FAQs

Booking Cycles?

Booking cycles typically align with the seasons. I may not publicly open my books, if have many continuing projects or a waitlist.

Additional booking info:

  • Inquiries and Creative Freedom: All inquiries are meticulously reviewed my assistant and myself. Due to demand, I request creative freedom or flexibility. I have studied art the majority of my life so I request confidence in all potential clients.

  • Booking Process: Please send an inquiry via my Contact page. We will try our best to get back to you within 1 week unless books are currently open. If they are open, PLEASE RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

  • Sessions and Healing: Approved projects must schedule a minimum of every 6 months. If you wait longer than 6 months, you will need to place a new deposit. The number of sessions required depends on various factors like size, pain tolerance, subject matter, and healing. For optimal progress, consider booking back-to-back sessions, particularly if you’re traveling. Allow your body about 3 weeks to heal between sessions.

  • Design: I may not show you the design ahead of time.

  • Estimating Sessions: Depending on the complexity, here is a loose idea of how many sessions you might need:

    • Large single subject pieces: 2-4 sessions

    • 1/2 sleeve: 4-7 sessions

    • Full sleeve: 7-12 sessions

    • Legs/Backs: These can require many sessions.

Pricing?

I no longer offer an hourly rate. Since I mostly focus on large scale and continuation pieces, the only rates I offer are half and full days at $900 and $1500. Please remember if you are booking half days, your project will take twice as long to complete. Since I do not offer a design fee, that is included into my daily rate. I also factor in my continuing education and quality supplies.

Deposits?

I do not offer a design fee. Because of this, my deposit is $500 and goes towards the last session of your tattoo. Your deposit will void if you no show an appointment or reschedule within 48 hours. Additionally if you wait longer than 6 months between sessions, you will need to place a new deposit. Deposits are non-refundable.

Consultations?

Maybe you have too many ideas, maybe not enough, maybe you’re a little nervous about getting tattooed…THATS OKAY! We offer free consultations Mondays and in the mornings during the week.

Rescheduling?

We understand things come up! If you need to reschedule your appointment, please give us a minimum of 48 hours so we can try to fill the date. In the event you do not show to your appointment or give us 48 hours notice, you’ll need to place a new deposit.
