Policies
This page serves as a resource detailing what to expect in booking a tattoo with me. As a self-employed, full-time artist, these policies are essential in creating a space grounded in healthy boundaries and respect for each other.
Please take your time in reading through this page, and reach out with any questions or need for clarification!
​
Deposits
A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. This deposit is submitted when you choose an appointment date through a link I send to you via Instagram. In this DM you will also find a price estimate to allow you to budget.
​
RESCHEDULING
Your deposit will be valid for up to one reschedule as long as I receive at least 48 hours notice. After the 1st reschedule, a new $75 deposit will be required to reserve an appointment and your old deposit will be forfeited.
​
In the case that I need to reschedule, I will reach out to you and we can reschedule without damage to your deposit.
​
CANCELLATIONS
I completely understand changing your mind about a tattoo - sometimes the timing just isn't right! My deposits are non-refundable to protect my time and energy, so I encourage you to make sure you're ready to commit to an appointment before sending a deposit. On a case-by-case basis, I'm open to sending deposits back as long as you give me at least 48 hours notice.
If you do not give at least 48 hours notice, your deposit will be forfeited.
​
NO SHOWS
Your deposit will be forfeited, and you will not be able to create future appointments.
​
LATE POLICY
If you are 30 mins (or more) late, your appointment will be cancelled and your original deposit will be forfeited. A new $75 deposit will be required to secure a new appointment. Arriving late to your appointment affects my other appointments for the day, please let me know if you won't make it on time!
​
EMERGENCIES
I understand, shit happens! Please reach out to me in any case, and let me know what's going on. I'm willing to be flexible on a case-by-case basis.
​
Pricing
My appointments generally take anywhere between 1-5 hours, most falling around 2-3 hours.
I price by piece with a $150 minimum (start up cost). Most tattoos fall in the $200-$400 range
I'm happy to work with reasonable budgets, and if you'd like a price quote prior to your appointment, feel free to ask
I would like to keep my tattoos accessible for all income brackets, and am happy to work with reasonable budgets.
​
Please be aware that added color, shading, detail, placement, and size all affect the time needed to complete your tattoo and will be reflected in the overall price.
​
MINIMUM
My current minimum is $150. This covers the first hour of your tattoo, and applies even for small tattoos that take less than an hour. This serves as startup costs which include supplies, overhead, and my time spent designing and scheduling the appointment.
​
FLASH PIECES
Flash pieces will be tattooed at or above the minimum size, and can include color or design adjustments upon request. All adjustments or size changes will be reflected in the overall price, and will be noted with a new quote.
​
CUSTOM PIECES
I love taking on your custom ideas! Most of my custom pieces range between $200-$500.
Tattoos with black ink only and simple linework will take the least amount of time.
Tattoos that include color, shading and small detail will take longer, as well as tattoos placed in areas like: ribs, chest, stomach, back, hands
These areas require more stretching and concentration, and will therefore take longer.
