THE PROCESS / FAQ
-
BOOKING
I typically book 3-4 months at a time. I am open to booking further out appointments but prefer to keep most of my work within a close time frame. This way artwork and communication can maintain a personal approach. Consultations and/or artwork meetings are always free of charge.
I do require a NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $200-$500 on tattoo bookings, depending on size & complexity. This means that once we meet and decide to book a tattoo we will begin working on artwork for your tattoo and deposit will be taken.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL A DEPOSIT BE REFUNDED
IF AN APPOINTMENT IS MISSED WITHOUT NOTICE THE DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEIT.
IF MULTIPLE APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED THE DEPOSIT WILL BE CREDITED ONCE COMPLETE.
I am understanding and will always try to honor a deposit however I do ask to give me AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE to rebook or cancel.

CHARGING
My rate for tattooing is $200 per hour and can usually give quotes on tattoos once a clear design has been established.
I charge flat rates for flash/pre made designs with quotes based per the design, size and placement.
My full day rate (8 HRS) for one client is $1500.
My MINIMUM charge is one hour or $200
I am always willing to discuss budgets, planning of appointments around finances and other accommodations. I do understand that tattoos are an expensive luxury item, however I request that you please keep in mind this is my way of life and that my time and energy has value.
Tips are always appreciated but not required.

HEALING
Healing of your tattoo will take about 2 weeks. If your tattoo requires multiple appointments I will only book after 2 weeks of healing minimum and will only continue work once healed. Every tattoo and every person heals differently so I will always go over aftercare individually, taking work and life into account. As always listen to your artist since the outcome of a tattoo is largely dependent on HOW WELL you take care of your tattoo.
Touch ups of tattoos are sometimes needed and I do not charge for them as I see it as a service on completed work. HOWEVER, if you mistreat your tattoo, do not take care of it or choose to not follow aftercare I cannot offer free touch ups…. We can tell so don’t mess around. This is on you for life so take care of it.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT REACH OUT TO ME.
questions are ok and I’m always available to offer answers and help where I can.
