I have an incredibly difficult time keeping up with emails. I will follow up with you about your tattoo idea in as little as one day — or sometimes up to two weeks.

I will probably follow up with you via text message or phone call since the majority of my emails are getting re-directed to spam folders. Thank you so much for your continued support and allowing me to do something that I love.

General Info

  • Please visit my instagram page to make sure your ideas align with my style of tattooing.

  • The final price of the tattoo is based on size, complexity, and placement. I will give a price range estimate after we discuss your ideas, but a more accurate estimate can be made once the final design is agreed upon.

  • If you have a budget, please be sure to include that in the tattoo description. I am happy to work within a budget.

  • Most tattoos that I do are completed in one to three sessions.

  • If I don’t think I am the right fit for your project, please don’t take it personally. This isn’t a personal exchange. I am more apt to accept ideas that will allow me the freedom to create.

  • I do not tattoo minors. I do not tattoo fingers. I do not tattoo the inside of lips.

Cost and Time

  • I do not accept credit card/debit cards. I only accept cash for payment

  • My hourly rate for all tattoos is $200 per hour and any large scale pieces will be priced out per hour. Smaller, one session tattoos will be priced “per piece”

  • Cancellations and reschedules within 48 hours of your appointment time and your deposit will be forfeited. Deposits are non-refundable and not transferrable

  • Session times are approximately 3 to 4 hours.

  • Some tattoos take a bit longer than expected so please be sure to not have any immediate obligations that could interfere with your appointment.

  • Please bring snacks with you. I usually take a 5 to 10 minute break every 1.5 to 2 hours.
