FAQs

  • I work fast, clean, and with intention. Because of that, my rates are based on session type, not on how many hours the tattoo ends up taking. Most of my large pieces are finished in 4–6 hours, and the final cost reflects the value of the work, not a stopwatch.

    Full Day – $1,200

    A full-day session covers any piece that takes 3 hours or more, including large illustrative/dark work, flowing macabre designs, and multi-element concepts.
    This option gives us the time and freedom to complete bigger projects in a single sitting, without rushing and without breaking the work into unnecessary separate sessions.

    Half Day – $600

    Half-day sessions are reserved for small pieces that require under 2.5 hours.
    This is ideal for simpler designs, single-element tattoos, or smaller placements. (about 5 inches)
    If your concept ends up taking more time than expected, it automatically becomes a full-day session.

    Why I Price This Way

    I specialize in detailed illustration, dark/macabre concepts, and body-flowing designs. These styles require focus and consistency, and I work at a pace that delivers high-quality results quickly.
    Charging a flat rate protects you from hourly surprises while allowing me to stay fully locked in on the art rather than the clock.

  • The deposit comes off the total cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, it will come off the cost of the last session.

    All deposits are non-refundable. If you have to reschedule, you must do so 5 days before the day of your appointment; otherwise, you will lose your deposit and must leave a new deposit to book a new appointment.

    You may reschedule your appointment two times for free. After that, I charge an additional $50 Rescheduling fee

    Deposits are not transferable to other people.

    Deposits are only good for the design that was discussed. If you change your mind before your appointment, you must leave a new deposit for the different design.

    If you are running late for your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible. Arriving more than 20 minutes late to your appointment will result in that time being added to the cost of your tattoo at my rate.

  • I’ll apply a medical-grade Second Skin bandage at the end of your session. This stays on for 4–5 full days without removal.

    While It’s On

    • Do not lift or replace it.

    • Some buildup under the bandage is normal — ink, plasma, and a cloudy look are all expected.

    • Avoid heavy sweating, long hot showers, swimming, or soaking.

    • If the edges lift slightly but the seal is still good, leave it alone.

    When to Remove It

    Remove the bandage on day 4 or 5, whichever I recommend for your specific piece.

    How to Remove It

    • Take it off in a warm shower so the adhesive releases easier.

    • Peel it slowly, pulling the bandage down and along the skin, not straight up.

    • Wash the tattoo gently with clean hands and fragrance-free soap.

    • Pat dry with a clean paper towel and let it air-dry for a few minutes.

    After It’s Off

    • Do not re-bandage.

    • Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion once or twice a day for the next two weeks.

    • Expect some flaking and itchiness — don’t scratch or pick.

    What to Avoid

    For at least 2–3 weeks:

    • Pools, hot tubs, beaches

    • Tanning or direct sun

    • Heavy rubbing from clothing or gym equipment

    • Picking/scabbing

    What’s Normal

    • Mild redness

    • Itchiness

    • A dull or “matte” look while the top layers heal

    Not Normal

    • Spreading redness

    • red lines around parameter

    • Intense heat or worsening pain
      If anything feels off, take the bandage off and contact me.

    Fill out all of the required information and I will contact you.

  • MOST OF MY WORK IS FREEHAND. if your appointment requires a drawing beforehand: I do not send pictures of drawings before the appointment unless I have any questions about the design. You will be able to see your design the day of the tattoo appointment. I always plan to have 15-20 minutes before the tattoo for any design adjustments. If you require more substantial design changes than can be completed in that time I may require a $50-$100 re designing fee and we will reschedule your appointment for another day.

  • A freehand tattoo is designed directly on your skin by the artist instead of being traced from a stencil. The artwork is drawn on in real time, allowing the design to flow naturally with your body’s shape, movement, and anatomy. This approach creates a one-of-a-kind tattoo that’s tailored specifically to you and can’t be exactly replicated on anyone else.
