General Policies

Booking

i accept bookings through both my booking form & instagram dms & typically respond to booking requests bimonthly so expect a message from me within 2 weeks of submitting in order to confirm your appointment’s date & deposit. (please indicate your preferred method of communication if booking through form) that being said if you do not hear from me within a month of submitting your booking form please dm me through instagram.

Pricing

shop minimum is $100.

the average price of my tattoos range from $150 - $500. Pricing varies based on size, placement, and detail. If pricing is a concern, please ask for an estimate prior to booking. what matters most is that you are able to get a piece that you love and i don’t want pricing to get in the way of that. i work hard to ensure that i am able to make the price of my work both fair to myself as an artist & to you as a client.

flash tends to be cheaper than customs, as i need to factor in the time and labor it takes to create your design.

if any MAJOR last minute adjustments are asked to be made to the design less than 48 hours prior to your appointment a $50 drawing fee will be added to total cost.

major adjustments to flash typically result in the total being $100 more than any previously stated flash price.

Deposits

a non-refundable deposit is required when booking.

deposits range from $50 - $100 and go toward the total price of the piece.

i accept deposits through zelle and venmo. please make sure not to include anything related to tattooing in your transaction.

Rescheduling

all appointments require at least a 48 hour notice in order to reschedule, otherwise your deposit will be forfeited and you will need to place another non-refundable deposit in order to re-book.

in the case of any sort of emergency please contact me!!! above all else i want to make sure you are safe and understand that sometimes life happens.

late fees

if you are more than 30 minutes late to the appointment, a 15% late fee will be added to the price of the session. i often schedule multiple sessions per day and if i am not able to begin the appointment on time, this covers the added labor of rescheduling any following appointments.

Guests

unfortunately due to a lack of space in our shop we do not recommend bringing a guest to your appointment. however, we want you to feel as safe and comfortable during your session as possible so if you’d like to bring one guest please let me know when booking. our current studio set up allows for one guest at a time and we often have multiple artists working so notice is required to make sure we can accommodate your needs.

Aftercare

treat your tattoo like an open wound. keep it clean & dry and refrain from touching it. wash your tattoo 1-2 times a day with unscented soap and pat it dry with a paper towel. (towels tend to carry more bacteria) do not apply lotion to your tattoo until it becomes dry and itchy, then apply a chapstick-thin layer of a lightweight unscented lotion once a day or as needed. try not to exercise heavily for the first couple days following your appointment. do not swim or expose your tattoo to sunlight until it is completely healed. when in doubt just leave it alone & allow your tattoo to heal itself.

most tattoos heal approximately two weeks after the appointment. heavy blackwork tends to take longer to complete healing. if you receive a heavy blackwork tattoo and experience it raising and/or flaking during the healing process do not fret! that is perfectly normal. just make sure you do not pick off the flaking and allow it to heal on its own. you will know that your tattoo is healed once it is no longer raised from the skin or itchy.

i do not typically provide second skin at my appointments because of the high percentage of negative reactions i’ve seen during my time tattooing. you will typically leave your appointment wrapped with cling wrap and are free to remove it when you get home. i typically recommend you wash and dry your tattoo and sleep in darker clothing or re-wrap with clean cling wrap before going to bed to avoid any ink or plasma staining your sheets.
