Submit a request form! Include a brief description of the tattoo you’re interested in getting as well as reference pictures if you have them. Expect an e-mail reply within 1-5 days notifying you wether or not I can accommodate your project during this booking cycle. If your request is accepted you’ll receive an estimate and a link via email to book your appointment.

Typically 1-3 months are booked at a time. If you are wanting to book further out, please wait to submit your request. Flash pieces can often be booked on shorter notice. My usual schedule is Wed-Sat from 11am-7pm, although occasionally Mondays and Tuesdays are available.

I am currently booking $750 half day appointments (3-4 hours), or $1400 full day appointments (6-7 hours w/ a lunch break). For pieces that take less than 3 hours, an hourly rate of $200 will be applied. Flash tattoos are typically priced by the piece but can vary based on size/placement. A booking fee of $100 or $200 will be required to book your appointment and will be applied entirely to the cost of your tattoo upon its completion.
(Clients booking sleeves, back-pieces, and other large scale projects are encouraged to book at least one full day session every other month, or one half day every month to ensure your tattoo is finished in a timely fashion)
Please note: Sleeves and back-pieces can take between 20 and 40 hours to complete depending on certain factors—most can be accomplished in about a year if you’re committed to booking regularly.

Probably not. Due to the volume of requests and the time I take with each design, most drawings are not completed until very close to the time of the appointment. This can be scary and requires a lot of trust, which is extremely appreciated. If you like the work in my portfolio, chances are good that you’ll like what I make for you!

Currently consults are reserved for large scale pieces and coverups, which require a lot of planning, and with clients who may not have been tattooed before. Typically the information you provide on the consult form is enough for her to design your tattoo, or at least get 90% of the way there. There will be an opportunity to review and revise the artwork at your appointment before you get tattooed.
-
I take on coverups on a case-by-case basis. Coverups generally require an in person consultation before we can proceed with the project so that I can see the current tattoo, discuss options and expectations before proceeding.
-
I travel occasionally for conventions or to do guest spots in other cities. For my current travel dates please see the home page.

Please don’t, many of these products are unregulated and can cause serious adverse reactions. I have pain-relief products that I can provide a client as needed throughout the tattoo session. However, I do not allow clients to arrive to an appointment with numbing cream applied.
