polices &
procedures
-
I want every client to have a comfortable, personalized experience. I primarily take on custom, large scale projects, many of which require multiple sessions to complete.
Before submitting your request, please take a moment to review the information below so you know what to expect throughout the process.
-
You must be 18 or older to be tattooed. A valid government issued photo ID will be required at your appointment.
-
Every client has the option to schedule a phone, video, or in-person consultation before their appointment.
This gives us a chance to talk through your ideas, placement, size, references, and overall direction for the tattoo. For larger projects, we'll also discuss how the piece may be approached over multiple sessions.
-
My pricing reflects not only your tattoo session, but also the consultation, planning, and design time that goes into creating a piece specifically for you.
Full Day — $1,000
$200 deposit + $800 due at your appointmentHalf Day — $600
$200 deposit + $400 due at your appointmentA $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment and is included in the total price of your scheduled session.
Because I primarily work on larger pieces, some projects will require multiple sessions. The amount of time needed will depend on the size, placement, detail, and how your body responds throughout the tattooing process.
-
Reference photos, artwork, and inspiration are always welcome. They help me understand what you're drawn to and the direction you'd like to take for your tattoo.
From there, I create an original design specifically for you rather than directly copying another artist's work. Projects that fit my artistic style and give me room for creative freedom may receive priority when booking.
Your final design may not be shown until the day of your appointment. At that time, we'll review everything together before tattooing begins, and small adjustments can be made if needed.
Major changes to the original concept, size, or placement may require additional design time, a change in price, additional tattoo sessions, or rescheduling your appointment.
-
Your $200 deposit reserves your appointment time and is applied toward the total cost of that session. Deposits are non refundable.
If you need to reschedule, a new $200 deposit will be required to secure your new appointment date. Your original deposit will not transfer to the new appointment.
If I need to reschedule your appointment for any reason, your deposit will transfer to the new date and no additional deposit will be required.
Cancellations, no-shows, and missed appointments will result in the loss of your deposit. A new deposit will be required before another appointment can be scheduled.
-
Once your tattoo is fully healed, I'm happy to evaluate whether a touch-up is needed.
Minor touch-ups related to the normal healing process may be completed at no additional tattoo cost at my discretion.
Touch-ups needed because of improper aftercare, excessive sun exposure, picking or scratching, failure to follow healing instructions, or other preventable damage will be charged at my normal rate.
Please keep in mind that normal aging, fading, and changes to the tattoo over time are not considered complimentary touch-ups.
-
Please arrive on time and prepared for your appointment. If you're running late, just reach out and let me know as soon as possible.
If you arrive more than 20 minutes late without contacting me, your appointment will be considered a no-call/no-show and will be canceled. No-call/ no-shows may lose the ability to scheduled again.
-
I put a lot of time and attention into every project—from our first conversation and the design process to the final tattoo.
These policies help me protect the time set aside for each client while giving every project the preparation and creative attention it deserves.
If that process sounds like the right fit for you, I'd love to hear about your idea.
