FAQ
Scheduling
Should I book a consultation?
Yes! I’m happy to meet with new clients anytime just to introduce you to the studio and familiarize yourself with what we have to offer.
Consultations are the best way to commission an artist with your design.
During your consultation you can share your tattoo ideas and look at artwork with me, we can discuss size, placement, cost, etc. Then we will set you an appointment to do your tattoo.
How do I schedule an appointment?
In order to book an appointment and produce a drawing, I ask for a $100 deposit.
Do you offer walk-ins?
I primarily work by appointment but occasionally fit in small, walk-in tattoos.
Appointments
Do I need to leave a deposit?
In order to book an appointment and produce a drawing, I ask for a $100 deposit, which will go towards the cost of your tattoo.
The deposit holds your appointment and is fully refundable provided you give me at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Your deposit will be applied to the total cost of your tattoo when you get it, or if you need multiple sessions, it will be applied at your last appointment.
Will I see the drawing before my appointment?
All artwork will be available at the time of your appointment, not earlier. When you see your drawing and it’s good- we tattoo!
If it looks good but needs tailoring, we can do it on the spot and then tattoo.
If it’s not really what you were hoping for we can go back to the drawing board and set another appointment.
How much does a tattoo cost?
The shop minimum is $100, My hourly rate is $200-250 per hour.
It’s very helpful to know your budget. Tattoos are priced based on size, detail, and placement.
One session tattoos are generally given a total price before tattooing. Large scale, multiple session tattoos are charged for hourly.
Aftercare
Bandage:
Leave your tattoo bandaged for 2- 12 hours.
After you take the bandage off:
