Frequently asked questions.
What is your age minimum for a tattoo?
You must be 18+ with any government issued I.D.
(state i.d., passport, drivers license, etc.)
What is your rate?
I do my best to give a flat rate if possible. If I am not able to give a definitive flat rate then I charge hourly at $200 USD per hour.
Many factors go into the price of the tattoo, and usually can not be determined via online. Placement, size, style, detail, attitude all are taken into account for determining final price of a tattoo. usually I can give a rough ballpark estimate if the design is on the smaller side.
For example;
(My palm) sized traditional design on the arm or leg will usually run around $250
(My hand) sized traditional design on the arm or leg will usually run around $400-$500
Do you have a minimum?
My minimums are as following;
arm or legs- $100
torso/back/feet- $120
anything above the collar, i.e. neck, face, or head- $150
How do I inquire about a consultation or appointment?
Just send me an email with the following information;
your name
what you are looking to have done with references if possible
where you’re looking to have it done at (body placement)
size of the tattoo
what style you’d like to have it done in
when you’re looking to have it done.
please provide three possible future dates and times so we can decide what will work best for the both of us. sometimes dates are already booked so we will have to choose a different date.
please be ready to leave a deposit. information on that will be provided on a returned email.
Do you require a deposit to set an appointment?
ALL appointments require a deposit. It is used to lock in the date/time of your appointment. If you did not leave a deposit, you do not have an appointment.
How much is the deposit?
Deposit amount ranges from $100-$200 depending on the scale of the work being created. Half sleeves and smaller designs will always be a one hundred dollar deposit. Larger projects like full sleeves or back pieces will require a two hundred dollar deposit.
What is your deposit policy?
The deposit amount is always applied towards the session that you’ve booked for.
The deposit can be paid for with cash in person, or made via zelle or Venmo.
If you reschedule or cancel your appointment within 72 hours of your appointment date, you will waive your initial deposit and will be required to leave a new deposit to book an additional appointment.
If you no call/no show the appointment your deposit is waived, and I may tell you to try again next year.
ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Aftercare- How do I take care of my new tattoo?
Leave the bandage on for at least a minimum of one hour. You can wear it for longer if need be.
Once you remove the bandage the new tattoo needs to be immediately cleaned with antibacterial soap i.e. dial or dove and water, rinsed, and then dried with a clean towel or paper towel.
Apply an extremely thin layer of moisture to your now cleaned and dry tattoo. Rub it in as if it were lotion. You never want to add an excessive amount.Your new tattoo isn’t just a piece of art, its also a wound and needs to be clean and breathe to heal properly. Usually a great rule of thumb is the old “less is more” saying.
the only moisturizers I currently recommend are;
-Tattoo Nectar
-Hustle Butter Deluxe
-Aquaphor
Do not pick or scratch at your new tattoo. Do not “help” the scabs come off. If they’re still on there it’s for a reason.
Do not submerge your new tattoo in water until fully healed. Most, but not all, tattoos take anywhere from 7 to 14 days to heal depending on the person and their body.
Healing can take longer if there are underlying medical conditions like diabetes.
