Booking info & Common Questions
What days do you book?
I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I book appointments anytime from 11am-6pm. If a time is needed before 11 or after 6p.m, please include that in your inquiry form so I can see how I may accommodate you!
How does your pricing work?
Creating a unique, beautiful and clean tattoo for you is my first priority. My minimum is 100$ - this is most common for small, simple tattoos. This price is offered for tattoos that will take less than an hour.
I tattoo quickly, most tattoos hand sized (5-6” in diameter) will be a Half Day session, or under 3 hours.
I charge 170$/hour for custom work. Flash & available designs from my book are priced at a flat rate.
For appointments exceeding 3 hours, my hourly rate is discounted when multiple hour sessions are booked. I offer the following flat rates:
Half Day (3 hours) - 470.00$ (40$ discount applied)
3/4 Day (4.5 hours) - 690.00$ (75$ discount applied)
Full day (6 hours) - 900.00$ (120$ discount applied)
I will give you a price/time quote via email to help guide you to which appointment slot you should choose when scheduling. I quote based on size, level of detail and placement - so please be as specific as possible in your inquiry!
Hourly quotes may take less or more time than quoted. If you are working within a budget please let me know!
Large pieces that require multiple sessions can be priced at a flat day rate. It will be the same for each session until completion. Session price depends on size/placement/intricacy and estimated number of appointments needed to finish.
What is your deposit policy?
A nonrefundable deposit of 100$ is collected when an appointment is scheduled. The payment is applied to your total at your appointment.
For large projects that require multiple sessions, the deposit is removed from the total at the final session.
Deposits are due when an appointment is scheduled unless otherwise agreed upon. If a deposit is not received the date will remain available.
There are instances where either of us may need to reschedule. Life happens! If for any reason we must reschedule, the deposit is applied forward to ONE new appointment date. Deposits are forfeited for cancellations and no call/no shows.
When do I see my design?
I do not send final designs for viewing before the appointment. However, I am happy to send a preliminary rough sketch of the concept before I start on the final draft.
I always encourage clients to have an open line of communication with me leading up to the appointment so that we are on the same page about the piece.
You are free to make any changes to the design when you come in. (Large changes or complete redraws may require a new date)
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Please eat a decent meal at least an hour before arriving, and bring snacks and a water or drink to stay hydrated.
Wear comfortable clothes! I may have a clothing recommendation depending on what area of the body you are getting tattooed.
Feel free to bring headphones or a book to pass the time.
It’s also recommended to purchase all aftercare supplies before your tattoo so you are prepared as soon as you leave!
Do you do consultations?
Yes! I love meeting in person to discuss design concepts. Consultations are free, and usually only last about twenty minutes. Please use my calendar to schedule your consultation.
Consultations are necessary for all large pieces, multi session projects and cover ups.
What payment methods do you accept?
Deposits are paid electronically via Square, payment info will be requested when you select a date and time.
The remaining balance for the tattoo must be paid in cash. I do not accept Venmo or Cash App unless otherwise agreed upon. Please come to your appointment prepared!
What aftercare supplies should I purchase?
I generally advise people use:
- antibacterial soap, such as Dial Gold
-unscented lotion or ointment such as Lubriderm, Dr. Palmers, herbal balm
*I do not use second skin/saniderm on clients
Do NOT purchase Neosporin as an aftercare treatment
How is sales tax calculated?
The state of Ohio requires a 7.5% percent sales tax on all tattoos/personal care services. Examples below:
100$ - 107.5$
200$ - 215$
300$ - 322.5$
