booking info

flash

I do all of my booking through this site. I have all my clients choose/claim their flash design before our appointment. if you are interested in changing your flash piece because of any reason, you can pick from all of my available flash either prior to or at our appointment. most of my flash is only done once, but I have a limited selection of repeatable flash. i also can do flash variations on some of my pieces that aren't repeatable.

if you would like to book a flash tattoo, please head to the "book a flash tattoo appointment" page on this site. first you will be prompted to choose a flash design and "check out" pay the $50 non refundable deposit for the appointment. that $50 deposit constitutes a deposit on an appointment. please limit your flash design purchases to one per transaction. if you are interested in multiple flash designs, please claim or "purchase" them in separate transactions.

after the transaction is completed, you will be directed to a page where you are prompted to pick a date and time for your appointment. once you have selected your appointment, you will be prompted to fill out a form before you finalize your appointment. after that form is filled out and you submit it, you will receive automated confirmation emails both of your flash design selection and your appointment date/time.

I will then reach out via email for any necessary correspondence. though please dont hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

i have 9 available tattoo spots per week -

wednesdays at 2:00 PM

thursdays and fridays at 2:00 PM and 5:30 PM

saturdays and sundays at 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM

if these times dont work for you, please send me an email and we can figure out a time that works for both of us.

i will send you an email the day before your appointment with important information regarding your appointment (waiver, studio location, other info.) due to an overwhelmingly large amount of cancellations recently, you are now required to respond to this email, confirming that you have read through all the information and will be attending your appointment. if i do not receive a response to your email, prior to our appointment, your appointment will be cancelled and you will have to rebook your appointment and pay another $50 deposit.

custom

i love doing custom work! it helps push my outside the normal bounds of my work and can be such a fun collaborative process :)

if you are interested in a custom piece, please keep in mind that i DO NOT do exact replica tattoos, or other artists work (with selective exceptions where the original artist is informed of your intent to get their work tattooed by another artist). all work done by me is done "in my style." if you are looking to get an exact or very specific image, i am happy to refer you to another tattoo artist who I think will be a better fit for your idea.

if you are interested in booking a custom piece with me, please go to the "book a custom tattoo appointment" page on this site. first you will be prompted to select a date and time for an appointment. you will then be asked to fill out a brief booking form followed by being asked to pay a $50 non-refundable deposit* to secure your appointment. after this, you will receive an automated confirmation email, confirming your appointment. if needed, I will contact you via email, to clarify any questions I may have. after reviewing your submission, if I dont think I am a good fit for your idea, I will fully refund your $50 deposit

*deposits are only refundable if I decline to complete your custom tattoo idea

I am continuously working on remaining accessible while also making sure my own needs are met as tattooing is my primary and only form of income. I am always open to having respectful and honest conversations with clients about money, but at the end of the day I ask that clients please respect the way I price my work.

I take CASH as a form of payment EXCLUSIVELY. I will continue to send you a price range prior to your tattoo appointment for both flash and custom work. if there is a change in pricing from the sent quote, any additional funds can be sent via zelle.

as of march 1, 2023 I will be implementing a new pricing policy. see below -

- my minimum for all work is $200.

- i charge a $50 deposit for ALL flash and custom tattoo appointments

- this deposit is NON REFUNDABLE (unless I decline your custom tattoo idea)

- i charge $200 for the first hour of actual tattooing for ALL flash and custom tattoos

- white identifying clients will be asked to pay $200 for every hour after the first hour.

- all BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) clients will have the option to pay $100-$200 sliding scale for every hour after the first hour*

*price range estimates will be given to every client the day before their appointment

I also do offer deferred payment plans to help with pricing. please do not hesitate to reach out about payment plans. please keep in mind that payment plans are prioritized for trans, fat-identifying, queer, BIPOC, or disabled individuals. I also offer further reduced pricing for all dark skin individuals.

tipping is never necessary but always very much apprecaited! money is always nice but I also like clothes, weed, plants, candles, art, tchotchkes and tea!

covid policies

i try my best to respond to emails in the order in which they are received however the influx in emails I receive can be overwhelming. please allow 1-4 days for email responses. I truly appreciate y'all's patience.

emails/correspondance

even now, in 2023, covid is still a major issue and threat to peoples health, financial stability, and life in general. as such, we all need to continue to make steps towards protecting ourselves and others.

as of march 1st, 2023 i no long require proof of vaccination or a negative covid test. as of right now, i am only asking that all clients wear a mask for the entire duration of your appointment. if you are unvaccinated, please wear an N95, KN95, or 2 regular masks.

if I get covid, deposits will still be non-refundable, but I will prioritize a rescheduled appointment with you, even if its outside my normal working hours. i will reach out via email as soon as I test positive to reschedule your appointment for a minimum of 1 week after I test positive. i will be double masked/KN95 masked if your appointment falls within 7-10 days of me testing positive. this policy is in place based on the CDC's guidelines.

do not come to your appointment if you are feeling sick - just let me know as soon as you can and we can reschedule at no extra cost. if you find out that you have tested positive or come into contact with someone who tested positive after your appointment, please let me know as soon as you can.
