I book in cycles, every 3 months. Every booking cycle, I will be taking on a few new clients in what open spaces I have. Existing clients will always have priority over new projects.
When I take new clients on, I will be accepting submissions at a specific date/time. I will post on my Instagram with plenty of notice when these times will be.
During the open hours of submission, there will be a form provided on this website to fill out.
As much as I wish I could take on every project, the high volume of requests only allows me to take on projects that best fit my style of work.
Please read the information below thoroughly prior to submitting your application.

My rate is $250 per hour, with a $300 minimum.
All appointments require a $200 deposit. All deposits are non-refundable, and will come off the total upon completion. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will go towards the final visit.
If you need to reschedule your appointment, please let me know 48 hours prior to the set appointment time to transfer your deposit. Failure to do so will forfeit your deposit and will require you to leave a new one.
Deposits are non-transferable to projects not previously talked about and agreed upon, nor transferable to any other artists.
The shop accepts cash, credit, or debit.
Tips are always appreciated, cash is preferred.

Dos :
Submit only one form, include a description of the tattoo you want, the approximate size and dimensions, placement (which body part & where), any reference images (knowing that I will not copy an exact image, but to use as a reference point of what you like visually in terms of style, color, coverage, etc.)
Donts :
Do not submit more than one form, do not submit a form for something already listed under my “Design Wonts” category, and do not expect an immediate reply, as it will take me a few weeks to get back to everyone.
-
Wills :
Black & grey, ornamental, geometric, botanical, & large-scale work are prioritized.
Wonts :
Small-scale, lettering, full color, fingers, other people’s artwork, and reworks.
Under no circumstances will I take on projects on minors, those that are under the influence of alcohol/drugs, or on anyone with pre-existing skin conditions such as melanoma, or over birth marks/moles.

Be prepared to sit still for 4-6 hours.
Limit sun exposure before your appointment, I cannot tattoo sunburned skin!
I recommend getting a full night’s sleep, limiting alcohol consumption/drug use the evening prior to your appointment.
Being well-hydrated and exfoliated makes both yours and my job much easier.
There is no need to shave the area prior to your appointment, as having me do it lessens any irritation to your skin.
Bring any water/snacks needed to get you through the session.
Wear appropriate clothing so that I can have easy access to the areas getting worked on. Feel free to bring a sweater if you run cold.
I ask that you only bring one guest to sit with you through your appointment, as space is limited.

I am fortunate to receive more requests for tattoo work than I can accommodate at any given time, so please don’t take it personally.
If your design doesn’t fit within my specialties, I will graciously decline. I turn away work because I am not willing to compromise quality or time spent with my clients just to take on a higher volume of work.
Every tattoo deserves an artist that has the time, interest and ability to dedicate to it. Any and all cuts that I make are in that interest.
In the case that I do not take on your tattoo project, I am happy to recommend another artist who I believe will do your tattoo justice.
