FAQs

What do you charge?

Usually, I charge by the hour of tattooing. My hourly rate is $250/hr with a $250 minimum. Once you submit an appointment request, you will receive an email with a price estimate. I usually offer a range of price since placement and size will change the length and complexity of the appointment.

Deposit?

Deposits are necessary to cover design time, administrative time, and supply costs. A non-refundable $200 deposit is required at the end of all booking process. The deposit will go towards the final price of the tattoo.

Refunds and disputes

Deposits and payments for work completed are non-refundable.

Cancellation policy

If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 14 days notice to transfer your deposit towards the new appointment. Deposit transfer is not guaranteed for notices less than 14 days.

How does custom tattoos work?

Custom projects start at 4” minimum, about a palm size.

If the custom request is a good fit for my interest and style, we will have a few email conversations to work out the details of the tattoo. This might include photos of the placement, photo references and style reference.

The design will be shown at the appointment.

For larger projects, we might have an in person consultation at the studio.

Aftercare?

For most tattoos, I will apply a Dermshield bandage, which is a waterproof self-adhesive transparent film. Typically, this stays on for 2-3 days. While Dermshield is on your skin, you can pretty much do all normal activities like exercising and regular showers.

Once the bandage comes off, I recommend you use Dial Soap (or other mild, fragrance free soap) and moisturizing with Bephanthane (or unscented lotion such as Lubriderm, Aveeno, etc.).

We will discuss aftercare in more detail at the end of your appointment.
