chosen. I do appreciate the time you took out to type and send me your idea/opportunity. Thank you thank you!

Do you have a waiting list?

I do not have a waiting list. I like to take projects on that will be scheduled to finish.

What do you charge?

My full day rate is $1500. A full day of work is around 5-7 hours of tattooing. My half day rate is $800. A half day of work is around 3-4 hours of tattooing. Smaller pieces are priced out by piece.

Do I need to leave a deposit?

I do require a non refundable $200 deposit per day to book an appointment. Ex. 3 days booked=$600 deposit. The deposit comes off the price of your tattoo for that day. I do require a 24 hour notice if you have to reschedule your appointment.

What kind of payments do you accept?

I accept cash or card payments.

What kind of work are you taking on?

I am focusing more towards bigger pieces. I do a lot of black and grey, expressive realism, portraits, flowers, but I’m open to most styles. I am not opposed to color. I will possibly take on smaller pieces wherever I can fit them into the schedule.

What is your design process?

After your request form is accepted, and the appointment is booked, I will reach out and chat with you about our appointment. We will discuss the information submitted along with any questions you or I may have. I do not design anything until the night before the appointment or the day of. I like working in the moment so the design/idea is fresh in my head. Depending on the style and design of the tattoo, there is also a chance I will draw the tattoo on your body with markers to get a better natural flow to fit with the flow of the part of your body I’m tattooing.

Do you do cover ups or reworks?

It all depends on what the existing tattoo looks like. It also depends on what the client wants to cover the existing tattoo with. I am ultimately open to these pieces if I feel the final product will be able to work as a cover.
