FAQ

Whether you're considering a small, simple tattoo or a larger, more involved project, the best way to get started is to give me a call. I'll get back to you as soon as possible so we can discuss your idea and determine the best next step.

Depending on the project, we can arrange a consultation at the shop or schedule an appointment directly if we're able to work out the details over the phone or through messages.

Consultations are always free. A 20% deposit is required to secure an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo.

Pricing is based on the size, detail, and overall complexity of the design rather than an hourly rate. This allows us to focus on the process at a comfortable pace, and not pressured by the clock when taking breaks or settling into a session.

Smaller tattoos typically range from our $80 minimum to around $200, depending on the design. As the size, detail, and complexity increase, so does the price.

For larger projects, pricing is arranged by session, with rates determined by the scope of work. These sessions may be structured as half-day or full-day appointments, with the price agreed upon in advance.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Walk-ins are welcome whenever my schedule allows! As the shop's sole artist, my availability can vary depending on the projects I'm working on and the appointments already scheduled. Because many of my projects require dedicated time and attention, same-day availability isn't always possible.

If you have a specific idea in mind or are hoping to get tattooed soon, I recommend reaching out to schedule an appointment rather than waiting for an opening. This is often the quickest and most reliable way to secure time for your tattoo.

You're always welcome to contact me about availability, and I'll be happy to discuss your options.

My work primarily focuses on custom tattoos, with each design made to suit the individual client. I refine designs to emphasize readability, composition, and how well they will translate to the skin over time.

You're encouraged to bring any reference images, sketches, or ideas you have, whether they're detailed examples or simply a starting point for discussion. You don't need to arrive with a finished design in mind; It’s an artist’s job to develop your ideas into a piece that works well as a tattoo.

As a general policy, I don't directly copy existing tattoo designs or other artists' artwork. Instead, references are used to communicate your ideas and guide the creation of an original piece. This approach respects the work of other artists and their intellectual property while allowing me to bring my own experience to the design.

There may be exceptions for certain sentimental designs, logos, or established symbols where faithful reproduction is important.
