How do i make an appointment?

Currently, booking is for 2-4 months at a time. Once those dates are filled booking is closed until it’s time for the next round. Books opening is announced via email notification and on Instagram. To receive an email hit subscribe at the bottom of the home page.
When Books are open:
Fill out the Contact Form under the “BOOKING” tab above to get the ball rolling. If your project is accepted you will be contacted within 2 weeks of books closing. I greatly appreciate every client and request but due to the high volume of requests only people with projects being accepted during that round of booking will be contacted. Unfortunately, this is only one person who can only tattoo so many hours a day. This means I can only work on so many projects in a couple month block. Moving forward I will be prioritizing on-going projects and projects that lean toward my interests and specialties. Requests with creative freedom involved will also be prioritized. If I can’t get you in, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to tattoo you- There may be a better suited artist for your tattoo idea!

All bookings do require a $100 non-refundable deposit. After chatting, this can be made in person, through Paypal, or by calling the shop. The shop is only open Tues-Sat, 12pm-6pm. If you want to lock in a spot while the shop is closed Paypal is your best route.

what is a deposit?

As of Feb 1, 2022 a $100 non-refundable deposit is required for all tattoo appointments. This locks in your spot for the appointment day and comes off the final cost of your tattoo. If your piece requires multiple sessions it will come off the final session.

what if i need to reschedule?

Life happens. If you need to reschedule your appointment just give 24 hours notice and your deposit won’t be affected. Up to 3 reschedules are allowed before requiring a new deposit be put down. Likewise, the artist reserves the right to reschedule if necessary, i.e. health issues, inclement weather, etc.

No-show’s forfeit their deposit and a new one will be needed to reschedule.

pricing?

Minimum is $100 and hourly for all projects is $150/hr. Full day rate (6 hours) is $900.

will i get to see my design beforehand?

Typically designs are seen day of the appointment. This does require a lot of trust and I do appreciate that! If you have changed your mind on certain things you would like in your tattoo let me know at least a week beforehand so I can make sure it is ready for you. Minor adjustments can usually be made day of.

Can i bring a friend?

There is limited room in the tattooing area, so we ask you only bring one person with you.

are masks still required?

They are not. If you are feeling unwell please reschedule.

what if it says your books are closed? can i still make an appointment?
