Consultation

 

The first step is a consultation to discuss your project.

We will go over direction, size, and subject matter, and discuss any reference material you may have.

Once the concept is solid, I’ll take a tracing of the area and create a layout to ensure the tattoo fits the body properly and give you a loose idea of the structure.

In-person consultations are preferred, but phone or Zoom consults are available for out-of-town clients.

Booking & Deposits

 

Booking requires a deposit to schedule appointments. Deposits range from $100–$1000 depending on project size
($100-300 for single-session tattoos, and anything up to half sleeves. $500 for sleeves and legs, $500+ for backs and bodysuits).
Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable. They cover consultation, research, drawing, and preparation. They do not apply to the final tattoo cost.

Booking takes place quarterly, and in 3 month blocks. Ongoing projects book first. Then pre-existing clients and new projects. 

​​

Expectations 

 

Appointments are typically 2–3 hours and can be scheduled as close as two weeks apart. Large-scale projects require a commitment to at least one session per month to ensure consistent healing and long-term quality.

All day sessions are available for out of town clients.

Rates

 

My 2025 rate is $250/hour, subject to annual adjustment due to rising costs.
