FAQs

  • Most of my work is custom and freehand, designed directly on the body to achieve the best possible flow and composition. This approach allows each piece to fit naturally and feel cohesive with the body.

    I price my work based on the piece, placement, and overall scope, not by the hour. This allows me to focus fully on the design and final result without rushing or watching the clock.

    I offer two booking options:

    Half Day — $600
    Best suited for smaller pieces or simpler concepts.

    Full Day — $1200
    Larger custom work starts at my full day rate. This includes most medium to large pieces and anything requiring more detail and composition.

    I work efficiently, but pricing reflects the quality of the work, experience, and final piece—not the time it takes to complete it.

    If a design can be simplified to fit within a half day, I’m happy to adjust the concept. Otherwise, it will fall into my full day rate.

    For larger or ongoing projects (sleeves, back pieces, etc.), sessions are booked in full day increments.

    A deposit is required to secure your appointment and will be applied toward the final cost of your tattoo.

  • 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.

  • Click the booking form button on the home page.

    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.
