-How to I get tattooed by you?
Submit a form on my Appointment Request page here on my website. I am appointment only and do not accept walk-ins.
-How do I book an appointment?
After submitting an Appointment Request and corresponding with me, you may return to my site and book your appointment on my Calendar page. Please keep in mind the amount of time it may take to accomplish your tattoo. Your tattoo may take more than one session to accomplish.
-Do you tattoo all clients tattoo requests?
I am specializing in an Illustrative style. I enjoy doing human and animal forms mixed with floral and leafy accents. This includes male, female, living, dead, portraits, skulls, and stand alone floral designs. I will accept items mixed with floral or leafy accents as well. Some good examples could be: weapons (like a dagger stabbing a rose), tools (like an axe and pinecones) or household items (like a coffee press and coffee leaves). I offer new designs like this every month. These and client requests like this will take priority.
-What tattoos will you not do?
Please review my portfolio before submitting a request. If your request does not fit within the style of tattooing that I do or It doesn’t suit you aesthetically, please seek out an artist who does what your are looking for.
-Do you finish/touch up other artists’ tattoos?
No I do not.
-Do you cover up other artists’ work?
I do. I can cover most things up with success.
-What does “Illustrative” mean?
Illustrative art is taking a clients idea and turning it into a stylized rendition. I take the detailed explanation of what you are wanting and turn that into visual art. I take into account artistic composition, proportions in reference to tattoo longevity, and placement on the body. Overall creating a custom piece for you in the style that I work in.
-What is your rate?
I work fast so I have an hourly rate of $150 an hour for all tattoos. $600 for half day and $1200 for a full day.
I give flat rate prices for my available designs and smaller pieces.
-What is your minimum?
I have a one hour minimum. So my minimum is $150.
-Do I have to make a deposit?
Yes, a deposit of $100 is required per tattoo per person. It will come off the overall price on the your last appointment. If your tattoo takes 4 hours and cost $600, you will pay $500.
-What if my tattoo takes multiple sessions?
Your $100 deposit will roll over as a deposit for each appointment until the last. It then will come off of the final session’s fee.
-Can I get my deposit refunded?
No. All deposits are good for twelve months and absolutely NON-REFUNDABLE.
-What if I need to Cancel or Reschedule?
Unexpected things happen all the time that we cannot predict. If you need to reschedule, be responsible and give me a minimum of 48 hours notice. “Oh I forgot my appointment was today!” This will forfeit your deposit. Canceling your appointment multiple times will forfeit your deposit. If you have a death in the family or a car accident on your way to the shop, I understand and will honor your deposit.
*Note that rescheduling may push your appointment out a month or more.
-Can I meet with you in person before I get tattooed?
Im am currently booking all of my clients via email correspondence. If you require an in person consultation regarding your tattoo, I will consider it. I know all tattoos are important to my clients but, I like to reserve these meetings for large format art (like sleeves and back pieces).
There will be a $75 fee for in person consulting. I require this be paid ahead of time with your deposit.
-When can I see my tattoo design?
To streamline my process I draw all of my designs for your appointment day. I will most likely have to draw some of it on as well to go around the pieces that you may already have. If I need to tweak anything on the design I will do it the day of your appointment.
