Booking Information
Rates
I price based on the complexity of the piece, size in inches, and placement on the body. I hold a $150 minimum for flash and a $200 minimum for customs (unless doing a limited time flash sale). Most of my tattoos range from 1-3hrs, though I tend to work rather quickly. Larger pieces typically take 3+ hours if full color and shading are required. Cost estimates may be discussed prior to your appointment via EMAIL or Venue Ink. if correct and specific information is given at the time of inquiry/booking. (A note for BIPOC ONLY: See Sliding scale information below)
Deposits
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book your appointment. This deposit goes towards the final cost of your tattoo. I take deposits via credit/debit card through the Venue Ink booking system at the time of selecting your appointment date and time. Deposits are required to ensure I am able to be compensated for my time in drafting and drawing the design if the client cancels or doesn’t show up for their appointment. I have a 72 hour rescheduling policy that you can find more about in my FAQ’s.

Final Payment Options
Deposits will be paid via online booking link through the Venue Ink booking system ONLY (this is my only booking platform). Final payments will be taken in person, CASH OR CARD PAYMENT ONLY (Apple Pay/Google Pay is Available). I will never take final payment in any other format than the above unless I am working a pop-up event, running a mutual aid campaign, or otherwise special situation.
NO VENMO, NO CASHAPP, NO ZELLE
Tipping
Tipping is optional but much appreciated! If you would like to tip, 18-20%+ is the industry standard.
You are also welcome to tip in other ways if you’d like, for example: ceramic goods/tools, amsterdam acrylic inks, paint brushes, arches watercolor paper, and other things related to my hobbies/creative endeavors & treats (dairy free pls). I am also open to skill trading/bartering depending on the circumstances.
Money is a difficult conversation but please feel free to come forward with any questions that you might have around finances as far as the tattoo process goes. I hope to be as transparent as possible and make this experience comfortable for you.
Sliding Scale Information
My sliding scale rate is variable based on needs and catered specifically for BIPOC individuals using the green bottle method. Flash with posted price is set and cannot be changed.
Please let me know in advance if you would like to use the sliding scale system so that I can design a tattoo that reflects your ideal budget & properly compensates me for my time.
Consider paying less if you identify as BIPOC and fall within the following marginalized groups: LGBTQ+, SWers, disabled folks, and unpaid community organizers, alternatively use the green bottle method.
Occasionally I will do a free tattoo for BIPOC people as a form of affirming body art/gender affirming care of sorts because I believe bodily autonomy is sacred and reclaiming that is important. If you wish to claim a free tattoo please fill out the form below.
