Hourly rate is $150 an hour

Flash pieces are individually priced at a flat rate.

Minimum is $100

My clock starts once we begin applying the stencil. Breaks have been included and factored into the hourly rate. Please arrive ready to be tattooed!

Every person, regardless of whether or not they have been tattooed before, will need an in person consultation before each piece. During the consultation we will go over your idea, present reference photos, talk about budget, take measurements, and get you in the system as a client. From this consult we can then book you for your piece!  This will be required for every new tattoo you book, regardless of how many times you’ve been tattooed by me!

A non-refundable $100 deposit is required for ALL appointments. This deposit comes off the price of your tattoo day of or last session if it is a multi-sessional piece. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to reschedule your appointment and deposit. I allow up to two reschedules before the deposit is forfeited. If you are sick, please email me asap to reschedule your appointment! I understand not everyone will be well enough to reschedule that day, but I do not hold deposits indefinitely. Please reschedule at your soonest convenience. In the untimely event I or my child falls ill, I will reach out to you via email/phone call and reschedule. Your deposit is still valid, and you will be given top priority rescheduling.
Deposits are expected to move forward with the booking process proceeding your consultation appointment. No one enters the books without an in person consultation and a deposit!

If for some reason you cannot make your appointment, please reach out asap. This way I can free up that time space to offer it to someone else. If you ghost your appointment, you will be required to place a deposit of 50% of the time block. Two no call no shows will result in termination of you as a client. There are no exceptions. I take my time seriously for all my clients and I ask they do the same. This isn’t a hobby, this is my livlihood and how I feed my family. I ask for open communication that you can expect from me as well. 

Reference photos help me understand your vision, but please do not ask me to replicate or steal another artists work. Ultimately I will design something custom for you that no one else has. Stealing other artists work is tacky and getting someone else’s tattoo on you is weird.

If you like my work then you will like what I have designed!
I do not send drawings out ahead of time. This prevents theft and also give me the opportunity to explain the design in person. This ensures we are all on the same page. Rarely, a client may want their design tweaked. Seeing the design day of also allows us to make any changes necessary. We will never start until you are completely happy!

Concept changes need to be discussed before your appointment. I book out for the time needed to complete the originally agreed design, and concept changes could alter the time needed to complete your piece. If you have booked out a full day and the design change was not communicated before the appointment time, you will forfeit your deposit in exchange for the time wasted. This ensures I am being compensated for the time that was booked out for you and any drawing time that was done in my spare time. A new $100 deposit will be required to reschedule. 

Before booking, ensure that you know exactly what you want. This way we can avoid canceling and rescheduling or loss of deposit.

While I do custom work, I also have a book of predrawn, ready to go designs. Each piece has a fixed size and location it fits best on. These designs are already drawn up, usually with a color concept laid out. With these designs there are no changes to the concept as these are usually portfolio specific pieces. 

Each piece will be at a flat price, no matter how long it takes.

Please show up to your appointment time as scheduled. (Not 30 minutes before, not 30 minutes after) If you are running late, please call the shop to notify me! After 20 minutes late with no notice, I treat it as a no call no show. 

When prepping for your appointment, eat a nutritious meal prior to arriving. Bring a sugary snack or drink to help you through the tattoo process. Do not apply any sort of numbing cream to the area without communicating with me first. Please dress accordingly to your appointment. Save your favorite outfit for another day as ink splatter can happen. I also need easy access to the area that I am to tattoo. If you are unsure of what to wear, let me know! I do my best to help keep your modesty but please keep this in mind when requesting tattoos close to intimate areas. 

I follow all guidelines in place by the state of Florida and Citrus County Health Department. As it states, all minors must obtain a notary form and have that form signed and sealed by a notary with their legal guardian present. This must be done PRIOR to the appointment. 

Come appointment time, all minors must bring a valid ID along with their guardian that is on the notary form with their valid ID (ex. If mom’s name is on the form, mom must show in person to the appointment, bring her ID and stay the duration. Dad cannot sub out as his name is not on the form) There are absolutely no exceptions. 

I do not tattoo minors necks, hands, or intimate areas.

While never required, they let us know of a job well done, like all service jobs. Tattooing is no different. Industry standard is roughly 15-25% of the total cost of the tattoo. Your deposit goes towards the total cost of the tattoo day of or off the last session if its a multisession piece. It is NOT a separate fee. If you want to tip industry standard, it’s the whole amount you paid, not just the remaining balance! 

However, this is purely a tattooed collector’s standard. Any and ALL tips (including ones that aren’t monetary) are very much appreciated!

I’m a mom to an energetic 2 year old. For that reasons I currently have no solid travel plans for 2022. Please check back soon as I hope to start traveling again!
