You must be at least 18 years of age or older to be tattooed. I do not tattoo minors. You will be asked to provide Legal identification upon arrival. All clients are required to fill out a consent to tattoo form upon arrival to their appointment.

Please arrive to your appointment hydrated, having eaten in the last 2 hours, and completely sober. Clients are encouraged, but not required, to bring snacks and drinks to help maintain your blood sugar, as well any comfort items (laptop, headphones, books, extra blanket, fidgets, sunglasses, etc).

For Custom tattoo appointments, designs are not given ahead of time. There is time built into your appointment for any changes and adjustments that need to be made. This is why it is important to be as detailed as you can with what you’d like in your booking request and that you send reference images.

Whether you book through email or in person, a $100 deposit is required to book an appointment. Larger multi-session pieces may require a deposit of $250. Your deposit holds your appointment time and comes off the total cost of the tattoo.

This deposit can be accepted via Venmo, Paypal, or with cash in-person. once you recieve the appointment confirmation email from me with shop information and specific deposit instructions, you will have 48 hours to send the deposit.

This DEPOSIT is non-refundable and goOd for one reschedule as long as it is made prior to the 48 hours before to the appointment. last minute rescheduling may result in a forfeited deposit (exceptions can be made at my descretion for illness and EMERGENCIES).

Failure to arrive to your appointment within 20 minutes of your appointment start time without communication will result in a permanent ban from booking with me and your design will be made available to other clients.

If you are running late, please just send a courtesy email letting me know, I totally understand it just happens sometimes and i can move things around to accomodate with the proper communication.

I do custom tattoos at $200/hr based on placement and difficulty with a custom minimum of $150. I recommend if you want small tattoos to book multiple at once.

Flash and predrawn projects are priced at $150/hr & most often total a cost of $125-$400 depending on size and placement.

I STRONGLY encourage clients to pay with cash. Estimates can be provided upon request with intention to book.

Venmo and Paypal are also accepted with a small fee, but cash is encouraged.

In 2024, the FDA issued multiple letters to the major manufacturers of tattoo-marketed lidocaine numbing creams after studies showed they contained dangerously high and mislabeled amounts of lidocaine, often unevenly distributed throughout the product. They are often not tested by their manufacturers for safety and they contain ingredients that can be dangerous in large amounts, especially when introduced into your bloodstream.

most Tattoo numbing cream also only has an average efficacy range of 1-3 hours and can result in intense pain afterward. Numbing creams can result in intense allergic reactions and dermatitis. Numbing cream can heavily inhibit blood flow to the surface of the skin, therefore affecting the saturation of the ink.

All that being said, while i strongly recommend against it, You may use numbing cream as long as you discuss it with me beforehand.

Clients who use numbing cream without discussing it with me first will be turned away. clients who use numbing cream also forfeit the ability to get their tattoo touched up for free and will be charged my full custom tattoo rate for touch ups.

I do not use AI during any part of my tattooing process. I do not use AI generated references, AI generated designs, AI photo editing, or AI email writing during any part of my work. 

I will immediately reject any booking request that uses AI in any way, shape, or form. There is a very clear difference to me between accidentally mistaking a reference image that is AI generated and asking an AI program to generate images/tattoo concepts. I will not copy any AI generated tattoo or any tattoo at all for that matter. I will not engage with clients who insist that I use AI in any way, shape, or form within my tattoo practice. 

AI data centers are decimating what little remaining clean water is in this world and generates misinformative slop that is ruining the social fabric of the internet. Data input from users to language learning models contribute to the development of AI weaponry and software that is being used to wage war on civilians both domestic and abroad. I believe that clean water and social prosperity is more important than people choosing to be lazy and not think for themselves ever.
