Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Q: How much do you charge?

A: I charge an hourly rate on most projects and a day rate on large projects. Please contact me to discuss your tattoo idea and pricing.

 Q: Do you require a consultation before setting up an appointment?

A: Yes. If you are wanting a medium/large sized tattoo, I do require a consultation in order to make sure that we are on the same page as far as what the tattoo you are hoping to get is, and to make sure I am the right artist for you. I sometimes skip the consultation process if what you are wanting is straight-forward and on the smaller side. All consultations are done over the phone or via video chat.

Q: What kind of tattoos do you like to do?

A: I love to tattoo creative realistic images like skulls, animals, nature, space, etc... I'm a big fan of science so anything in that vein will definitely peek my interest. I also enjoy large scale geometric and abstract tattoos.

Q: What kind of tattoos do you not want to do?

A: Traditional tattoos and lettering. While I do appreciate them, those are not things that I tattoo and it is very important to find the right tattooer who specializes in the style you are looking for. 

Q: Do you do cover-ups?

A: I do, but selectively. I will only do a cover-up that I know I can successfully do. Cover-ups are very tricky and are very situational. This is something I would need to talk to you about in person to see what your old tattoo looks like, go over what you'd like your tattoo covered up with, how big you're wanting the cover-up to be, etc.

Q: Are you the right artist for me?

A: If you like what I've done in the past and if you'd like something that falls in the same style as my work, I'd like to think so! If we end up not being a good fit, I am happy to give recommendations and referrals to another artist in town. 

Q: Do you take a deposit for the tattoo appointment?

A: Yes, I require a deposit to book a appointment. This is to ensure that you are committed and will show up on the time and date of the appointment(s) we set up for you. The deposit will come out of the final price of the tattoo. If the tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be taken out during the last session. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. For more about deposits, see the deposit policy at the bottom of this page. 

Q: How long are the sessions?

A: It depends on what we are working on. I normally work on a tattoo for about 4-6 hours at a time. I also book consecutive two day appointments for larger projects at the clients request.

Q: When can I see the design of my future tattoo?

A: I will have the design ready to be looked at and reviewed when you come in for your appointment. With medium to large tattoos, a fully prepared flat paper drawing or image of a digital design changes shape when wrapping on the body, and every person’s body shape is different. With my process, I prefer to have my client in the studio when I layout/create the design. I use a blend of photo reference and marker drawing for a custom tailored fit to your body. This can only be done in studio and requires full trust in the artistic process. We can discuss the details and make small adjustments or changes in real time during your appointment.

Q: How can I get ready for my session?

A: I recommend coming in after a good balanced meal and with some snacks; we provide filtered water at the shop and have a diner next door. With long or multiple day sessions, It's a good idea to bring loose dark clothing and a small pillow for extra comfort. Sometimes clients bring headphones, tablet, or a book to help pass the time. Its also very important to shower and have good hygiene before your appointment.

Q: Can I bring people with me when I come get tattooed?

A: Due to the client/artist process, no guests are allowed during the appointment.

Q: Do you take cards, checks or cash?

A: I accept cash and cards. Please note that for credit or debit cards, you will be charged a small processing fee by Square.

Q: Do you do free touch ups?

A: Absolutely! As long as the tattoo is fully healed and you reach out to me up to three months after the tattoo is completed and healed.

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A: Please note that I have a 48-hour cancellation policy in place to ensure that I can continue to provide a professional service to all of my clients.

I give a 15-20 minute grace period if you show up late for your appointment. After that timeframe you will need to reschedule or pay for the time our appointment was scheduled for.

If you need to cancel your appointment, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance. If you fail to do so, you will be charged a no-call, no-show fee of the amount you placed for the deposit. This fee is necessary because I am typically booked weeks in advance, and it is difficult to fill a last-minute cancellation which can result in a loss of income and can be an inconvenience for both the artist and the client. The fee compensates me for the time and effort I have invested in preparing for your appointment.

I understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can arise, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. However, I ask that you respect my time and the time of other clients by providing me with ample notice of any cancellations or changes to your appointment.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns about my cancellation policy, please do not hesitate to contact me.

— I hope this has helped to answer any or most of your questions. Please feel free to send me any unanswered questions via email.
