Consultation
The first step is to contact me through my contact page from the menu above. If I feel that your tattoo is something that I can do well, I’ll send you link for my consultation schedule. You can pick a day and time, from my available appointments, that works for you. At that point you will have my email and can contact me directly with questions or difficulties scheduling.
I do charge a $25, non refundable fee that goes toward the final cost of the tattoo if you decide to book an appointment. The nominal consultation fee ensures that I am compensated for my time and hopefully will clarify any questions you have about the tattooing and design processes so that, even if you decide not to move forward with the tattoo, you will have a better idea of how to approach the process in the future with myself or other artists.
Deposit
A $100 deposit, which also goes toward the final cost of the tattoo, is required to secure your appointment. The deposit is refundable given at least 1 week notice of cancellation or reschedule. I really try not to keep deposits, and I understand that things come up, but will do so for repeated last minute cancellations or reschedules.
Rates
My rate is $150/hr. and my minimum cost of engagement is $125. (This is the sum of consultation fee and deposit). The amount of time a tattoo takes varies based on level of detail, area of the body, client toleration of discomfort and other factors. I work as quickly as I can without sacrificing quality. I do not charge you for the time it takes to set up, do paperwork, and apply stencils, and design time is included in the cost of the tattoo.
