FAQ

What is your rate?

 - My rate is $170 per hour based on of size, placement and the amount of detail.  I am more than happy to work with anyone’s budget and if your tattoo happens to take 2-3 appointments we can arrange a payment plan.  

What do you like to tattoo?

- Florals, plants, bugs and animals - mandalas, geometric and dot-work tattoos - text and script tattoos - minimalism and fine-line tattoos.

Blackwork/black and grey tattoos are preferred, will accept some minimal color projects.

How do I inquire about custom work?

- I love being able to tailor my artwork specifically to fit my client’s bodies.  Ideally I’d like to meet in-person for a consultation before your appointment so that we can be on the same page.  If you are traveling from out-of-state or communicating remotely, all I ask is that you be as detailed as possible in your initial inquiry.  Please include things like size, placement and any specific details you are envisioning for your future piece. Please also don’t be afraid to include any reference photos you may have collected while envisioning your new tattoo, this really helps me get an idea of what kind of work your eye is drawn to.  

Do you do coverups? 

- I do; they’re actually one of my specialties! I take on all coverup projects on a case by case basis and am more than happy to discuss all of your options.  

Do you charge a deposit?

- 1 - 4 hour tattoos require a $50 deposit, 4+ hour tattoos require a $100 deposit. Deposits are non-refundable and will be included into the final price of your tattoo session.  You will not be officially scheduled until your deposit is received - If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so with at least 48-72 hours notice so that I have ample time to fill your appointment time slot.
