Where are you located?I am based in Austin, TX and operate out of a private studio in North Central Austin. Spring 2024 I am also guesting at No Good Tattoo in East Austin!
-
What is your hourly rate?My hourly rate is $200 an hour. I do offer sliding scale rate options for those clients who would not otherwise be able to afford a tattoo by me. The rate options are $150, $175, or $200. The hourly rate begins at the start of appointment time. Arriving late and placing stencil is included in this hourly rate unless otherwise specified. I have a $250 minimum.
-
How much is your deposit?To book there is a $100 deposit that is required. This deposit will be applied towards the cost of your tattoo on the day of your last appointment. If you are requesting a custom design, there is an additional $100 deposit required that goes towards the time it takes to design the piece. Deposits are non-refundable. There is a 72 hr cancelation policy. If you wish to reschedule any less than 72 hrs from your appointment date, your original deposit will be forfeited and an additional deposit will be required in full.
-
What is your cancelation/reschedule policy?I require a 72-hour notice to cancel or reschedule. All deposits are non-refundable regardless of if you give notice 72 hrs or greater. Your deposit can be moved to another date if there is 72 + hours notice. If less than this, you will need to send a second deposit to book. There is also a design charge for any custom pieces. This is also non-refundable.
-
Do you do customs?Yes! I love custom work. There is an additional design fee required to book a custom. The design fee is in an additional $100. This design fee is NOT applied towards the cost of your tattoo. If a design needs to be reworked minor changes can be made but major changes/a redesign will require a new design fee. Please make sure your custom request is fully thought out and you are able to articulate this in your booking request form. Please provide as many inspo pics as needed to ensure your design is explained in full detail. Custom designs require a lot of trust in me as an artist. Please make sure my work and style fully resonate with what you are looking for before submitting a request. I will deny custom requests that are not aligned with my style.
-
Will I see the design before our appointment?Your design will be emailed to you the day before your appointment. If there are minor changes that need to be made, please follow up in response to the email so those changes can be made ahead of time. Please make sure to be as clear as possible on your form submission to avoid any major last minute changes. However, I want to make sure you are happy with the design as well so if needed we can reschedule. If there are major changes that need to be made this is subject to a redesign charge and the appointment might need to be moved to a future date - this will require an additional deposit be sent and a forfeit of your original deposit.
-
Will you do another artists work?I will never copy a design that another tattoo artist has created. Do not submit a request if you are looking for a duplicate of another artists work. Your request will be denied. I am always happy to use other artist's work as inspiration for your design. Please understand, this is only for inspiration and all designs will be created in my own style. There are some pieces of work that are in the public domain that I would love to do - but this is few and far between! If you have purchased a tattoo voucher from another artist and you are interested in getting that piece of work tattooed by me, please make sure to include proof of voucher purchase when submitting your request.
-
Can I bring someone to my appointment?I ask that clients come alone to their appointment as the space is small and bringing someone can lead to distractions! I want to ensure you aren't moving around lots while getting tattooed so the tattoo process can be as streamlined as possible! ***If you have support needs and need to bring someone for this reason, this is absolutely allowed. There is a question on the booking request form asking about support needs!*** If you have questions about this, please email me.
-
How can I pay for my tattoo?Cash is required for payment for your tattoo. If you need an estimate, please feel free to email me once your design has been approved. If you do not bring enough cash, venmo or cashapp is allowed for supplementary payment. I do not currently take cards.
-
How can I best prepare for my tattoo?Moisturize your skin for 1 week before your appointment date. Do not moisturize the day of your appointment as the lotion can make it more difficult for the stencil to stay. Make sure you are well rested, well fed, and well hydrated. Bring snacks, water, and creature comforts. Some ideas of creature comforts might be headphones, blanket, hoodie(s), book, sleep mask, etc. Wear comfortable and cozy clothing as you will be sitting for long periods of time and want to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. Please arrive on time. If you arrive early, please wait in your car until your appointment time then you can come up to the studio. If you are late, please give notice to me asap. Any later than 15 minutes and your appointment might need to be rescheduled.
-
How do I care for my tattoo?Please visit the Prep & Aftercare page for all aftercare instructions. You will also receive an email with the aftercare instructions sent as an attachment.
-
Do you do touch-ups?I will do one free touch up within 1 year of your tattoo being complete. This is at the artists discretion.
-
How do I contact you?If you are looking to book a tattoo, please submit a booking request via the booking request form. If you have additional questions, please contact me via email.
-
