  • Deposits are Non-refundable but DO count towards the final price of your tattoo. Deposits are collected to protect the time I invest in preparing for each appointment, including designing custom artwork, setting up equipment, and allocating a specific time slot. Deposits help compensate for this time if a client cancels or doesn't show up.

  • Cash preferred but cards are accepted

  • Please do not use numbing cream when booking with me. Many artists will allow numbing cream. I would prefer not to deal with the unpredictability of it. Numbing cream contains ingredients that constricts the cells making it harder for the lidocaine to flow out of the area. It also makes it harder to push ink between those skin cells making it more difficult to saturate. When you apply numbing cream to the skin, it can create a barrier that reduces the skin's permeability. This means that the ink may not penetrate the skin as easily or deeply as it would without the numbing cream. As a result, I haves to work twice as hard to saturate the skin, leading to potentially longer tattoo sessions or the need for more passes over the same area.

  • Yup! Just send an appointment request here to start the process.

  • Of course! For full transparency, my tattoo rates are split on commission with the shop. So tips are always appreciated greatly.

  • Everyone’s definition of “hurt” is different because everyone feels pain differently. I promise to do everything I can to make you as comfortable as possible.

  • Tattoo pricing varies depending on the tattoo. My minimum is $100.

    Custom work smaller than palm sized $100-$200

    Palm sized $250-$350

    Hand sized $400-$600

    Larger multiple session pieces are priced by a session rate. Session rates will be discussed when discussing your design idea during your consultation.

    I will typically provide a discount for flash and pre-drawn designs.

  • There is no additional charge for custom drawing. However, you will need to leave a deposit before the I will start on the piece. If I do a drawing and you do not get tattooed, the deposit goes towards the my drawing time. Otherwise, the deposit goes towards the overall total of the tattoo.

  • I do not send designs beforehand. This is to avoid back and forth changes and let's me focus on one tattoo design at a time instead of working on multiple different client's designs playing the "back and forth" game with revisions. I am happy to spend any time the day of your appointment to make changes to the design in person so we can effectively communicate about the changes you'd like to make. This also protects my time and art from being taken to another artist at another shop.

  • I do free touch-ups within the first year of getting the tattoo. I do not offer free touch ups for tattoos on hands, fingers, or feet.

  • Any health problem that weakens your immune system such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS etc. may potentially make your healing much slower or impossible.  Furthermore, if you were to get an infection, it could be much more difficult to deal with.

  • If you are sunburned, I will not be able to tattoo you until it is completely healed.
