Frequently Asked Questions

  • You can fill out my booking form and I will typically respond within 2-3 days!

  • Pricing is based on size, placement, complexity, etc. I will always get you an estimate prior to booking so you have a rough idea of the cost. The shop minimum is $100.

  • Depending on the project, I may ask that you come in for an in-person consult prior to booking. This is usually to plan large projects, to discuss cover-ups or reworks, or if you just want to chat in person about your tattoo! There is no charge for the consult - you only have to pay a deposit if you decide you’d like to book an appointment following the consult.

  • Yes, I do take a $50 non-refundable deposit to book (the deposit may be higher for large-scale projects such as sleeves, full day sessions, etc.). The deposit comes off the final cost of the tattoo. Deposits can be transferred twice if you need to reschedule, but are forfeited in the case of:

    • No call, no shows

    • Reschedules with less than 48 hour notice

    • If the appointment is cancelled outright

    Since deposits are non-refundable, please make sure you are committed to getting a tattoo before booking!

  • Yes, I do send out the drawing the week of the appointment. This will typically be either a sketch or the linework of the design, and we can finalize the shading and/or color the day of the appointment.

    The drawing may be sent out 1-5 days before your appointment, just depending on what my workload is for the week.
