My minimum price for a session is $250. This covers the first hour or anything under. After that I reference a rate of $100-$150 per hour.
-
I post drawings on Instagram and I have a flash book with my most recent work from the past two years. You’ll have time to browse through it at the start of your appointment. I'm always open to layering, collaging or modifying flash pieces.
-
I’m open to repeating certain flash, however I would like to start moving away from repeats (especially designs from over two years ago). Elements within designs may be repeated and I’m always open to modifications.
-
I don’t typically take on custom projects, but if you have an idea in mind that aligns with my work you’re welcome to submit a form and I’ll get back to you if I’m interested. If I’m not interested in your suggestion I would still love to tattoo you so please let me know in your form if you would like to hear back from me for a flash appointment. **more info on customs here

I don’t do custom cover-ups, however if there’s a flash piece you would like to cover an existing tattoo with I’m happy to do it!

A tattoo is always going to hurt on some level, but in my experience handpoke is more gentle than machine made tattoos. This of course varies based on the artists’ hand and style of work, but as someone with a light hand and delicate work, I’m often told my tattoos hurt much less than anticipated.

Drink lots of water and make sure to moisturize your skin in the weeks before your tattoo. Dry skin is harder to tattoo and can lead to areas of the tattoo fading or falling out
Be mindful of sun exposure. If you have a sunburn it is important that you reschedule or change tattoo placement. Your tattoo will need healthy, undamaged skin to heal properly. Same goes for cuts, scrapes, or any sort of skin irritation
Get plenty of sleep the night before and come to your appointment well rested. Do not come to your appointment hungover, it can effect how your skin reacts and mess with the healing process.
Eat a solid meal on the day of your appointment. There will be snacks at the studio but it helps to have food in your stomach.
Dress for the tattoo placement. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the area you're getting tattooed. For example, if you’re getting a chest piece, wear a loose button-up; for a thigh tattoo, wear shorts. There are pasties at the studio if needed.
-
If you’re both getting tattoos, yes! Otherwise clients are required to come to their appointment alone unless an aid is needed for medical/accessibility assistance.
-
Check your spam folder! Sometimes my emails end up there. If you don’t hear back after submitting a form it is likely because I didn’t have availability on the dates requested, the custom idea did not align with my current work, or the form/idea was unclear.
-
Cash is always appreciated but I also take Venmo, Zelle and PayPal. I cannot accept debit or credit cards.
-
Yes! Like any service, 10-20% is greatly appreciated, but not required. Many artists pay a portion of what they make to their shop, so this can help cover any shop fees.
-
I do! If you’d like to be notified when I’m coming to your city you can fill out my travel waitlist and you’ll get an e-mail for priority booking.
