Booking Information
Rates
I price based on the complexity of the piece, size in inches, and the time it takes me to complete the design. I hold a $250 minimum for flash and a $300 minimum for customs. Most of my tattoos range from 1.5-3hrs, though I tend to work rather quickly. Larger pieces typically take 3+ hours if full color and shading are required. The amount of time a tattoo will take depends on the sizing, placement, and the complexity of the design. Cost estimates may be discussed prior to your appointment via EMAIL ONLY if correct and specific information is given at the time of inquiry/booking. (A note for BIPOC ONLY: See Sliding scale information below)
Deposits
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book your appointment (unless there’s an otherwise stated flash sale, deposit may differ). This deposit goes towards the final cost of your tattoo. I take deposits via credit/debit card through the Square booking system at the time of selecting your appointment date and time. Deposits are required to ensure I am able to be compensated for my time in drafting and drawing the design if the client cancels or doesn’t show up for their appointment. I have a 72 hour rescheduling policy that you can find more about in my FAQ’s.
Final Payment Options
Deposits will be paid via online booking link for Square ONLY. Final payments will be taken in person, CASH ONLY. I will never take final payment in any other format than the above unless I am working a pop-up event.
NO VENMO, NO CASHAPP, NO ZELLE
Tipping
Tipping is optional but much appreciated! If you would like to tip, 10-20% is the industry standard. You are also welcome to tip in other ways if you’d like, for example: ceramic goods, art, things related to my hobbies/creative endeavors & treats (dairy free pls).
Money is a difficult conversation but please feel free to come forward with any questions that you might have around finances as far as the tattoo process goes. I hope to be as transparent as possible and make this experience comfortable for you.
Sliding Scale Information
My sliding scale rate is variable based on needs and catered specifically for BIPOC individuals. I will charge my regular fee, if I do not receive an inquiry about my sliding scale. Flash with posted price is set and cannot be changed (I try to make flash at different price points available to all budgets, although if you are truly interested in a particular piece that may be out of your budget please add that to your booking inquiry.)
Please let me know in advance if you would like to use the sliding scale system so that I can design a tattoo that reflects your ideal budget & properly compensates me for my time.
Consider paying less if you identify as BIPOC and fall within the following marginalized groups: LGBTQ+, SWers, disabled folks, and unpaid community organizers.
Pop-ups, Work Retreats, Company Parties, Bulk Mobile Inquires, etc.
Got an event that you want me to pop up at?? Sounds like a good time for everyone around! Use the event form to let me know a little more about your event/organization and I’ll get back to you with general bulk tattoo quote information and pricing.
