Scheduling Policies & Information

Full Day - $1200 

8 hour session, including a 30-minute lunch break. Be sure to bring a lunch/snacks or plan to pick up food near the studio.

For large-scale projects like sleeves, back pieces, legs, and body suits, the first session is a full day. This gives us time to properly lay out your stencil, complete any drawing with markers directly onto the body, and get through lining out as much of the design as possible in one sitting. Starting a project with a solid foundation from the start means the sessions that follow go smoother and faster.

Once the design is mapped out and established, follow up sessions can be scheduled as full day (8hr), large day (6hr), or half day (4hr) slots depending on the project and what feels financially sustainable for you. We can figure this out together as a we go.

Large Day - $900

6 hour session, including a 30-minute lunch break. Be sure to bring lunch/snacks or plan to pick up food near the studio.

This option is very common for multi-session projects and large one-shot designs that can be completed in a single session, as I tends to be a good middle ground from full day and half day options. Anytime I have a full day or large day session booked, you are guaranteed to be my only client for the day, this includes avoiding interruptions from consultation appointments.

Half Day - $600

4 hour session, including a buffer for setup, breaks, and photos.

This option works great for one-shot designs and multi-session projects, once the outline has been mapped out, or for clients who prefer shorter sessions for the comfort and sustainability. There’s still real progress made, and you leave feeling less wiped out and exhausted.

If you end up wanting more time, there’s always the option to extend the session at my hourly rate ($150), provided there isn’t another tattoo appointment booked after yours that day.

Small-Medium One Shot- $200-450

Final pricing/scheduling depends on size and complexity of the design and will be confirmed during your consultation. My minimum is $200.

If an ongoing projects only requires a small or medium slot to wrap up, we’ll figure out the best approach together. These are booked on a case by case basis, and not a normal booking option for multi-session designs.

A deposit is required to hold all appointments, stays on file through the duration of your project and goes towards the final cost of your tattoo on the last session. Amounts vary depending on the scale of your project and the initial design work involved, all of which are confirmed during your consultation.

• One Shot Small, Medium, or Half Day options - $100

• One Shot Large Day option - $200

• Multi- Session Series Project - $500

This deposit holds you appointment(s) and applies towards the final cost of your tattoo. It is non-refundable and non transferable. They are usually tied to a single project. In some cases, clients want to roll right into a new project right after completing the original deposited design. This is an available option, provided the next projects starts within 90 days, just ask and we’ll figure it out together. 

Deposits are valid for 90 days before a project begins. Once tattooing begins, the deposit remains active until the project is completed. I understand that life throws us curve balls, and sometimes a project can stall. I’m happy to work with you and take a break from sessions up to a max of 90 days.

First and foremost, life happens, and I do what I can to be as reasonable as possible. All I ask is at least 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. I find this is the most fair approach for what life can throw at us most times.

Within 48 hours: A rescheduling fee applies. Small, Medium, & Half day one shot appointments will require a new $100 deposit to get back on the books. $150 for Series projects with multiple sessions.

Series Projects: 

Large scale Japanese projects progress in stages; 1) linework and black shading, 2) soft black and greys, 3) and finally color. It is best for the final outcome of your tattoo that no more than 4 weeks pass between sessions during each stage. This is the most important when it comes to the initial stage involving black shading, to ensure that the black pigment all settles at a similar rate. That way you can’t visibly see where one session ended and another began. If a reschedule occurs in the middle of this stage it can delay progress of the next session, as we may need to go back into previous completed areas to blend the sessions together, overall costing you more money in the end. I usually offer the option to take a scheduling break in between stages, if needed financially. These scheduling breaks have a max of 90 days between stages.

Designs are reviewed together, in person, on the day of your appointment. Designs will not be sent digitally for review ahead of time. I put aside time at the beginning of your appointment for minor adjustments if needed before we start tattooing. Major changes that require more time to draw and prepare will lead to a free rescheduling of your appointment so we make sure we get it right. If when we go to review your new design, after rescheduling, and more major changes are required, I may not be the artist for you.

If the concept of the design changes completely to a different design after artwork is completed, then a new deposit will be required. 

Nothing is ever rushed, I make sure everything feels right and we’re on the same wave-length before we start tattooing.

Payment is due at the end of each session. Partial payment options are not available and I do not accept advance payment for work that has not yet been completed.

I accept these forms of payment:

• Cash

• Zelle

• Venmo

• Credit Card via Stripe (6% fee)

If you would like to use a credit card but want to avoid the 6% processing fee, I strongly suggest adding your credit card as a payment option in Venmo.

Properly documenting the process and final product through photos is integral to my business. I retain the right to use these photos on social media, in my marketing, and on my website. If you wish to not have your face in photos, just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate your right to privacy. If you would like to be tagged in social media posts, be sure to give me your IG handle.

Wearing all black works beautifully when it comes to photographing final sessions. Completely optional but always appreciated. That being said, never wear your favorite clothes to a tattoo session, I am not responsible for any staining to your clothing from the tattoo process. Comfy, loose fitting clothing tends to be best while getting tattooed
