Rates/Pricing:
I offer two rates for longer projects, and flat rates are quoted for anything smaller!
Half day rate: $800
Full day rate: $1200
Half days are 3-4 hours
Full days are anything passed 4 hours.
You will be quoted prior to your appointment date so you’ll have an estimate on your tattoo!
Muli-session projects are always a rough estimate and can vary!
Deposits & Appointments:
Your deposit holds your appointment for you and goes toward the cost of the tattoo and is non-refundable. Deposits will be deducted from your last tattoo appointment, if you require multiple appointments for your tattoo. If you need to reschedule your appointment, I require 48hrs notice or you will be required to pay another deposit in order to reschedule. The deposit covers the missed appointment.
Designing:
I do not send out designs prior to the appointment date. If there is any concern, an in person consult or video chat can be scheduled if you are traveling in for your appointment.
Keep in mind I start designing no more than 1-5 days prior to your appointment date, depending on the size of your project. Booking tattoo appointments with me does require trust in my work and skills to give you a custom design you’ll love. If for any reason changes need to be made, there is a possibility of needing to reschedule your appointment.
Small changes are typically able to be done in that same day, large or complete design changes are likely to require rescheduling, and could result in another deposit needing to be placed.
Prepping for your Tattoo!:
-Be sure to stay hydrated with water and electrolytes
-Get good, healthy meals in the days prior, and the days after to promote good healing, and to increase your pain tolerance!
-Get a good nights sleep the days prior and after, again for good healing and to increase your pain tolerance!
-Exercise is also a great way to promote good healing, and increasing pain tolerance!
-Moisturize! This will help your tattoos saturation and healing go a lot smoother and be more vibrant!
What to bring with you:
You are welcome and encouraged to bring snacks and water! Longer appointments we will break for lunch in the middle. You can bring a small pillow, small blanket, and headphones, to make yourself more comfortable. I do ask that these are clean! Watching entertainment or listening to music I do ask you wear headphones as to not distract others working around us.
Only one person is allowed to accompany you at your tattoo appointment, I have limited space, so I cannot allow more than that.
Please bring a valid, government issued photo ID!
Aftercare:
My after care is very simple! You will either leave the studio in a hypoallergenic adhesive bandage (if you are not sensitive to adhesive!).
Or, I will wrap you in Saran Wrap.
-The adhesive bandage:
You will only leave this on for 24-48 hours! No longer than that!
You will remove this bandage in and at the end of a warm shower, the adhesive will lift easier with the steam! Slowly peel the bandage, then wash your tattoo with your hands and liquid antibacterial soap ONLY!
Rinse your tattoo completely, then pat it dry with a clean towel.
Your tattoo will become dry and flakey over the following days, you will wash your tattoo 2x a day (or as needed) with liquid antibacterial soap.
Only moisturize with a scent free body lotion when it feels dry!
DO NOT pick, scratch, or scrub your tattoo! Let the flaking fall off naturally!
DO NOT swim, sun or UV bed tan, sauna, until completely healed! (Roughly 1 month)
After that, please use protective wear to avoid excessive sun exposure to ensure longevity of your tattoo!
-The Saran Wrap:
You can leave this wrap on up to 4 hours, after that please remove wrap, and clean as instructed above!
