BOOKING INFO
To submit a tattoo request please fill out the Jotform submission form on the CONTACT page.
Be sure to include all relevant information on the form.
PLEAST NOTE: The form is only available when my books are open. Follow me on instagram for updates about booking timeframes.
I usually book out 3-5 months in advance. Books usually open twice a year, in the spring and fall.
I do not keep a waitlist at this time.
RATE
My hourly rate is $180-200/hour, depending on the project.
My minimum charge for any custom design is $200.
I do not charge for drawing, set-up or consultation time, I use a timer during your session to calculate price- I only charge for chair time.
Note: especially for large pieces, it can difficult to know exactly how long a piece will take. I do my best to accommodate budgetary restrictions, but please understand that it is difficult to create an amazing piece of art in the skin if price is your deciding factor. If you are working within a specific budget please let me know so we can discuss further.
DEPOSIT
All appointments require a non-refundable $100 deposit, due at the time the appointment is booked. Please be ready to put your deposit down at the time of your consultation, or within 48 hours if booking online. If deposit is not paid within that timeframe, the appointment slot will not be held.
Deposit goes towards the overall price of the tattoo. Deposit will be applied to the final session of multiple-sitting pieces.
Note: your deposit and appointment time are based on the specific design concept that you submit. It can really throw a wrench in scheduling to change ideas after your appointment is booked- and after all, tattoos are forever! Being confident in your decision to get the design/concept you’ve chosen is super important to the process. Last minute concept changes can lead to rescheduling/forfeiture of deposits.
Drawing/Design policy
Please be aware that all my designs are done custom; I will not copy another artist’s work.
All reference photos will be used for inspiration only.
I am open to interpreting other artist’s work ONLY IF the client has gained written permission from the artist before contacting me. (This applies only to art that is not done by another tattoo artist.)
I do not email designs before the appointment. For small tattoos the drawings are typically done a day or two before your appointment, and small changes can be made at the time of the appointment. For larger designs, a separate drawing consult can be made -- this will usually take place at least within a week of the tattoo appointment. Please note that I don’t allow pictures of the design to be taken at the drawing consultation.
The best way to ensure that you will be happy with your design: clearly and concisely communicating your ideas, including reference photos if you have any, and be open to my artistic interpretation!
RESCHEDULE/CANCELATION POLICY
Your deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable. Your deposit will be forfeit in cases of total cancelation.
Please give at least 48 hour notice via email if you need to reschedule your appointment.
Last-minute reschedules will forfeit the deposit, and a new deposit will be required before a new appointment is made.
((PLEASE NOTE: I am flexible on policy in regard to illness or unsafe travel conditions, e.g: snowstorms, icy roads, etc.))
You may reschedule up to two times before a new deposit is required, repeat reschedules will result in a forfeit deposit.
TOUCH UP POLICY
I offer free touch-ups to my work for up to 6 months from the original appointment date— however it is best to let me know right away if you need one. Touch-ups are best done as close to the original appointment as possible, allowing for healing time. The touch-up policy generally applies to correction of healing issues, or inconsistencies which will be noticeable immediately or after the tattoo is fully healed (3-4 weeks).
The touch-up policy does NOT apply to reworking older pieces due to natural fading, exposure to the elements, etc.
If you’re not sure if your piece needs a touch up, please email me a photo of your tattoo and we can discuss further.
MISC. INFO
when scheduling, Keep in mind your tattoo will need at least 2-3 weeks of healing time before you can swim, take a bath, or expose the area to sun.
be sure to plan around vacations/activities.
You will also want to limit activities such as working out, marathons, hiking/camping, or other such physical activity for at least 7-10 days after your appointment, possibly more depending on the location of your tattoo. Please consult me if your work involves physical activity so we can discuss how best to proceed.
Please also alert me as soon as possible if you are having any reaction or affliction to the area you are getting tattooed prior to your appointment (sunburn, cuts/scrapes, outbreak of skin condition, etc.) as I cannot tattoo broken or irritated skin. If you do not alert me of said issues prior to your appointment, it may result in rescheduling and loss of deposit.
