FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much do I charge?

I charge $1,000 for a half day (4 hours) and $2,000 for a full day (8+ hours)

Booking fee?

I require a $500 booking fee that will come off the tattoo total price for that day. If another day is booked the booking fee can be transferred to the next appointment. Booking fee’s are 100% non-refundable. but can be transferred to another date as long as you give me at least a week (7 days) notice. If you decide to not show up for your appointment or cancel the night before up to a week in advance, the booking fee will be forfeited, unfortunately.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

I wrap just about every tattoo with a protective wrap (recovery derm) unless you are allergic to any kind of adhesive. This cuts down the healing time significantly, but only if the wrap stays on for the time recommended by me. which is typically 5-7 days. So I would ask that after your tattoo you do not swim, submerge, sweat (as little as possible) or soak in the sun at least until the wrap comes off or for better practice, at least a week to two weeks. Total healing time varies but usually see pieces come back healed between 2 week and 4 weeks.

Do you do cover-ups?

I definitely prefer an empty canvas! I will however take on some projects that I believe I can make look like it was never a cover-up. For example, if you have a small piece that would need to be covered to make a cohesive sleeve and I know I can hide it easily, then I would be willing to take it on. If it’s a giant black blob, unfortunately that isn’t sometime I have a lot of confidence in working into a design. I probably won’t take it on.

Can you design a tattoo for me prior to making an appointment or an appointment I made?

I design every tattoo for each client so that they have a one of a kind design/tattoo. I am typically booked a month to four months out, so I do not design much ahead of time, due to the time it takes to design each piece. I will however have a design ready for you (unless otherwise made aware) to view on the day of your appointment. If slight changes need to be made then we can do them on the day of your tattoo appointment.
