Tattoo Policies:

Tattoos:

I am tattooing arms and legs, black and gray only. If you have another placement in mind, feel free to reach out! I will be slowly taking on other placements, however there will likely be an additional fee for more challenging placements like sternum, ribs and neck. 

Cancellation & Reschedules:

Deposits are non refundable for cancellations. Please let me know a minimum of 24 hours if you need to reschedule. If I receive notice in less than 24 hours, it will be a cancellation and another deposit will be required to secure your future appointment.

Deposit:

Paying a deposit secures your appointment. The amount paid goes towards the final cost of your tattoo*. Details of payment will be sent to you once I acknowledge your appointment date via email. Deposits are required as a protective measure in case of cancellations/no shows.

*Deposits are non refundable for cancellations.

Rates:

As of May 2024, my rate is:

$100-$120 sliding scale per hour for flash

$130-$150 sliding scale per hour for custom work

for the hours that I am tattooing. My tattoo minimum is $200. Cash payment is ideal. 

If you have a budget in mind, please let me know! For the next couple of months (May + June), if you ask for an estimation and my timing goes quite a bit over that time ( 40 minutes or more), I will honor the original estimation. Also, if  you want to break up your tattoo in multiple sessions, I am happy to do so as long as each session meets my minimum.   

For Flash: Securing your appointment requires a $50 deposit sent via Venmo or PayPal. This payment will go towards the final cost of your tattoo.

For Custom Work: Securing your appointment requires a $80 deposit sent via Venmo or PayPal. This payment will go towards the final cost of your tattoo. I will show you one preliminary drawing before your appointment date based on our correspondence. If I find that I am having to rework your design more than once the day of your appointment, I will ask that you pay a flat rate of $50 for the extra work.

Sliding Scale Payment:

Sliding scale payment is offered in an effort to help address income inequality and provide more accessibility to individuals who want to be tattooed. 

As my experience increases, I aim to offer discounted tattoos to BIPOC individuals on  a quarterly basis or a similar time frame and will announce once that happens.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to inquire about a budget!
