Frequently Asked Questions

  • -I price hourly for most work. Cost is based on factors such as supplies, size, style, level of detail, and placement (i.e. ribs, chest, hips, back, stomach are more difficult and time consuming placements, thus costing more than arms and legs). Upon booking, you may request a time estimate.

    Hourly rate: $165 an hour

    -For sessions shorter than 1 hour, I price by piece. Cost will generally range from $100-$165

    ​-Cash only for tattoos priced under $400.

    Card accepted for tattoos that come to $400 total and over, 3% card user service fees apply. 

  • Once we have consulted via email or in person and have chosen a date, I will send you the deposit link which is a secure checkout through Square. This is the only way I take deposits. Your deposit is your appointment placeholder - without it, I do not draw & I do not put you into my calendar! Deposits will range from $100-$200 depending on the size and duration of the tattoo/appointment. They are non refundable, but do go toward your total cost! I allow 1 roll-over, meaning if you have to re-schedule, as long as you contact me within 48 hours of your appointment, I will push it to the new slot for no additional fee. Similarly, if I call out for any reason, I will not charge a new deposit and will roll your existing deposit to a new date.

  • My schedule is oriented so that I draw 1-3 nights before your appointment! I do NOT send drafts ahead of time. Simply put, I am lucky enough that my clients keep me very busy - I do not have time to send drafts and revisions back and forth between my time spent tattooing, drawing, consults and admin work. I rely on our email conversations or in-person consultation to guide my art making process and love taking that time to get to know you and your vision! You will get to see the design the day of your appointment. If you want to make any minor changes, as long as they would sit within a 20 minute window, I am always more than happy to do so! If our visions are way off, we can use the time to re-consult. Your deposit will be forfeited to cover my drawing fee, and you will be required to place a new one to secure your next appointment. 

  • Wear something comfy that you don’t mind getting dirty. Sweatpants, loose-fitting clothing that can be easily rolled up and moved out of the way. Shorts if we are doing an upper thigh, and lace-up bikinis with a zip up sweatshirt are perfect for torso and hip tattoos! Clean socks and shoes for ankles & feet.

  • You can bring drinks, snacks, a blanket and pillow, electronics and chargers - whatever you need to feel comfy.

    Don’t forget your ID for paperwork!

  • Get a good nights sleep, eat a big meal high and carbs and protein, and don’t forget to hydrate!

    It also helps to moisturize the are we are tattooing regularly for a few weeks before hand!

  • Yes! One guest is permitted to sit and watch. I get a little overwhelmed with a crowd, and you may too while you’re sitting there being poked with needles, so lets keep it small and intimate :)
