FAQ

HOW MUCH FOR A TATTOO?

In order to get your an estimate I would need to know the size, subject and if you want it in colour! I generally work at a rate of $260/hr for pieces that require multiple sessions, and offer piece pricing for pieces that take 4 or less hours. Please feel free to shoot me a booking request so I can give you an accurate quote!

CAN I COMMISSION A DESIGN TO BE TATTOOED SOMEWHERE ELSE?

Unfortunately I only design for tattoos that I myself am tattooing! Apologies about the inconvenience!

DO YOU OFFER TOUCHUPS FOR FREE?

Yes absolutely! Tattoos are guaranteed within 90 days of our last appointment, and I have made exceptions for folks that have certain skin conditions that affect healing (ie. eczema, psoriasis), international clients, or if it is for a scar coverup. 

CAN I SEE A SKETCH BEFORE BOOKING?

I only begin designing a piece after we have both agreed to what we are doing via consultation, and once a deposit is placed. I generally send a sketch 2-3 days before an appointment, at which point you are request changes, within reason. 

WHY WAS MY BOOKING INQUIRY DECLINED?

As time has gone on, I’ve received this question more and more. Unfortunately I am only one person, and have limited spots, especially when balancing personal time, drawing time for custom tattoos, as well as trying to take on projects that align with what I am currently interested in exploring artistically. Sometimes it might be because I am not the best artist for the idea that you have in mind; as much as I wish I was able to, I’m not the best at drawing every possible style!

If I am unable to take your piece, it’s super important to me that you are not discouraged from getting the tattoo that you want! It may be just that I am not the right artist for the project. I will try my best to give a recommendation of an alternative artist when possible!

CAN YOU DO A COVERUP OF AN EXISTING TATTOO?

Yes, however it depends on your existing tattoo! For a coverup, we will need to have a consultation, where we can take a look at the age, darkness and coverage of your existing tattoo, and go from there to figure out what your options are. Generally for coverups, going much bigger is always better, and sometimes laser can open up your options. Please feel free to shoot me a booking request! All I ask is that for coverup inquiries, a photo of the original tattoo is included, so I can best evaluate our options.

WHAT SHOULD I AVOID BEFORE/AFTER A TATTOO?

Before: don’t drink within 24hrs of your appointment, be sure to get lots of rest, and start moisturizing your skin up to a week before hand! Please refrain from ingesting excessive caffeine, THC or any painkillers with blood-thinning side effects (ie. ibuprofen, aspirin) before our appointment.
