FAQs
When is the best time to stop by?
My availability varies daily according to bookings. I’m typically in the studio Tuesday through Friday. If you stop by and I am with a client I will prefer not to break away from their time and may not be able to meet with you. The best way to guarantee my availability for you is to schedule an in person consultation here.
How much is my tattoo going to cost?
Hourly Rate is $200 per hour. Booking minimum is 2 hours ($400). Total cost will vary dependent on tattoo time. Half days range around $600 and full days up to $1200.
How long have you been doing this?
I worked my first job as a receptionist in a tattoo studio in 1999. I weaved in and out of studios learning the industry and finally began tattooing professionally in 2007.
Will I see my design before my appointment?
The short answer is no. I schedule appointment blocks with the first hour in account for design share, approval and changes if need be. I prefer this all be done together face to face.
What is your favorite style to tattoo?
Short answer long: As a multi-faceted artist, it’s challenging to pin point my favorite. I am constantly learning and adopting new techniques that keep me finding new styles to enjoy. Some fun styles I thrive in are influenced by graphic animation art, Art Nuevo and Deco, Neo-Traditional, and illustrative. I enjoy bold blended color but also love creating dynamic black pieces.
Are you looking for an apprentice?
Currently, I am not. Please, follow my journey there may be opportunity in the future.
