FAQs
Booking process
i release my booking form on the first saturday of each month. the link is sent through my email mailing list (sign up down below!) to schedule the following month.
in the form, there will be an option for flash, custom, or touch-up. here you will specify the design you’re wanting as well as size and placement.
filling out a form does not guarantee you a spot. i will be taking on appointments based on submissions i feel most excited about! this keeps my work sustainable and prevents burnout for me.
please keep in mind that i usually close form submissions within a few hours.
dates + deposits
if i decide to take on your appointment request, i will send you my calendar booking link via instagram DMs or email to choose a date and time.
once i send the booking link, you have 48 hours to book a date or else your spot for the month is forfeit.
i will require a $50 non-refundable deposit for flash or $100 non-refundable deposit for customs to hold your spot. $50 from your deposit will go towards the final cost of your tattoo day-of.
after receiving your date and deposit, i will send final confirmation with my studio address.
reschedules + cancellations
if you reschedule within 5 days of your appointment, i will require a new deposit to re-book. if you need to reschedule before 5 days of your appointment, your deposit will carry over. if i do not have any available dates for you to book for your reschedule, you will need to fill out a new booking form the following month.
if you cancel your appointment without indicating a desire to reschedule, i will keep your deposit.
if you are more than 20 minutes late with no notice, i will cancel your appointment and require a new deposit to reschedule.
if you no-call, no-show, you forfeit your deposit and i will never work with you again. this protects my time as an artist.
Pricing
i charge $110 - $130 / hour with a $150 minimum. i offer a sliding-scale hourly rate for community accessibility, and i am happy to work with budgets.
final pricing depends on size, placement, and time it takes to tattoo.
i charge for the entire appointment time, including the consultation, stenciling, set-up + tear-down, and ink-to-skin. on average, my pieces end up being anywhere from $150-$450 total.
The $50 from your deposit will go towards the final cost of your tattoo day-of.
i will quote a price at the end of your tattoo with the option of a sliding scale. if you need a price estimate, or if you need additional sliding scale information, please email or DM me.
i only accept cash or venmo!
Customs
at this time, i am most drawn to taking on custom requests for designs based on found objects and memories. for example:
small bodies from nature
rocks, pebble configurations
branches + twigs
grass
pottery, broken shards
objects from your home
a piece of something you want to keep close
small objects spread out across your body
bones / dead things
abstracted nature forms
bodies, hands, nudity
vertical, stacked compositions
custom deposits
customs require a $100 non-refundable deposit to book, where $50 holds the appointment date and $50 is used as the design fee. only the $50 to hold the date will be subtracted from the final cost.
i will politely decline customs i feel are outside my style or preferred subject matter.
Aftercare
keep your second skin bandage on for 3-5 days. to remove, peel under warm running water in the direction of your hair growth. wash your new tattoo with gentle soap and pat dry with a paper towel. apply a thin layer of unscented lotion or aquaphor.
flaking, itching, and light redness is normal. do not scratch, peel, or rub your tattoo. keep your tattoo lightly moisturized. cover your tattoo from direct sunlight while healing. do not swim or submerge your tattoo until fully healed. your tattoo will be fully healed in 3-5 weeks. always reach out if you have any questions about your healing process.
