I book 2 months out at a time. (ex. in January I accept bookings for Jan-Feb). Bookings for the incoming month generally open within the first week of each month (ex. February books open the first week of January).

With the exception of Flash Bash Tattoos I only accept bookings made through my booking form linked above on this page.

ONE GUEST ALLOWED
I’m totally fine with you bringing one single guest but If any of my coworkers ask me to clear the studio your guest will need to leave. There are cafes in the area I can recommend!

YOU MUST BE 18+ ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT
I won't tattoo you if you're under 18 regardless of whether or not you have parental permission.

BRING A FORM OF ID TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.
If you do not bring a form of official ID to your appointment, I can’t and won’t tattoo you.

DO NOT ARRIVE OVER 15 MINUTES EARLY OR OVER 20 MINUTES LATE
You have a 20 minute grace period before your appointment counts as a no-show.

FINAL PAYMENT IS CASH ONLY
Deposits can be paid by card but final payment in cash is strongly preferred. Partial cash and Zelle/Venmo payments are okay as well. There is an ATM in the lobby but it is not always reliable. Plan accordingly.

PRICING GUIDE:
Deposit: $200
Appointment minimum: $250
Customs over 3.5 inches: $400 minimum
Day rate: $1300
Your first touch-up after your initial appointment is free. After that point, additional touch-ups are $50-100.

I price by piece and in situations where I am unable to do that, I price by either my hourly ($200) or my full day rate ($1300). Most of the time the quote I reach out to you with will be what you can expect to pay. Please keep in mind that it is an estimate. If for some reason a tattoo takes significantly more or less time than estimated, it will change the final price.
I don’t do installment/delayed payments, so please bring enough for your payment on the day of.

The booking website that I use allows you to reschedule your appointment one time on your own. You should be able to find the link through your initial confirmation email.

You can reschedule your appointment up to 48 hours before the day of your appointment.

If you reschedule a second time, your initial deposit is forfeited and you will need to rebook with a new deposit.

If you reschedule or cancel within the 48 hour period before your appointment, your original deposit is forfeited and you will need to rebook with a new deposit.

If you no-show, your deposit is forfeited. You can rebook another appointment with a new deposit but if you no-show a second time, I will blacklist you.

If I am the one who reschedules or cancels our appointment for any reason, it doesn’t count towards the free-pass reschedule you get with your deposit. You will still be able to reschedule one time without needing to put down a new deposit.

DESIGN PROCESS:
For most customs I don’t send out designs ahead of time. I’ll ask for any necessary details over email in the days before your appointment and will show you your design options on the day of your appointment. I always take 30-60 minutes at the start to go over the design together and make any changes necessary. This 30-60 minute period functions as a consultation and edit round.

If your piece is open-ended or compositionally complex (ex. it has multiple elements in it) I will send you mockups a week before your appointment. You get 1 round of feedback over email and the 30-60 minute period at the beginning of the appointment. I will let you know if I feel that your design will need a mockup sent ahead of time.

LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS:
For large-scale projects (anything over 7 inches) or complex pieces (ex. large coverups/large gap filler pieces) I will have you do a consultation with me over Zoom or IG video chat.
I’ll let you know during the consultation what the timeline for booking sending out design drafts will be.

DESIGN EDITS:
If I have already sent you a mockup and you then ask for entire elements to be redrawn/a total redraw on the day of your appointment, an additional $50-100 design fee will be charged. I'll always let you know when that will be the case and will walk you through alternative options as well.

If I have not sent you a mockup/sketch before your appointment but you request a redraw of something entirely different or an entire additional element that wasn’t mentioned previously on the day of your appointment I will also charge an additional $50-$100 design fee.

You’re more than welcome to email me any thoughts you have on your design but know that I prefer to meet face-to-face to discuss changes. In my experience going back and forth about a design over email has caused avoidable miscommunications too often.

LAST NOTE:
It is totally fine to ask if you can have a mockup or design sent ahead of time but if I say no please DO NOT push further. This is non-negotiable. I understand that there can be anxiety around not seeing your design before your appointment but I will not make exceptions for that.
I will never make you get a tattoo of a design that you’re not happy with. If we can’t arrive at a design that feels good to us by the end of the 30-60 minute consult period you can always choose to not get the tattoo. I completely understand and won’t hold it against you.
If you’re not comfortable with this approach, I probably am not the right tattoo artist for you!
