Book an Appointment

Please read and understand all of the following Policies.

 

APPOINTMENTS AND POLICIES

 
  • Appointments are generally, but not necessarily, booked for up to a month. All Appointment requests must be confirmed by me. If your appointment is not confirmed, please email me. Sometimes appointments slip through.

  • All tattoo appointments must be made by email or Appointment Request form, just click the button below!

  • All new clients MUST have a consultation before scheduling an appointment session.

  • Because of very high call and text message volume, I cannot take unscheduled phone calls.

  • I try answer emails once to twice per week. Due to high volume of requests, it can take up to a week to receive a response.

  • I take in-person, phone and video consultations, which usually last no more than 15 minutes. The first consultation is complimentary! For each consecutive consultation there will be a $50 fee.

  • All first-time appointments require a $100, non-refundable deposit. Deposit is for time slot and is not applied to the tattoo. I DO NOT take deposits for drawings. Drawings are NOT guaranteed by a certain day. In general, drawings are completed by the day before, sometimes earlier based on the weeks drawing load. All out of town clients MUST have drawings approved no later than a week before appointment. Drawings MUST be approved before appointment day. I DO NOT draw day-of appointments.

  • Cancellations: Deposits are NOT refunded in instances of day-of and day before cancellations. Reschedules are absolutely not guaranteed. Because of the booking schedule, reschedules can be pushed to 8 weeks out and earlier appointments can NOT be accommodated, except in the instance of another sooner appointment slot coming available.

  • All pricing varies. Because I do mostly larger, per-session pieces, I cannot accommodate smaller tattoos. The minimum charge is $600.

  • There is no one-size-fits all pricing. I typically charge PER SESSION. Sessions range from $600-$1200. Each session is priced GENERALLY by estimated time. Minimum hourly rate is $200 per hour and goes up to $250 per hour. I base sessions upon a general hourly rate of $200 per hour. Rate changes based on time, number of sessions, and day of the appointment (weekday vs. weekend).

  • If you arrive 30 minutes or later for your appointment, it will be automatically rescheduled for a later time or date.

  • I do not do any lettering whatsoever or portraits/photo realism.

 

PAYMENT

My preferred form of payment is Zelle. I do, of course, accept Cash, ApplePay, and Credit Cards. I do have to charge a 3-4% processing fee for credit cards.
