Frequently Asked Questions

I am currently working at an hourly rate of $120.  On a rare occasion placement or design my effect the final cost. If that happens to be the case that will be discussed prior to our appointment.  During our consultation I will try my very best to give you the most accurate quote, but please keep in mind that quotes are a general price range. If the design is changed after the initial quote, the price is likely subject to change. 

I do require $50 deposits for all appointments unless we've discussed something else prior to your appointment. If you scroll to the top of my page, you will find my booking and deposit policy in the top bar. 

I currently accept cash, card, venmo, cash app, and paypal.

I'm more than happy to help you come up with a design! It's always helpful to come prepared with some reference images showing things like style, placement, subject matter, etc. but if you don't have any we can sit down together and start from square one.

You're more than welcome to bring someone along with you for your appointment. Please keep in mind that I am working out of a salon suite style room. I can only comfortably accommodate a total of three people (including myself) in my room at a time. I know this is kind of a bummer, but that will be changing here in the near feature when renovation on the other side of our building is complete. I will be moving into a bigger room, and we will also have a waiting/lobby area for extra guests. 

You can do a few things to ensure a more comfortable tattoo appointment such as:

1. Making sure to have eaten a well-balanced meal 1-2 hours before you come. It's also a good idea to make sure you're hydrated. Low blood sugar and pre-tattoo anxiousness don't mix very well. Any time I've ever had a client pass out it's because of anxiety and low sugar. You're welcome to bring some snacks with you, or I always keep extra drinks and treats in the back breakroom for my clients and guests. 

2. Wear the right thing!  Make sure you're comfortable and we'll be able to easily get to the area were tattooing. 

Tattoo and stencil ink does NOT come out of clothing. I will always try my absolute best to not get ink on any of your clothes during the tattoo, but please remember that accidents do happen. Don't come in wearing your favorite top or pair of pants. 

3. Avoid lotions and body oils in the area you're receiving your tattoo 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. The oils in these products will affect the way the stencil sticks to and stains the skin, resulting in the tattoo stencil wiping away too early.
