I enjoy fineline, stipple/pepper shading, kawaii/anime/manga, pastel, watercolor, neotraditional, and American traditional. I work in both black and gray and color. Take a look at my portfolio page or my instagram for examples of the tattoos I prefer doing.
-
I am very selective about the coverup projects I take on. Please send me photos of the tattoo you wish to have covered and we can discuss our potential options. There are other artists at my shop who do great coverup work, so if I can’t take on your project I will recommend you to someone who can!
-
This depends on several factors, such as size, placement, and the complexity of the design, which all affect the time required to complete the tattoo. My current rate is $120/hour. Fill out my booking form to get an estimated price range for your piece!
-
Your deposit reserves your appointment and covers the time I spend drawing your design and setting up before you arrive. It also ensures that I receive payment in the event that you are unable to make it to your appointment, arrive late, or request major changes to the artwork. They are nonrefundable and go toward the final cost of your tattoo.
-
Deposits can be paid online via PayPal (you do not need an account to submit payment), or in cash at the shop. The remaining cost for your tattoo is due in cash only at your appointment. We have an ATM on-site for your convenience.
-
I do not send out designs prior to appointments. Your piece will be drawn and ready when you arrive, and at that time you can make any requests for changes. I highly recommend that you be as specific as possible in your initial description and/or provide reference photos to ensure my drawing matches your vision.
-
If you aren’t happy with your design, I will absolutely make small adjustments to better fit what you have in mind at the start of your appointment. However, completely changing the concept or placement, or asking for major changes that require more than 30 minutes of drawing time will result in the loss of your deposit to cover the additional time needed to redraw your piece, and in some cases may require your appointment to be rescheduled to a different date.
-
I am happy to customize most of my predrawn designs! Discounted designs, tattoos during flash events, and pieces pulled from my Get What You Get tattoo machine sometimes may not be changed or may require an additional fee for customization requests.
-
You are welcome to invite a buddy along to sit with you during your appointment. However, space is limited so any additional guests must remain seated in the lobby to prevent my station from getting too crowded. If your guest is distracting or disruptive they will be asked to wait in the lobby.
-
You must bring cash/a card you can access the ATM with for payment, and a valid, government issued photo ID for your consent paperwork. If you are under 18, you and your legal guardian must both have photo IDs and a photo or copy of your birth certificate for the additional minor consent paperwork.
To make yourself more comfortable and help pass the time you may wish to bring a book, fidget toys, headphones, snacks, water, a jacket or blanket, or a pillow.
-
Gently exfoliate and moisturize the area to be tattooed daily for at least 1 week prior to your appointment. On the day of your tattoo, shower and pick an outfit that is comfortable and easy to move out of the way of your tattoo. Eat a full meal within 2 hours of your appointment.
-
Tipping is always appreciated but never expected. If you wish to show your support without spending extra money, sharing my work on social media and recommending me to your friends is a huge help!
-
My clients can schedule a free touch up session within one year of their initial tattoo appointment. Additional touch-up sessions on tattoos done by me or touch-ups on will be done at half my hourly rate ($60/hr). Touch-ups on tattoos done by another artist will be done at my full hourly rate ($120/hr).
