BOOKING INFO

  • OPEN BOOKS: When books are open this means that anyone who is interested in working with me will have a chance to submit a tattoo proposal for a project that they are wanting.

  • BOOKS CLOSED: When books are closed, unfortunately, this means that I am actively working on so many projects and am at my capacity to accept more work at this time. I am typically booked 6 months to a year in advance. Every now and then I get sporadic openings that I will announce on my Instagram stories.

  • WHEN WILL BOOKS OPEN: Take a look at my instagram bio for the most current info on when my books will open next! This time around I will be taking submission on April 1st until the 4th. I will get replies out by the 10th of April. Depending on the number of inquiries I will always try to respond to every submission.

  • HOW SOON CAN WE START: Availability and start date vary depending on how many projects are accepted, how many are already queued and how many are taken on during an open booking cycle. April booking will be for June-August appointments. dates go very fast, so when you receive your acceptance email book and pay the deposit so you can secure your date.

  • TRAVELING CUSTOMERS: Many of my customers are from out of state, and while I strive to work quickly, I cannot guarantee that large projects will be completed within the allotted time for your appointment. I offer multiple date appointments for those looking to tackle large projects with fewer trips. Please consider purchasing travel insurance to cover any emergencies or illnesses that may prevent me from tattooing you, allowing you to reschedule your travel plans if needed.

TATTOO PROCESS

  • I DO NOT PROVIDE DRAWINGS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.

  • NUMBIING: I have no problem with the use of numbing cream. The product I recommend is ZENSA and can be found online. When using this product apply it thick and then wrap with Saran Wrap to keep it from drying out on the skin. Leave wrapped for two hours prior to your appointment for maximum efficacy.

  • LENGTH of APPOINTMENT: Some tattoos take longer or shorter than we expect, so please ensure you have no immediate obligations, including travel.

  • CONSULTATIONS: I generally don’t conduct consultations before appointments unless necessary. Tattoos are designed using your submitted reference photos and descriptions, reducing the need for consults. I will notify you via email or text if a design review is required.

  • BUDGET: Your budget helps gauge if your request aligns with the expected cost. If I feel the budget is too low, I will communicate this before your appointment. Sleeves are a minimum of $3500 so keep this in mind when requesting large projects. If it’s not a concern, indicate “open budget” or “any.”

  • I will not tattoo you if you are: transphobic, racist, sexist, or just a general bigoted POS.

PAYMENT

PAYMENT METHODS ARE CARD OR CASH (NO VENMO, Etc.)

HOURLY RATE

-$260 per hour FOR CASH
-$260+3% per hour FOR CARD ($267.80)

ESTIMATES: Every tattoo is different, so it’s extremely difficult to provide an estimate. If you're not sure how much to bring, plan for a 5 hour session, which is $1300. I'll do my best to stay within your budget and will inform you at least before your appointment if your budget doesn't work for what you're asking. I work quickly and take breaks throughout the session. During these breaks, you can stretch, move around, go outside and smoke, or have a snack, etc.

DEPOSIT

  • $150 non-refundable deposit/retainer required to book

  • PLEASE PAY DEPOSIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BOOKING. If no deposit is paid within 24 hours your appointment will be canceled.

  • DEPOSITS are required to be made when your appointment is booked in order to secure the date. This policy helps ensure that all parties are committed and allows us to manage our schedules effectively. Please ensure that your deposit is submitted promptly to confirm your appointment time and avoid any potential delays or cancellations.

  • RESCHEDULE:You have until the start time of your appointment to notify me of needing to reschedule. All reschedules require an additional deposit within 24 hours. As long as you show up for the next booked date you will retain both deposits. If you are unable to attend once again, then you will unfortunately lose both deposits.

  • RESCHEDULING will move your appointment to the end of the booking period rather than mixed into the current lineup as there are usually no available dates at that point.

  • NO-SHOWS: Please remember that if you miss your appointment, without notice, you will lose any deposits or credits you have applied toward your tattoo.. All deposits, retainers, and prepayments are non-refundable.
