Policies
I require a deposit to hold your appointment date and start drawing / hold your predrawn design. The deposit is the only thing that secures your appointment and puts you in my calendar. It’s a $50/$100 (depends on size of your tattoo) non-refundable deposit that goes towards the final cost of the tattoo. You can still reschedule for emergency situations or with enough notice! In some cases you may lose your depsoit and have to put down a new one if you have rescheduled too many times or no call-no show, etc.
Payment is due at the end of your appointment! Cash is preferred and has no extra fees — I can take cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, & AmEx) with a 2.5% processing fee. I no longer accept payment through paypal / venmo, those are only for deposits.
I do not send out designs before the date of your appointment to protect my work and because I find that its much easier for us to review designs together face to face. If revisions are needed it gets complicated and time consuming messaging back and forth.
I do not copy exact designs from the internet. Inspiration / reference photos are great to send but I am a different artist and need some creative freedom to feel good about my work and not plagiarize another artist’s work.
When an appointment is booked it is for an agreed upon idea and you have been provided a quote. If your idea completely changes please reach out to me asap because I will need to see if I’m still able to accomplish your idea and provide you with a new cost estimate.
You can continue to send inspiration / request small changes to your design up until 2 weeks before your scheduled appointment.
Guests are welcome — please limit to 1-2 guests max since the tattoo room is not super large. There is a waiting area outside of the tattoo room available for guests too!
I charge hourly and flat rates depending on the situation. During scheduling / emailing I will let you know if we are doing hourly or a flat rate. Typically for large ongoing tattoos, like sleeves, I will charge hourly because it is hard to gauge a flat rate for large projects with multiple sessions. Other than that I charge a flat rate. When scheduling I will give an approximate cost estimate of the flat rate!
My minimum rate is $160.
