Deposits
A $100 deposit is required to book an appointment.
Appointments that are $150 or less require a $50 deposit.
This money goes toward your tattoo session and is non-refundable, so please make sure you are serious and committed to the appointment when putting a deposit down. Without a deposit, your appointment will not be confirmed, which means
Your flash piece or time slot may be claimed by someone else.
Pricing
I charge by the piece, and do not have a set hourly rate.
Minimum price for any tattoo is $75
This is the minimum amount to cover a full set up of supplies (which is required for every tattoo, no matter how small), and my time in the studio.
Full day rate is $900
This includes 6-8 hours of tattooing, with a mandatory 30-minute lunch break.
X-Large pieces, freehand designs, or anything that will be over 6 hours usually constitutes a full day session.
Anything under 6 hours is priced based on the following:
✧ How long the tattoo will take
Loose base of $150/hour
✧ How much designing time will be required
More complex subject matter, detailed custom designs, freehanded pieces & larger pieces will be more expensive than things such as simple linework, font, etc.
✧ If the tattoo is in black and grey or color
Color will always be more expensive as it takes more time and uses more supplies.
✧ The level of difficulty of the area of the body that will be tattooed
Face, neck, ribs, joints, etc. will be more expensive than a forearm or thigh tattoo because they require more time and technique to execute properly.
Prices are firm.
I take time to be sure each tattoo is thought out and fairly priced to my standards. I also use a range of usually $150-200 to accommodate any adjustments or changes we might run into on the day of your appointment.
Please do not try to bargain or argue the price I give.
Reschedules & Cancellations
If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please try to give me as much notice as possible so I can try to fill your spot! At least one week's notice is preferred.
Any reschedules or cancellations within 48 hours of the appointment will forfeit your deposit and require a new one to be rescheduled.
Please understand that tattooing is my only source of income, and if I am not able to fill your spot (which is very difficult in only 2 days) I lose my pay for that day. This can substantially affect my ability to support myself if multiple people reschedule in the same week, which happens more often than you would think. It is not personal, it’s just business, and I cannot make exceptions to this.
Late / No Show Policy
If you will be late for your appointment, please let me know ahead of time!
If you are communicative and respectful of my time, there is no penalty for being slightly late.
If you are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment, rescheduling may be necessary to assure we have enough time for your tattoo. If this happens, your deposit will be forfeited, and a new one will be required to reschedule.
If you do not show up for your appointment without any communication with me beforehand, it is considered a no show.
1st no show = forfeit deposit & require a new one to reschedule
2nd no show = forfeit deposit again, and you must pay the full amount of the tattoo ahead of time in order to reschedule
If there is a 3rd no show, your money will not be refunded, and I will respectfully decline rescheduling the appointment
Guests
You are always allowed to bring 1-2 guests with you as long as they are 18 or older, or 14 or older if accompanied by their guardian.
Children or other guests are welcome to stop by, but I ask that you not have them in for the full duration of the appointment. For any further questions about guests just ask.
Absolutely no pets allowed in the studio.
Service animals are the only exception and are welcome to come in with you if needed, but they cannot be in the tattoo station for sanitary reasons.
