BOOKING INFO
TRAVELING CUSTOMERS ESPECIALLY: The majority of my customers are from out of state (beyond WA) and it’s rarely, but still sometimes, the expectation/ assumption that I finish large projects in order to accommodate someones travels. PLEASE KNOW THIS IS NOT REALITY. While I do work extremely fast this does not come with the guarantee that I will be able to complete some projects within the 4 hour window for your appointment.
I have a family who relies on me to be present, as well as multiple projects per week to be attentive to. We can always try to schedule multiple days in a row if returning for more sessions is not possible but just try to be understanding if something is unable to be completed in the time allowed. Im relaying this information because there has been one too many people in the past that feel entitled to my time because they chose to travel from a great distance to be tattooed by me.
Please also purchase travel insurance incase there is some kind of emergency or illness and I am unable to tattoo you. This way you are able to reschedule your travel arrangements in this worst case scenario!
TATTOO PROCESS
I do not provide any drawings prior to the day of your appointment. Unless i miss something major in the design, no changes will be made to the artwork that I provide when you show up. Please only be married to most of your subject matter and not necessarily to the arrangement you may have in your head. Even then sometimes I am not able to fit all of what you asked for into a tattoo. I will try my best to communicate this when designing, but sometimes am not able to until you show up. My ultimate goal is for you to love your new tattoo, and will always try my best to accommodate your requests into the design. Sometimes things need to be left out in order to keep a design readable and able to last throughout the years.
CONSULTATIONS: I do not do consultations prior to an appointment unless I think for some reason we need to! I design the tattoo based off of the reference photos you send in your submission form, and the description you send me. The form eliminates the need for consults for the most part. If I need to see you and go over the design in person, I will let you know via email or text.
BUDGET: The budget does not necessarily mean that’s what the tattoo will cost, it just gives me an idea of whether or not what you are asking for will line up with what it will take monetarily. If I think a budget is too low for what is being asked for, I will always communicate it up front prior to booking. If its not an issue just write “open budget” or “any”.
I WILL NOT TATTOO YOU IF: you are pregnant, on antibiotics, blood thinners, smashed, faded, obliterated, fast as fuckm racist, sexist, stinky, actively pooping, a baby, a teenager, an escapee from a mental hospital, a murderer, a murdered person, the person whole stole my car, a graphic designer, or against doctors orders.
I DO ALLOW THE USE OF NUMBING CREAM PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER: Numbing creams can sometimes lead to more difficult and poor healing of tattoos as well as allergic reactions.. I will not be held responsible for any kind of health complications due to your use of a numbing cream. I recommend not using them if you don’t absolutely have to.
TOUCH UPS don’t cost anything except for your time, and are encouraged when your tattoo heals but needs some attention. Patchy black areas, lines that didn’t go in completely solid, or colors that didn’t fully make it into the tattoo are common examples of when a touch up would be needed. Customers will not be charged for touch ups unless it is caused by their own negligence (which is usually NOT the case). I won’t typically do touch ups on old tattoos for the sake of updating them or making them look fresh again. Just let them get old with you!
cost & what to expect
PREFERRED METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE CASH OR CARD. I ALSO ACCEPT APPLE PAY, OR VENMO.
-A 5% FEE IS ADDED TO CARD TRANSACTIONS
My hourly rate is $250 per hour for cash or $275 p/h for card. I tattoo fast provided that the customer allows me to and doesnt move around too much, or keep having me stop to grab their phone, a beer, a shoe to kill a spider, brush their hair, brush their teeth, do a dance, or try to learn to fly an airplane during the appointment.
Due to the varying circumstance of every tattoo, I am unable to provide an estimate of time or cost for a specific project. if you are unsure of how much cash to bring just bring enough to cover a 4 hour session ($1000) and your tattoo will fall within that amount. I will always try my best to work within your predetermined budget, and will let you know ahead of time if I don’t think a budget will fit with what you are asking for. I work very fast, and take breaks every hour or so. At that time you’ll be able to stretch, run around, smoke a smoke, eat a snack, etc.
DEPOSITS: Deposits will come out of the cost of the tattoo upon completion. Deposits are completely non refundable/ non transferable to another person other than who the appointment was made for. If you need to reschedule just LET ME KNOW WITH AT LEAST ONE WEEK NOTICE.
NO-SHOWS: If you have multiple deposits paid, and “no-show” one of your appointments, all of your deposits will be forfeit and you will need to put down a new payment up front to rebook.
CHANGE OF PLANS: If for any reason you no longer able to or wish to be tattooed please just ask to reschedule or ask to use your deposit to cover getting a small tattoo instead. I hate to ever keep a payment without working for it and I am totally willing to hold a deposit (for up to one year) until you are able to get the work done or make it work out somehow else in your favor!
All deposits are non refundable.
YOU MUST PROVIDE ATLEAST ONE WEEK NOTICE IN ORDER TO RESCHEDULE AND KEEP THE DEPOSIT ROLLING TOWARD THE NEW APPOINTMENT.
LARGE SCALE TATTOOS: Will likely be worked on over multiple sessions. How much gets done at once depends on the day. Please try to not be late! Unless i’m going to be late, then that changes everything and you can do whatever you want! Go skydiving into a pool of bowling balls!
Some tattoos take an hour or two longer/ shoter than expected so please be sure to not have any immediate obligations that could interfere with your appointment. THIS INCLUDES TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.
WAIT LIST
A lot of people ask if they can get on a cancellation list or wait list for my next availability. unfortunately I do not have either. Anytime I get a cancellation I will fill it with a project I am currently working on or take the time off to spend with my family. If you wish to be notified for when my booking opens again, please follow me on Instagram and turn on post notifications to stay up to date!
