how do i book with you?

right on this website! click the booking form button and it'll lead you to the page. sending in a form does not guarantee that your form will be accepted, but i will try my best to fit most people in! i do not book through dms, any messages sent through instagram dms will be directed to the booking form.

how much do you charge?

my pieces are charged at a rate of $250/hour with a $300 minimum, as well as a $100 non-refundable deposit required ahead of time, with budget flexibility reserved for returning clients and longer sessions. full day sessions (~8 hours +1 hr lunch break & $200 deposit) will run around $1500+ depending on a piece by piece basis. deposits go towards your final total, and serve as a commitment to your appointment, and the time/resources spent preparing. an appointment is not confirmed until a deposit is made. i do not charge for your entire time in the studio, just for tattooing, so don't feel like you have to avoid asking for a break or replacing a stencil multiple times!!

as i learn and grow, prices will continue to reflect my work, especially due to the intricate nature of my style. fine line tattoos take time and patience, which means most tattoos can be anywhere from 3-5 hours. the longer a piece is (5+ hrs), the more leeway there is with budgets that might not match my rate, i don't wanna break your bank. i will almost always try to work with a budget. however, at the end of the day i still have a shop to run, so please be reasonable. 

deposits are nonrefundable and nontransferable. your deposit is only valid for 2 reschedules. any more and i will have to ask you to put in another deposit. any cancellations/rescheduling must be done at least 72 hours in advance. any no shows without any sort of communication will result in no longer being able to book with me in the future. in any case of an emergency, i will reach out to you whenever i can, and will hope you do the same. for privacy reasons, the address will only be given once an appointment is scheduled.

how far ahead do you book?

my schedule can get kinda crazy so my books are open periodically to schedule only the month or two ahead. appointment dates and times are chosen by you on a first come first serve basis after a request is accepted. sometimes i’ll also have space for last-minute appointments that will be posted on my story!

is it okay if i’m a little early/late for my appointment?

i would prefer you to be only 5-10 minutes early over something like 20-30. i take the time right before your appointment to set-up and prepare for the upcoming piece. my days are usually placed with back to back pieces, and the short time in between is allowed for me to decompress and take a mental pause. in terms of being late, as long as you keep me updated, i won't have a problem. however, anyone over 30 minutes late without any notice will lose their appointment. 

can i get a flash piece you’ve already tattooed?

most of my flash is repeatable unless stated otherwise. unless it's something way to complex for me to want to do twice or i just get sick of it, but it doesn't hurt to ask if you're unsure whether or not it's possible!

can i use numbing cream?

depending on the piece, i'd love to discuss! i used to say yes, but with recent news and personal experience in how it heals, i'd like to be more on the cautious side before anything. if we do decide on numbing cream together i’d be happy to help with recommendations :) please do not take any painkillers before your appointment, as many of them contain blood-thinning agents. if you would like to use numbing cream, please do not drink any coffee/caffeinated drinks as it can cause heart palpitations, or worse.

do i need to tip?

tipping is not required but it is appreciated! a good range is anywhere between 10-30% :) i also accept other things as a tip! ceramics, prints, coffee, plants/propagations, little trinkets, etc.

what forms of payment do you take?

I prefer taking payments with card through square or zelle/venmo, but any digital forms of payment are usually accepted! transactions taken through square have a 3.5% processing fee. (please don't give me cash, i don't drive and i will never take my ass to the bank)

do you do color tattoos?

yes! i would love to do more color! i offer color tests for anyone who books for a color tattoo.

do you do trades?

of course:) i’ll literally trade anything from art to haircuts! i can’t guarantee i’ll take everything for a trade, but shoot me a dm and we can work it out.

can i get a touch-up?

yes! i will give free touch-ups for life. send over a dm and a couple of well-lit pictures, and i’ll fit you in for a touch-up if necessary.

how can i prepare for my appointment?

eat well, hydrate, and get a good night’s rest beforehand. make sure to come exfoliated, clean and moisturized (please wear deodorant)! bring water, little snacks, chargers, anything you might need while getting tattooed. make sure to get to your appointment on time, and shoot me a dm if you get lost and/or are running late! (sending me an eta would also be lovely!)
