https://forms.gle/5boxtbPLRKBkAbnV9

Once you fill out the form, you’ll hear from me via email within a few days. My Instagram bio will always be up to date on whether my books are open or not.

If you ghost via email twice, you will not be booked in the future. Please always reach out if you are unable to schedule an appointment.

Please note: Tips are always appreciated but never required. I love tips in forms of food, plants, art, and tchotchkes.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I specialize in fine line blackwork and black and grey. I love a piece that incorporates both heavy blackwork along with greyscale tones to give it some life. I love to tattoo skulls, chains, horses, vintage pin ups, text, ornamental/filigree, barbed wire, and anything of that nature. I pull a lot of inspiration from traditional and y2k designs. A lot of different things inspire me and I love to experiment.

what’s your flash policy?

I am consistently working on and dropping new flash. Typically flash is not repeatable, but will be clearly stated otherwise. Flash can be found in the highlights on my Instagram. Flash pricing starts at $200 and is priced at a flat rate depending on design/size/placement.

Do you do customs?

Yes! When booking a custom please keep in mind my style and skill set. Customs start at $250 and are priced as a flat rate depending on design/size/placement.

Free 30 minute consultations are always an option if you’d like to discuss your idea prior to booking. Just shoot me a DM and we can set it up!

CAN I SEE MY CUSTOM BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

Typically I do not send your custom ahead of time but on a case by case basis I will send ahead. I usually work on them 2-3 days before your appointment. Please be as clear as possible when booking a custom so I know exactly what you’re looking for!

ARE THERE PLACEMENTS YOU DO NOT TATTOO?

Currently, I do not tattoo faces, feet, fingers, and private areas.

do you TATTOO color?

I prefer to tattoo only black ink and greywash but I will do red on a case by case basis.

how much IS A DEPOSIT?

For flash and customs, deposits are $100 and go towards the final price. They are non-refundable. A reminder that your appointment is not set until I receive your deposit!

Can i get your work tattooed by another artist?

No, sorry! I understand you may not be located near me but I ask that you please do not get my work tattooed by someone else. I will be continuing to guest spot and will hopefully come to your city.

what is your RESCHEDULE/CANCELLATION/LATE policy?

I understand things come up and we may have to move your appointment! I ask that you let me know via email as soon as you know you have to reschedule.

Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule, your initial deposit will go towards one reschedule. If you need to reschedule a second time, the first deposit is forfeited and you will be required to send a new deposit. Rescheduling less than 48 hours before will result in another $100 deposit that will not go towards the total of your tattoo. Exceptions are made for emergencies regarding your health, family, or unexpected life events.

Cancellations: If you cancel an appointment you will be forfeiting your deposit entirely. If you cancel an appointment less than 48 hours prior (see emergency exceptions above) you will not be booked for the future.

No call/no shows will not be booked in the future.

Lateness: There is a 20 minute grace period from the start of your appointment time. If you arrive after you may be subjected to a $25 fee. Please communicate via IG/email as soon as you know you’re running behind!

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TATTOO?

Aftercare is SUPER important when it comes to a new tattoo as this will effect the healing. Keep your new tattoo out of the sun, do not soak in pools/baths, and try to refrain from being active (sweating). Tattoos can take up to two months to fully heal so remember to always be taking good care of your skin!

SECOND SKIN/SANIDERM: I recommend to leave the saniderm on for 2-3 days. This keeps the new tattoo (an open wound) protected from any bacteria. An ink sac may form which consists of ink and plasma. This is totally normal but I recommend removing the saniderm and cleaning the tattoo and thoroughly drying it. When it’s time to remove your second skin, remove under water and pull up from a corner closest to you and let it peel off you like a command strip. DO NOT RIP LIKE A BANDAID! Clean well with warm water and unscented soap and airdry or dry with a paper towel and continue to do so twice a day for the first two weeks. Any simple white lotion or Aquaphor (use a very thin layer, you don’t want to clog it) is fine for your new tattoo. Moisturize twice a day for the first 2-3 weeks (and also forever). Your tattoo will be fully healed when it is no longer flaking, peeling, or scabbing, and is flat to your skin.

SARAN WRAP/BLACK DRI LOC PADS: Keep these wrappings on for a few hours. When it’s time to remove, clean well with warm water and unscented soap and continue to do so twice a day for the first 2-3 weeks. Any simple white lotion or Aquaphor (use a thin layer, you don’t want to clog it) is fine for your new tattoo. Moisturize twice a day for the first 2-3 weeks. Your tattoo will be fully healed when it is no longer flaking, peeling, or scabbing, and is flat to your skin.

DO YOU DO TOUCH UPS?

Yes! Touch ups are free for the first year! After that they are $25 to cover the cost of supplies. I will do touch ups on any healed tattoos starting 6-8 weeks post your appointment if needed. You may send me a DM to schedule a touch up.

do you plan to guest in my city?

I would really love to continue to guest spot around the country and internationally. Send me a contact form if you’d love for me to come to your city!
