FAQ

WHAT’S YOUR RATE?

My hourly is $250 with a $500 minimum.
I'll be able to provide a rough estimate during your consultation. A tighter budget just means reducing the size or detail.
There’s a $200 deposit that goes toward drawing time for custom work.
For flash, deposit will go towards the last hour of your tattoo.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU ACCEPT APPOINTMENTS?

I only book appointments through submission form and email.

In order to manage requests, I open my books 3 times a year and only like to book a few months at a time — life is too unpredictable to book out any further.

I do have a waitlist where you can submit your ideas in case there’s openings! See Booking

WHERE DO YOU WORK?

I work in a private studio in Sacramento, CA.
The address is provided after our consultation and deposit is received.

CAN I SEE MY DESIGN BEFORE THE TATTOO?

Yes.
I’ll send your custom art a couple days before your appointment and will make a single set of changes if needed. I truly believe this is a collaborative experience and happy to adjust until we’re both comfortable. Further changes will be done in-person during the tattoo appointment.

WHO CAN GET TATTOOED?

Tattoos are for all skin tones, genders, body types - everyone is always welcome!!
It’s important to let me know of any health issues that may interfere with your tattoo before booking your appointment.
Please note you can not get a tattoo while pregnant or breastfeeding.
You also must be 18+ to get a tattoo, it's illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 in the state of CA, even with parental consent.

CAN I GET SOMEONE ELSE’S DESIGN?

Generally no, unless you have the permission of the artist. I also don’t repeat my designs, but if you tell me what you like about them I can draw your own unique piece :)

DO YOU DO COVER UPS OR COLOR?

Almost never. My fine-line style does not lend well to covering old tattoos and I’m not very comfortable working in color. It’s always recommended to find a tattoo artist who’s portfolio fits your design needs.

WHY WAS MY DESIGN NOT CHOSEN?

Im so sorry if your idea wasn’t chosen!
Unfortunately I have a limited amount of spots and pick projects that really align with what I currently find inspiring, which is a constant ebb and flow. Just because I didn’t choose your design this time doesn’t mean I wont choose it next time! So please do submit again.

DO YOU EVER TRAVEL FOR WORK?

I’m very interested in doing guest spots around the world. Hopefully 2025 I’ll have a list of places where I’ll be making tattoos. If you’d like me to travel to your city, let me know in my contact form! Any guest spots for the future will be announced with my newsletter.
