Selection Process and Policies
Thanks for your interest in my work! I am looking to focus on black and grey realism with a few color realism projects (mainly roses). If your piece is not selected, it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad idea. I just have to be pretty picky with the projects I take on, because space is so limited. I look forward to hearing your ideas!
A $200 deposit is taken at the time of the appointment being scheduled. $100 goes towards the design time and the other $100 will be taken off of the final cost of the tattoo
I charge flat full day rates of $2500 (4-6 hours of tattooing) and flat half day rates of $1500 (3.5 hours or less). Anything more than 6 hours of tattooing in one day will be an extended day at a flat rate of $2700.
At least 48 hours notice is required in order to reschedule or you forfeit your deposit
You may only reschedule 2 times before having to place a new deposit.
You must reschedule by calling the studio. No dm’s or emails
*** No numbing creams please
***Changes to the design concept you initially send over can result in cancellation of appointment and loss of deposit, so it’s important you are confident in your ideas.
*** Due to the nature of my schedule and being a traveling tattoo artist, there may be occasions when I have to reschedule sessions due to conventions or guest spots. In such situations I may need to swap sessions around, but rest assured I will always do my best to get you in sooner than later.
*** If you opt to do a back to back (2 day in a row) tattoo session and tap out, you will need to pay for a half day session and schedule an additional appointment to finish the piece.
Subject matter I will be prioritizing:
- Portraits
- Custom designs and flash
- Color realism florals (roses preferably)
- B&G Florals (I love roses, but also creative freedom to choose the florals vs being told specific flowers to incorporate)
- Pop culture (movie scenes, actors/actresses, singers, rappers etc.)
- Some animals (no lions, elephants, dragons, phoenixes)
- Some fine linework
Subject matter and placements I will not be taking on:
- No coverups
- No reworks
- No filler
- No sternums
- No stomach
- No ribs
- No feet
- No head or face
- No tribal
- No American traditional
- No dragons
- No phoenixes
- No cherubs/clouds
Designing
I design the day before the appointment and will show the client day of the session when they get to the shop. In the meantime, the client is more than welcome to send photos minor updates to their design up until the day before. I will allow tweaks to the design when we meet in person, but if they don’t like the design , we may need to reschedule to a later date as to not rush into something
