Frequently Asked Questions

CUSTOM WORK

Tattoo time is charged at $150/hr. Time starts when we start tattooing and ends when we finish tattooing. Prep, stenciling, pictures, bandaging, aftercare discussion, etc. are not included in the time you are charged for. Design and drawing time is factored into my rate and is not an additional charge.

I have a 1 hour ($150) minimum regardless of how small or quick the tattoo is. (This covers my setup/teardown time as well as my materials.)

For larger, multiple session designs please keep in mind I like to finish them within 3-9 months to ensure that my style doesn't change too much and the idea stays fresh in my mind.

If your are interested in getting custom work done by me, please fill out my inquiry form.

FLASH/PRE-DRAWN

Tattoo designs from my flash sheets and all of my pre-drawn designs are priced at discounted flat rates which can be seen in the service list on my booking page.

Flash sheets and pre-drawn designs can be viewed on my Instagram highlights labeled "Flash/Pre-drawn".

Flash and pre-drawn designs can be booked at any time from my online booking link, no consultation necessary.

In addition to my personal flash designs, I also have flash books at the shop with hundreds of designs to choose from, covering a wide variety of themes. These designs are also available at a discounted flat rate. You're welcome to come in and browse through them, and I can provide you with a quote once you've found something you like!

A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment. The deposit is not additional; it goes toward the total cost of your tattoo.

A minimum of 48 hours notice is required to reschedule an appointment. If less than 48 hours notice is given, the deposit will be forfeited and another deposit will be required to book a new appointment. However, I understand that people get sick, emergencies happen, etc. so please just be open and honest with me and I will try to work with you 🙂

Cancellations and no-shows result in an automatic forfeit of the deposit.

The deposit may also be forfeited in the event that I draw for you and you decide not to get the tattoo or want a complete design change or total redesign.

If you've found a design you would like tattooed, I am happy to draw up a custom design based off your photos. I will not copy someone else's design; however, I am willing to tattoo designs that I have permission to use, such as purchased flash designs.

Please keep in mind I don't tattoo all styles and subject matter. I specialize in full color tattoos with bold black outlines. Be sure to look over my portfolio before booking to get an idea of the style I typically work in.

I occasionally take on coverups and reworks, it just depends on what you have going on and whether I think I am able to accomplish what you are after in a way that we will both be happy with!

As for adding onto/finishing another artist's tattoo, in most cases I will not take on a project like this and I recommend booking with the original artist.

Yes, this is totally fine! Our nearby cozy lounge area has a chair and loveseat that can accommodate any adult guests you would like to bring to make you feel more comfortable! (Please do not bring children.)

FOR DEPOSITS

You will be prompted to pay your deposit via debit/credit card for flash/pre-drawn tattoos when you book online through Fresha. For custom work, once I input your appointment into my calendar you will receive an email from Fresha providing a link for you to confirm your appointment and pay your deposit via debit/credit card.

FOR THE TATTOO

I accept Venmo, Cashapp, PayPal, and CASH. I can accept debit/credit cards, but you will be charged a 3% fee on top of the cost of the tattoo.

Tattoo prep do's and dont's as well as what to expect on the day of your appointment can be found here.

My tattoo aftercare instructions can be found here.

If you are at all unfamiliar with tattoo aftercare, I recommend you read this prior to booking your tattoo so you know what to expect.

I guarantee my tattoos, and under most circumstances I will provide one touch up, free of charge, no more than 6 months from your appointment, after inspection of your tattoo.

Not every tattoo needs a touch up.

If a touch up is needed due to improper aftercare you will be responsible for the cost.

Coverup tattoos, as well as tattoos done on the hands, feet, or face, are not guaranteed and you are responsible for the cost of any touchups needed.

I will contact you (usually within 72 hours) via your preferred method of contact. If I think that I am the right artist for you, I will give you a price estimate and we will decide on a date and time for your tattoo.

Once I input your appointment into my calendar you will receive an email from Fresha providing a link for you to confirm your appointment and pay your deposit via debit/credit card.

I may need to take a template of the area, in which case we will schedule a time for you to come into the shop before your tattoo appointment. This usually takes less than 15 minutes.

I will have a completed, fully colored design ready for you to see a couple days before your appointment. If you have clearly communicated your idea during the consultation phase and have chosen me to design your tattoo based on the work you have seen from me, you will likely love your design! However, if there are any small changes or adjustments that you would like to be made please don't hesitate to let me know as soon as possible! Any major changes (example: change/addition of subject matter) may be subject to a reschedule and forfeit of deposit.
