Frequently Asked Questions
Please read over this FAQ page before submitting a Tattoo Inquiry. Most commonly asked questions will be answered here. Your first step in getting tattooed will be to read this Q&A, then submit a detailed inquiry form along with any pictures.
Consultations / Appointments
If your request is chosen, my assistant will contact you via text message to schedule a consultation.
Consultations are held on designated Sundays and are conducted exclusively by phone.
Appointments will be scheduled the day of your consultation and will require a non refundable deposit to set an appointment. Deposits can be paid through Venmo.
Rate / Deposit
$2000 day rate/session (7 hours)
For smaller scale designs that don’t fall under my standard day rate, a flat rate price will be provided based on the size, placement, and overall detail of the design.
A $300 deposit is required to secure your spot in my calendar. Deposits are non-refundable!
If you book back to back days for a large scale project, a deposit will be required for each day.
Your deposit will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo and deducted from the balance on your FINAL SESSION,
Cancelation / Rescheduling
If you need to cancel your appointment for any reason, you will need to restart the booking process all over. I typically stay booked out 3-4 months, so you will get the soonest spot that is available. I require a 72 hour notice at the minimum for cancellations. If you fail to cancel before the 72hour window, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will be required to leave another deposit to book a future appointment.
One reschedule is allowed, and on your second reschedule your deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to leave another deposit. Same day reschedules without fair reason will also result in a forfeit of your deposit. Please note, deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
Late/ No Show
Please try to arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment. I try to maximize the time set aside for your tattoo. In the case that you will be late, you are allowed a 30 minute leeway. Anything after that will result in a reschedule of your appointment.
No call/ no show will result in a forfeit of your deposit.
Tattoo design/ Design changes
I recommend all potential clients to review my tattoos before submitting a request form. I do my best to take on projects for any type of illustrative tattoos, however I will respectfully decline projects that may not be best suited for me. I do not work on other tattooers unfinished work or do cover ups.
All designs will be shown to you the day of your appointment. I will keep all your requests and references in mind when designing your tattoo, but find that I work best with some creative freedom. I will not stray away from your idea, but use it as inspiration to create something original for you. Please know that I’m very honored that you chose me for your tattoo, and I work a certain way to make sure that you leave with the best work that I can do.
I choose which projects to do based off of the tattoo request you submit, finalizing the details during the consultation. If you decide to make major changes to the design, including placement and size, that may result in cancellation of your appointment, as well as forfeit of your deposit. Small adjustments and design requests shall be discussed prior to your appointment.
