I currently have two separate rates for all custom tattoo requests.
For single sitting pieces, I charge by the piece. These pieces are typically less than 3 hour sittings. 

For larger projects or multiple session pieces, I charge a flat half and full date rate.
my half day rate is for 3-5 hours and my full day is 6-8 hours.
Half Day: $700

Full Day: $1,200

Under 3 hours: Priced individually

I am cash only! 

The deposit or drawing retainer is a $100.00 NON REFUNDABLE and NON TRANSFERABLE fee due in order to solidify your appointment. This covers all drawing time and is used to hold your blocked out appointment time. A minimum 24 hour notice is required to reschedule the appointment and honor the deposit. Failure to:

-Give 24 hours notice

-Give notice of late arrival of more than 20 minutes

-Not showing

-Changing concept

will result in a loss of deposit. To avoid the forfeiture of the retainer, please be certain of scheduling AND concept prior! All my drawing time is done outside of my working hours and well before the tattoo date!

When you arrive on time for your appointment, your deposit will go towards your tattoo price. Multi-session clients can roll over the deposit day of to a new appointment to continue to be scheduled. 

Please arrive on time, hydrated, fed and without an entourage. The private studio is small and as much as we love a good hangout session, our space cannot accommodate friends. Half and full day session clients are encouraged to pack a lunch. We have drinks and snacks available for your comfort! 

Please keep in mind I cannot tattoo over sunburnt/damaged skin. Keep the tattoo area sunburn, bruise and cut free. 

A valid governemnt issue photo ID is required EVERY time. I cannot accept pictures. 

No one under 18 is allowed inside the studio. NO EXCEPTIONS! 

To avoid any confusion, theft and back and forth, I do not send designs out ahead of time. I block enough time out for a design review and to potentially make tweaks day of. We will not start. Until you are 100% happy with the design. In rare cases, we will reschedule at no deposit penalty if we cannot reach a conclusion. 

All pre drawn designs are discounted flat prices and because of this will have no design changes and have strict color pallets and body placements. If you want to tweak one of my pre drawn designs, I’ll be more than happy to make a custom piece inspired by it, tailored to you! These will be at my regular rates.

After your tattoo session, you are to wash your hands thoroughly and then remove the wrap (if you were wrapped) Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap. I recommend a bar of sensitive skin dove. Be sure to wash the slick layer of glide and plasma. After washing, allow it to air dry for a good 10-15 minutes or pat dry with a paper towel. Do not use body towels as they harbor bacteria. Once dry, apply a pea sized amount of aftercare 1-2x daily. I recommend Eucerin or Lubriderm. Avoid products like aquaphor and A&D as they contain mostly petroleum. Continue this regiment of washing the tattoo 1-2x daily and applying aftercare once the tattoo is dry. Your tattoo will take roughly 4-6 weeks to be completely healed. During this time do not pick, scratch or bandage it. Allow your tattoo to breathe. Keep it out of the sun and avoid submerging it in water. If you need to cover it for any reason, loose clothing like a t-shirt or loose pants can be worn. If during the healing process you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out!

I guarantee all of my tattoos and offer one free touch up good from the date you received the tattoo. 

You may have noticed some changes to the booking process if you’ve been around for a while. I now use a booking software that works very similarly to my old intake form.

I currently use Venue Ink. When booking, this allows me to be able to not only text you through the software, but give you text reminders AND pay the deposit right from home. I may still request an in person consultation if I feel it would   benefit you. In those cases, cover ups and re-works will almost always require a separate, free in person appointment. The booking software does have a transaction fee for paying the tattoo balance. I recommend cash day of to avoid the fee.
