A deposit of $150 is required to schedule your appointment. For half and full day sessions, a 30% deposit is required to secure the time frame. Deposits are non-refundable and one reschedule up to 48 hours before your appointment is allowed. Any rescheduling within the 48 hours before your appointment will be considered a cancellation and a new deposit must be placed to secure a new appointment time. Your deposit will only allow one reschedule, if you need to reschedule again, another $150 non refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment.
Custom Bookings include one free 15 min design review call. This call is virtual and I will share my screen to show you conceptual sketches for your design. This is the time for any feedback or changes to happen before I complete your design for your upcoming appointment. Final Designs are not shown until your appointment time, but there is time factored into your appointment to review your design and make minor adjustments together. Any major changes to your design will result in a reschedule of your appointment and a new $150 non-refundable deposit must be placed to secure a new design and date.
In the event that I need to cancel your appointment, your deposit will be refunded to you.

Flash designs are repeatable and flat-rated ranging from $150-600. Pricing depends on the complexity of the design, placement and size.
Custom designs are rated hourly at $250/hr. Please keep in mind that customs usually take at least 1.5 hours to complete ($375 minimum). Half days ($750 for 3 hours ) and Full days ($1500 for 6 hours) are available to book for multi-session projects or if you would like to come in for multiple tattoos. You are only charged for the amount of time I am actively tattooing. Stenciling, breaks and talking about the process is not time that you will be charged for.
Touch ups are free for the first year after your tattoo appointment.
Tips are appreciated, but not necessary. I always enjoy gifts from clients such as coffee, plants, handmade items, books or small collectible toys. Please do not feel obligated to leave a cash tip!

I highly recommend using Dr. Bronner’s baby blue liquid soap or dial antibacterial soap to clean your tattoo. To moisturize, I recommend using raw shea butter (without any added oils or fragrances) or an unscented lotion.
Please refrain from extreme physical activity ( working out, biking, running etc.) for at least 3 days with your fresh tattoo.
Make sure that you wear loose fitting clothing and breathable fabric like cotton over your fresh tattoo.
Do not soak, go swimming, sit in a sauna or sunbathe with your fresh tattoo.
Leave the bandage on until you get home and remove it when you get home. After bandage removal, wash 2-3x a day with unscented antibacterial soap. Moisturize 2-3x after cleaning.
Follow washing steps for up to a week, or until fully scabbed over. Once scabbed, wash once a day and moisturize when needed.
