Yes! I try my best to stay accessible and welcome new clients/projects. However, there is only one of me and I try not to get too far booked out, so I am being selective with what projects I take on. But I always love to hear your ideas, so please don’t be shy on sending in a booking request.

I check my email once a week. For those of you with an appointment that week emails are answered as I receive them. If you have submitted an appointment request or email and have not heard back after two weeks, its likely it got lost so please resend!

I try my best to price everything evenly and fairly. I generally work off of a $200/hr model. However tattooing is very nuanced so I am not strict with it.
My minimum for flash is $100
Custom work minimum is $200
For flash or small to medium custom works they are priced by the piece. I will confirm the price with you before the tattoo.
For larger work and work that needs multiple sessions I offer a day rate.
Full Day 12-6 $1000
Half Day 12-4 $600

I take cash, card, or venmo.

Yes, I enjoy doing coverups. However, they are case by case. I only will say yes to a cover up if i feel that a cover up is the right choice. I do require an in person consultation for coverups.

General answer is no. However if you have had experience using them and are worried about a particularly painful placement then we can discuss it. But if i am not made aware you plan to use any products before hand and it has disrupted your skin, you can be turned down for services.

Stay hydrated
Get a good night’s rest

Only shave if it is in an area you normally shave. Feel free to buzz excess chest/arm/leg hair if you have a trimmer. but leave the rest to me!
Eat a substantial meal 1-2 hours before your appointment
Be mindful of your caffeine intake to avoid the jitters
Wear clothing that allows me to access the area I’ll be tattooing and something you don’t mind getting ruined by ink and/or blood
~For arms- zip up hoodies or button-down flannels over a tank top
~For legs- shorts, skirts, maxi-dresses with a slit, baggy sweatpants
~For sternums & backs- zip up hoodies or button-down flannels
~For hips/sides- a bikini bottom with ties on the sides
~For ribs- avoid wearing a bra- a baggy shirt or tank top usually are best
~I do provide nipple pasties and drape cloths if needed.
Bring layers, a blanket or a towel if you tend to get cold (might get stained)
Bring snacks, water bottle, sports drinks, candy, etc. I do provide these, but if you have your favorites feel free to bring them
Bring headphones if you’d like to enjoy your own entertainment- this helps the time pass and takes your focus off the pain

Yes, you are very welcome to bring a friend. But just one. It is a very small space so we really cant accommodate more than that. However, there are loads of restaurants, coffee shops and books stores near by if you have more people in your party.

Yes, antibiotics, blood-thinners, and accutane are some that will affect the healing process. So if you have to be on these at the time of your tattoo, please reach out to reschedule..

Drink alcohol. drinking heavily the night before your tattoo will negatively affect the experience of getting tattooed and the healing of your tattoo.
Please avoid tanning, or getting sunburned. If you show up with a sun burn I will not be able to tattoo you.
Also try to avoid spray tans and heavy oils, as these will have to be wiped off when preparing your skin for the tattoo.
