POLICIES
Consultation:
-
After you send in your tattoo consultation form, I will respond via email. Please allow a few days for me to get back to you. Make sure to check your spam box just in case my response goes to spam.
​​
-
Not required, but sending a photo of the part on your body that you want the tattoo placed will help me a lot in the design process.
​​
-
Most consultations can be done via email but I am also open to scheduling an in-person consultation.
​
​
Scheduling:
​
-
Feel free to check my availability here.
​
-
If dates that you need are not available, reach out to me to ask for the “premium schedule”. This is a list of my days off. The rates for these days are $200/hour and the deposit to secure the spot is half of the estimated tattoo total, which will be credited back at the time of the tattoo.
​​
-
Weekend dates are usually reserved for Tattoo Expos and travelling guest spots or spending time with my family. There may be some weekends that are available for the "premium schedule".
​
Deposits:
​
-
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment (local, expo and guest spot). It is separate from the tattoo total (does not get credited back at the time of the tattoo). It goes towards design and drawing time.
-
Smaller tattoos which do not require designing time require a $100 deposit of which 50% will be credited back at the time of the tattoo.
-
Expo bookings for my predawn designs require a $100 deposit of which 50% will be credited back at the time of the tattoo.
-
For continuation sessions a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to book and it is 100% credited back at the time of the next session.
​​
-
Deposits can be made over Venmo, Cashapp, PayPal or Zelle.
​
​
Cancellation/Rescheduling:
​
-
If you wish to reschedule an appointment please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. If you cancel without rescheduling, give less than 48 hours notice, reschedule for a second time or do not show up for your appointment, the deposit is nullified.
-
If a deposit is nullified and you wish to make a new appointment, a new deposit is required.
​
Cost/Estimates:
​
-
Full Day Rates are $1400. It is between 6-8 hours. Lunch is on me!
-
Half Day Rates (4-5 hours) are $800.
-
Smaller Tattoos (2-3 hours) are between $350-525.
-
Minimum is $200
-
If you have a budget, please let me know. I could suggest short sessions or if needed, I will design your tattoo to fit within that budget (eg. Smaller or simplified)
​​
-
Payments at the time of tattoo can be made with cash, PayPal, Cashapp, Venmo or Zelle. I currently do not use a credit card reader so I am unable to take payments from a card.
​
-
Session length examples can be found here.
​
Design:
​
-
Feel free to send any and all reference photos that you would like and tell me what you like about each one. I will then design something in my style that will incorporate your vision. (Tip: When searching for reference photos, try using keywords like “paintings”, “artwork” and “drawings” rather than “tattoo”, you will get a lot more options that way.)
​​
-
Custom designs will be drawn the day/night before the tattoo appointment. I do this for two reasons: One, it’s best for it to be fresh on my mind for your appointment. And second, I will be busy working on other designs that are scheduled before yours.
​​
-
If you would like me to work on your design right away and show you early, you have the option to pay a convenience fee of $30-$50 depending on the complexity of the design. It will not go towards the tattoo total. Please do not message me a week before your tattoo to ask how the design is going.
