If you are interested in getting a tattoo, please read the information below before contacting me.
Getting started:
-
It is important that you can describe your idea in full detail, including the location on the body where you would like the tattoo.
-
It helps to see images that you would like to use for reference. This gives me an idea of visually what you are looking for.
-
I also ask for a photo of the location on your body where you would like to place the tattoo.
-
All of this is important to make sure that I am the right artist for your project before we discuss appointment dates and cost estimates.
-
Designs will be finalized the day of your appointment.
-
I prefer to message through Instagram. Feel free to use the email link if you need to though.
Scheduling:
​
-
Once we have discussed your idea, and the project seems like a good fit, I will schedule a date for your tattoo.
-
A nonrefundable $100 deposit is required to hold the date.
-
Rescheduling an appointment is allowed with 7 days notice prior to the appointment date in order to retain the deposit.
-
I only work on one person a day, so there are no distractions or interruptions.
-
Because I only work on one tattoo a day, I've had to stop scheduling projects that take less than two hours to complete.
Pricing:
​​
-
I charge by the piece. Let me know what you are comfortable with spending so I can design something to fit your budget.
-
Tattoo design work, sizing, and set up are free of charge.
-
There are no free touch ups.
-
Large scale projects such as sleeves or back pieces often take multiple sessions, depending on the complexity of the design and how easy the skin is to work with. There is no way that I can give a perfect cost estimate in advance.
-
Please understand that I work as efficiently as possible to maximize every session.
-
By leaving a deposit, you are acknowledging and agreeing to all of the above policies.
-
Please understand that if you do send photos of other artists tattoos, I will only use them as inspiration. I aim to exclusively make original work for my clients.
​
Your time is important to me, so I ask that you respect my time too. All of the above information helps me spend more time focusing on what's important. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
