Frequently Asked Questions

  • The price of your tattoo will vary depending on the size, location, and complexity of the design. I can give a rough estimate of cost but sometimes the estimate is above or below the actual cost for the piece. My rate is $150/hr and my minimum is 1 hour regardless of size.

  • I accept several different payment options. Cash, credit and debit, Venmo. Please note that I do not usually have small bills to break larger bills if you are paying in cash.

  • Yes tattoos do hurt. It is comparable to a cat scratch sensation. Please make sure to review all tattoo prep info so you can be prepared!

  • 1.Submit your idea

    2. I review your concept

    3. You receive your booking link

    4. Pay the deposit and secure your spot!

  • Yes! I allow people to bring one guest with them. Please do not bring a large group of people with you to your appointment if they are not also getting tattooed. If people are too loud and disruptive they will be asked to leave.

  • Sure!! I can tattoo up to 4 people in one group all at the same appointment. Obviously let me know in your intake form how many people are coming so that I can block off additional time if necessary, and remember to stay a little open-minded and flexible on the size and complexity of the tattoo design, just so there's time for everyone. If more than 4 people want to get tattooed at the same appointment, I can have a coworker jump in and we can tackle the group together, just give us plenty of notice to check calendars and line up availability, etc.


    My biggest ask with bestie and group tat sessions: please keep the vibes in check. Always happy to be part of a good time and a beautiful memory but please do not arrive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, keep the laughter and chatter in check with the vibe of the studio that day, please stay seated in the chairs provided in my station area, do not touch or jostle the person getting tattooed, wander around the studio, or disturb any other artists or clients. We're all here to get permanent art on our skin, first and foremost, vibes are secondary to that.

  • No, I do not send designs beforehand, which is a common industry standard.

    This is why submitting a complete and thorough inquiry is important. If you have any strong design preferences, PLEASE be sure to articulate that clearly and send reference photos. It is helpful when clients indicate what they like/dislike about a certain reference photo and what elements they definitely want me to include.

    The more the merrier! I will NOT get offended if you send other peoples’ work as inspiration (just please do not expect me to copy existing designs verbatim).

    At the end of the day, I am trying to tap into the mind of someone I’ve never met before to bring their vision to life. For that reason, if there are strong design preferences, please let me know! We can always schedule a free consultation to discuss an idea further.

    If an email inquiry is broad and general, I will assume I have artistic freedom based on my portfolio of work. If this is not the case and we have to make substantial changes to the design, we will have to reschedule.

  • I require a deposit paid at the time of scheduling the appointment, to hold the time slot. Deposits are non-refundable but do apply towards the final cost of the tattoo.


    Deposit is forfeited if client does not arrive for the appointment, or cancels within 7 days of the appointment. Client may reschedule without losing deposit if at least 2 days notice is given. If client is more than 30 minutes late without notifying me and providing an updated ETA, the deposit is forfeited and the appointment must be re-booked.


    Please reach out and work with me as soon as you know you or someone near you is sick, or you foresee a problem attending your appointment. Exceptions may be made in certain emergencies.
