• I specialize in illustrative handpoke tattoos.

• I do not do machine tattoos.

• Handpoke tattoos are done completely machine-free with just needles and ink. Handpoked tattoos are just as permanent as any other tattoo and the process is almost entirely the same.

• When done correctly, they are generally less traumatic to the skin, less painful, and tend to result in both an easier and quicker healing process.

• My general work days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and some alternating weekends from 11am-5pm. On occasion I can make scheduling exceptions which will be reflected as an additional fee of $50+ when booking.

I book through an inquiry form which is linked here. The link will only be open when my books are open.

You will be asked to fill out info regarding design, size, placement, availability, and budget. Please be sure to fill this out thoroughly as it will help me to provide an accurate pricing estimate and determine if I’m able to schedule you.

I will respond to submissions via email. Please allow at least a few days to a week for a response after submitting your form.

Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee an appointment. I go through inquiries based on what works best with my schedule. If you do not receive an email from me then I was unable to book you at this time.

Please refer to my “Flash” story highlight on Instagram when picking available flash. You can also find up to date flash here.

• My minimum for flash designs is $150, though many pieces may range from $200-300+ based on the design, size, placement, and color.

• Repeatable flash is always available

• Non-repeatable flash will only be done once but variations can be done again at request.

• I design each flash piece with the intent of tattooing it myself and I currently do not sell tattoo tickets or the use of my flash in any way.

When filling out the booking form please be as thorough as possible with the description of your custom idea and include reference photos when possible.

• My minimum for custom work is $200.

• A first draft of the design will be sent 1-2 days before the appointment.

• Any requested edits will be provided at the time of the appointment. If extensive edits/major redesigns are needed it will be reflected in the final cost of your tattoo.

• I will not copy other artist’s work so please be very clear in what you’re looking for in your request.

I may reject your custom request at my own discretion.

To preserve the integrity of my tattoos for longterm aging, certain designs have a strict minimum size.

• For very simple designs I have a minimum of 1.5” to 2”

• For more detailed designs I require them to be done at a minimum 3” to 5”, or palm/hand sized,depending on the piece.

Placement will affect pricing. I charge more for difficult placement/areas prone to touchups including hands, feet, stomach, sternum, ribs, neck, etc. I also charge more for arm/leg band designs that wrap.

Please try to dress appropriately for the placement of your tattoo. If you’re unsure of what to wear here is what I advise per placement:

• Sternum/ Ribs - Triangle bikini top/ deep plunge top or bra

• Back - You can reverse a button up or hoodie to expose your full back

• Shoulder/collarbone/upper back - Tube top or be able to lower tank straps

• Hip/lower back - Anything with a loose waistband that can be lowered easily as well as a bikini bottom or something similar that is thin or can untie at the waist.

• Ankle/foot - Please remove tight fitting socks before the appointment as they may leave pressure indents on the skin which will affect stencil placement!

• Neck - Please be able to tie up/ pin back your hair

Depending on your clothing I may also tape it in place to keep the tattoo area clearly exposed. I can also provide pasties if needed.

When responding to a booking inquiry, I’ll provide a couple appointment times for you to choose from.

• A $100 deposit is then required to secure the appointment time and design. The deposit can be made via zelle or paypal.

• Deposits are non-refundable, even in the event of a cancellation, and applies towards the final cost of the tattoo. If you do not send a deposit within 24 hours of confirming your appointment, the time slot and design may be forfeited and offered to someone else.

• I am able to book an appointment of up to 3 people at once. If you and someone else would like to schedule the same appointment time please indicate that in your booking inquiry as this will affect what appointment slots will be available to you.

I want my work to remain accessible and I am always willing to work with a budget when possible, however it is not guranteed. Please visit my Pricing page for examples.

• Pricing is per design, not hourly.

• Placement will affect pricing. For example hands, feet, torso placements will cost more.

• Cash, zelle, and paypal are my only accepted forms of payment for the remaining cost at the end of an appointment.

Please know that tips are never required but very much welcomed & appreciated! The price that you are quoted for when booking a tattoo is the only amount I expect at the completion of your tattoo. If you are ever interested in tipping, know that non-monetary gifts such as art, tea, snacks, and other gifts are just as appreciated! ♡

Properly prepping your skin and body can have a significant impact during the tattoo process and healing. I strongly recommend prepping in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure the best results.

• Come well hydrated to your appointment. You’re welcome to bring a water bottle and water is provided at the studio also. Hydrated skin takes ink better and heals more effectively.

• Moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your tattoo. Moisturizing especially helps tougher areas of skin such as knees, elbows, and hands, to take ink easier.

• Come to your appointment well fed. Do not get tattooed on an empty stomach, this can result in lightheadedness, nausea, passing out, and overall discomfort during the tattoo. Please bring snacks if you’d like.

• Refrain from drinking alcohol or caffeinated drinks at least 24 hours before your tattoo. Both are known to thin your blood, causing more bleeding during the tattooing process and can worsen healing.

• Do not shave before your appointment. It is best to tattoo a freshly shaven area, which I will be able to do at the appointment. Even slight regrowth after one day can irritate the skin and make tattooing more difficult.

• Keep your skin out of excessive sun exposure before your tattoo. I cannot tattoo sun damaged skin until the area is fully healed.

If you are 15+ minutes late to your appointment it is likely that it will affect my next appointment. This will result in a $30 late fee or I may need to reschedule you. You will get one chance to reschedule this appointment with a new deposit of $50.

If you cannot make your appointment for any reason please let me know at least 48 hours before. It’s always ok to cancel and reschedule for any reason as long as you give me proper notice. In the event of sickness or any other sudden emergencies that may occur with less notice, please still reach out when able and I’d be happy to discuss a potential reschedule.

• No call no shows will be blacklisted.

• Your original deposit is non-refundable. Your deposit can cover one rescheduling.

• For weekdays, if you need to reschedule a second time or more I will require a new deposit of $50 each time.

• For weekends, I require a new deposit of $50 on the first reschedule.

• If you are from out of town and have set travel plans further out than I am currently booking, you are welcome to reach out and I will try to work with you to schedule an appointment.

I will not reach out to you to reschedule you, it is your responsibility to follow up with me. You do not need to wait for my next booking round to open to reschedule.

Please do not try to book with me just to claim a spot. If you are not 100% set on getting a tattoo at the moment please refrain from reaching out until you’re ready.

• If you are experiencing any possible COVID symptoms or as well as any other illnesses before the appointment please let me know and we can discuss rescheduling when you’re ready.

• If you are feeling sick or unwell at all please try to be considerate of me, the other artists, and other clients that share the space and think of rescheduling as to not spread any illnesses.

• Our studio does not require you to be masked so if you prefer to wear a mask for your own comfort or would like me to be masked as well, please let me know ahead of time. I cannot guarantee other artists or clients will be masked in the studio.

• I do not refund deposits due to COVID or any other illness in the event that you want to cancel your appointment entirely.
