 FAQs

  • It is important to get a good night's sleep, eat well, and stay hydrated prior to your appointment. Eat a full meal before you appointment. You may also bring anything that you think will make you most comfortable such as: snacks, a blanket, headphones, books, tablets, etc. You must bring a valid form of ID the day of your appointment.

  • I do not provide the design prior to your appointment. I will show you the design the day of your appointment and make any requested changes day-of. I am also happy to stencil the tattoo as many times as needed for you to feel comfortable with the final placement. Tattoos are for life, and I want to ensure you feel comfortable expressing any changes!


    For larger projects or sleeves, I will schedule a second consultation with a sketch of the design to ensure we are both on the same page.

  • I require a $50 deposit for flash piece appointments and a $100 deposit for custom pieces. Deposits are non refundable and will go to the final cost of the tattoo. I require a 72 hour notice to reschedule. If you reschedule your appointment 72 hours prior, that first deposit will still apply towards that overall price of your tattoo; if you reschedule a second time, your $100 deposit will be forfeited and you will be asked to make a new deposit. If you are more than 15 minutes late, or do not show up for your appointment without prior communication with me, your deposit will be forfeited.

  • My session rate is $175 an hour, and I set appointment lengths for 4-5 hours. I will provide a quote based on the size and complexity of the design (please note the quote is not an exact price, but an estimate of the final cost).

    Prices do not include tax. Applicable tax will be added at checkout.

  • I do not tattoo minors. Clients must be at least 18 years old.

  • You can bring one person at least 16 years old with you. Children are not allowed in the studio.

  • Yes you can use numbing cream. Make sure to apply the cream in a thick layer at least an hour prior to your appointment. Wrap the area with plastic wrap to seal the cream in, and secure with medical tape. I will remove the plastic wrap for you when prepping your skin for the session.

  • There is a parking lot across the street and behind Stauf’s that is free from 6am-5pm.
