Q. What is your hourly rate?
A. My hourly rate is $200 and my minimum is $180.
Q. Do you do cover-ups?
A. Yes, absolutely. I offer cover-ups for both tattoos and scars. I require a consultation for all cover-up projects to determine the best course of action right for you.
Q. Do consultations cost anything?
A. Never. Consultations are always free and there's never an obligation to book immediately (or ever). I usually prefer to consult for most custom pieces. They tend to be about 20-30 minutes and can be in person or virtual.
Q. I want to book an appointment. How do I do that?
A. Go back to my "How to book an appointment" page. Once we ve discussed the what's and the when's, l will prompt you to pay the required deposit to lock in that appointment slot.
Q. Do you tattoos hands, necks, faces?
A. Yes, but l am selective on the projects 1 take. Reach out with your ideas and let's see what we can make happen.
Q. What's up with the deposit?
A. Deposits are required to hold any appointment time. It is $100 per person and is non-refundable. They do go towards the final cost and are subtracted on the final session it doing multiples. Deposits also go towards time spent drawing even if we never end up tattooing.
Q. Can I see the design before the appointment?
A. I do not send out artwork to clients for a number of reasons. As I tell most of my clients, you'll see your design on the day of the appointment. I always allot time to make any minor changes including color and size. It is of great importance to me to make sure I create something you can be proud to wear, but l also need to minimize any excess back and forth. For more abstract pieces, or for people who are uncomfortable with waiting, I recommend we schedule a quick virtual consultation within 3 days of your appointment.
Q. Can 1 bring a guest?
A. Absolutely! You're welcome to bring 1 additional guest into the room with us.
Q. What are things I can do to prepare for our appointment?
A. Eat a hearty meal within 1-2 hours before your appointment. Wear something that exposes the area we are working on. You're welcome to bring snacks or drinks (non-alcoholic) to your appointment or we have some to share! Stay hydrated and avoid heavy sun exposure.
