Policy + info

This is my 9th year tattooing, looking forward to many more <3 I am hand poke only

My books are always open and I take submissions on a regular basis. My booking form can be found at the bottom of this page

Typically I only book appointments for the current month +1 or 2 months in advance.  Any last minute openings will be posted to my Instagram story and filled on a first come first served basis

Client requirements

You must be 18+ with a valid government issued ID. You cannot be under the influence of drugs or alcohol or be pregnant or nursing. It is very important that you thoroughly communicate allergies or medical conditions prior to your appointment (ex: fear of needles, prone to fainting and/or seizures, etc.) 

Appointments+Deposits

In order to secure your appointment I require a non-refundable $100 security deposit. This deposit goes towards the final cost of your tattoo and is only transferable to another appointment with at least 48 hours notice. Please do your best to avoid rescheduling but if necessary one reschedule is allowed per deposit, after that a new deposit will be required. Your deposit will hold for six months, if you are unable to reschedule within six months I will ask for a new deposit upon booking.

If you are feeling sick in any way I do not want to tattoo you! This can also affect how your body heals the tattoo so it is important that you reschedule.

If you no call no show, I will not be able to book you again.

Late policy

If you are 20+ minutes late to your appointment your deposit will be forfeited and you’ll be at risk of losing your appointment. If I can no longer tattoo you that day, a new deposit will be required to reschedule. 

Flash

I prefer to tattoo flash or modified flash as this feels most authentic to my style. There are two ways to book a flash appointment. You can let me know which design(s) you’re interested in before booking or you can choose flash on the day of your appointment. If you prefer to choose on the day I’ll need to know a general size range or if you’re wanting multiple pieces in one session. I have a flash book that you’ll have time to look through at the start of your appointment. My book has drawings from the last couple years and I'm always open to layering, collaging or modifying flash pieces. I would like to start moving away from repeating designs, but elements within designs may be repeated. 

Customs

I don’t typically take on custom work but if you have a project in mind you feel would fit within my range of work, you are welcome to submit a form. If I’m not interested in your suggestion I would still love to tattoo you so please let me know in your form if you would like to hear back from me for a flash appointment.

If I accept your custom I charge a $75 drawing fee that will be required to book your appointment in addition to the deposit. I do not send out drawings. I draw all customs at the time of the appointment and any minor changes can be made then. It is best to be as specific as possible about your idea or to be open minded if you are allowing me full creative freedom. Major changes such as shift in concept or changes that go over an hour of draw time will require an additional $75 drawing fee. If you are someone who is very particular, indecisive or likes to see the design in advance, I would not recommend booking a custom tattoo with me. 

Rates

My minimum for a tattoo session is $250. This covers the first hour or anything under an hour, after that I charge $150 per hour. My hourly rate starts when we begin the placement process or modifying flash. This includes the process of deciding between multiple designs if I'm printing or stenciling multiple flash pieces for you to try out. 

Studio Etiquette+Guest Policy

Please come alone to your appointment unless an aid is needed for medical/accessibility assistance.

Minors and pets (except for service animals) are not allowed in the studio. 

Touch ups

I offer courtesy touch ups at my own discretion. To inquire for a touch up please email me a photo of your tattoo in natural lighting so I can see how the tattoo has healed
