Reference Photos
I'd love to see what inspires you! Please share 3 to 5 reference photos of tattoos or artwork you're drawn to, from my page or anywhere else. A brief note about what you'd like to accomplish, along with what you love (and don't love) about each reference, helps me bring your vision to life.
Body Placement Photos
Every client receives a digital concept of their design placed directly on their body at the appointment. Clear, high-quality photos are essential to making this work well.

Please send 3 to 5 photos of the area you'd like tattooed in a relaxed, natural standing position: straight on, left side, and right side. Include the surrounding areas as well.

The better your photos, the better I can design something that fits your body perfectly.
Existing Tattoos
If we'll be working around or tying into any existing tattoos, just let me know and include a few photos. I want everything to flow together seamlessly.
Rates & Daily Minimum
My current rate is $350 per hour, with a daily minimum of $1,050. I work quickly and efficiently, so you can trust you're getting the most out of every session.
Payment
Cash is preferred at each appointment. It's the easiest for both of us! Deposits are handled online to lock in your date. If you'd prefer another payment method, please note that a processing fee will be automatically applied.
Deposit & Design Agreement
To get things moving, a deposit and design agreement must be signed before scheduling. Deposits are non-refundable — they're what makes your spot official and your date held.
Cover Ups
Cover-up work is something I really enjoy, and I'm happy to take it on when I have the creative freedom to do what I think will look best. Every cover-up is unique, so we'll evaluate your piece together and talk through ideas until we land on something you love.
Booking Availability
I'm typically booked 1 to 3 months in advance, so some patience may be needed. Your date is not confirmed until your deposit is received.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Life happens. I get it! If you need to cancel or reschedule please give me at least seven days notice so I can plan accordingly.

A $50 reschedule fee applies to all rescheduled appointments. If you're feeling ill or have a genuine emergency just reach out and the fee will be waived. I truly appreciate you not coming in sick.

Without adequate notice your deposit will be forfeited and a new one will be required to rebook.
Custom Designs
Designs are typically not available for preview before your appointment. I find the reveal is part of the experience! However, if you'd like a private viewing beforehand, that can be arranged for an additional service fee. Adjustments can always be made the day of to make sure everything is perfect. I truly enjoy collaborating with clients, so if you'd like to be involved in the creative process from start to finish, I'm absolutely open to that.
Right of Refusal
I want every piece I create to be something we're both proud of. With that in mind, I reserve the right to pass on requests that don't align with my artistic style or professional standards, and to discontinue service at any point during the tattooing process if necessary. I hope you understand. It's all in the interest of doing great work together.
