I currently charge $100 per hour, with a $75 minimum for small, simple tattoos. This rate covers the time spent tattooing, and includes design and prep, setup, professional materials, and aftercare wrapping.

A $35 deposit is required to book your appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and will go towards the final cost of your tattoo ✨

Deposits are valid for 30 days from the original appointment date. You may reschedule up to two times within that period before a new deposit is required.

I accept payments via Venmo, Cash App, cash (studio drop-off), or card. Invoices are available, and a card reader is on hand at the studio.

Tattoo pricing is based on time, complexity, and placement. Final pricing may vary slightly depending on the tattoo process.

Will touch up my own work for free for the first year

If you have a specific budget or are unsure which option fits your idea best, I’m happy to talk through it during your consultation. My goal is to make the process transparent, comfortable, and tailored to you! 🖤

I schedule the majority of my sessions and consultations while my two boys are at daycare - between 10am - 4:30pm on weekdays 🐦‍⬛

I will do occasional evening consultations and sessions, and tattoo during weekend events. Let me know if you'd be interested in an evening/weekend appointment!

Please allow up to 48 hours for responses to booking requests or messages. Excessive messaging or harassment will result in no further contact.

No call / no show appointments will result in being blocked from future bookings.

Fees:

Arriving 15 minutes late to your session will result in a $25 late fee. After 25 minutes, your appointment will be cancelled and must be rescheduled.

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Less than 24 hours’ notice = $25 rescheduling fee, must be paid before rebooking.

Please notify me in advance if you plan to bring guests to your appointment.

If you are sick or experiencing symptoms, please stay home and contact me to reschedule.

You must be 18 years or older and present a valid photo ID on the day of your appointment.

Failure to follow these policies or studio protocols may result in refusal of service at any time.

The Night Before

⁑ Sleep well ⁑ A full night of rest helps your body handle the tattoo process

⁑ Stay hydrated ⁑ Drink water throughout the day and evening

⁑ Moisturize if needed ⁑ If your skin is very dry, apply an unscented lotion before bed

⁑ Avoid alcohol or drugs ⁑ for at least 24 hours prior

⁑ Skip blood-thinners ⁑ Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or similar (unless prescribed by a doctor).

⁑ Eat a balanced dinner ⁑ Eating a full meal the night before helps prevent dizziness or fainting.

⁑ Avoid sunburns or tanning ⁑ Damaged skin cannot be tattooed

⁑ Skip heavy workouts ⁑ Don’t overwork or irritate the skin near your tattoo area

⁑ Plan your clothing ⁑ Choose loose, dark, and comfortable clothes that will allow easy access to the tattoo spot

If Using Saniderm

• Keep the tattoo covered for up to 5 days.
• If your tattoo includes a lot of color or shading you may get a good amount of leakage in the first 24 hours. Replace the initial bandage and apply a new piece if this happens.
• If it starts peeling, leaking, or feels uncomfortable, you may replace it with a fresh piece — just make sure to wash and dry the tattoo thoroughly first.
• Do not apply ointment or lotion under Saniderm — it’s designed to heal the tattoo without additional products.

Changing the Bandage

• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.
• Gently remove the bandage under warm running water to loosen the adhesive. Peel slowly.
• Wash the tattoo gently with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
• Apply a new Saniderm bandage directly onto clean, dry skin.

After Saniderm Removal

• Once you remove the final bandage (around day 3–5), wash the tattoo gently with mild soap and water.
• From this point on, apply a thin layer of unscented, water-based lotion or tattoo balm 1–2 times a day.
• Do not over-moisturize — keep the skin lightly hydrated.
  
  

Aftercare without Saniderm:

• Leave the initial tattoo wrapping on for up to 5hrs
• Wash your tattoo with fragrance-free antibacterial soap and apply unscented water based lotion regularly throughout the healing process

What to Avoid

• Do not scratch, pick, or peel the tattoo.
• Avoid soaking (swimming, hot tubs, baths) for at least 2 weeks. Showers are fine.
• Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds. After healed, always use sunscreen.
• Avoid heavy sweating or excessive friction on the tattoo while it heals.

Healing Process

• The tattoo may peel or flake after removing Saniderm — this is normal.
• Some redness or mild itching is expected. Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks.
  
  

When to Seek Medical Attention

Contact a doctor if you notice:

• Severe redness, swelling, or pain that worsens after 3 days
• Pus, foul odor, or excessive bleeding
• Signs of allergic reaction (rash, hives, difficulty breathing)
