Thank you for considering me as your tattoo artist! Here's what to know before your appointment.
Studio hourly rate: $150 per hour (under-the-needle time only)
Studio deposit: $100 minimum
A deposit is required to secure your appointment. It goes toward the final price of your tattoo and is non-refundable. Your deposit is void if:
If your deposit is voided, a new deposit and appointment application is required. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please reach out as soon as you can.
Typically you won't see your design until the day of your appointment. I budget time for you to change it as needed and there's no pressure to settle on something you're not fully on board with. I'd rather you be honest with me about how you're feeling than walk away with something you don't love.
Drink plenty of water and eat beforehand, especially for bigger sessions. Wear clothing that makes the tattoo area easy to access, and avoid anything you don't want stained or anything tight on the area. Some good things to bring:
Numbing cream is a great option if you're nervous about a painful session. If you use it, please always patch test at least 3 days before your appointment to check for allergic reaction. I cannot recommend numbing for first tattoos, it is imperative to understand how a tattoo feels and heals without it first. Feel free to email me with any questions about whether numbing is right for you.
Payment is taken at the end of your session. I accept:
If a tight budget is a concern, I also accept trades of equal value (i.e., professional mechanic work, health/vet services, nail work, electronics, or groceries). Just ask and we can figure something out.
Please bring a valid, unexpired ID, and please do not arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I won't be able to tattoo you, for both our safety and due to state laws. I allow one guest in the room with you, and ask that you leave kids at home. If you're feeling unwell, please reach out to reschedule rather than come in.
