FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Currently my books open for custom projects once a year, but flash pieces and sudden openings get posted throughout the year on a first come first serve basis, and are posted to my instagram story.

  • I require a minimum of 7 days prior notice if you're unable to make your current scheduled appointment time and want to reschedule. Anything sooner than 7 days prior notice and your deposit is considered forfeit and you will need to place a new one to make a new appointment.

  • I’m currently only working with black ink and focusing on geometric, ornamental and dotwork pieces with a focus on high contrast.

  • Deposits can be made via venmo as I have many clients out of state and stopping by with cash isn't always an option. However, I am CASH ONLY for all procedure costs. There is NO ATM on site so please make sure to grab cash out ahead of time!

  • The type of work that I do is heavily reliant on open skin. Working over existing pieces unfortunately compromises my ability to achieve high contrast and I don’t often take coverup projects on for that reason.

  • Unfortunately not at this time, as I’m looking to focus on projects that are wholly my own design.

  • Usually a few reference images and any specifics that they have in mind is enough for me, but sometimes it’s just as helpful to point out the things you don't like in a specific reference as it is to point out the things you do like.

  • Tips/gifts are always appreciated but not expected. I’m allergic to seafood, black olives and soy milk as far as food allergies go and am a baby about anything spicy!

  • I’m happy to create tattoos at any size!

  • Upon arrival we’ll go over the design together and make any changes if desired at that time while you fill out a consent form. We’ll then create and place the stencil and begin the tattoo. Every one to two hours we’ll take a stretch break and grab some water or a snack if desired until we reach an acceptable stopping point, at which we’ll take a few photos, wrap you up and go over aftercare. 

    Most of my sessions are between 3-6 hours for larger scale projects.

  • There’s a large range of different types of scarring and how they heal. Above all, I usually don’t recommend trying to tattoo over any scarring until it’s at least 3-5 years healed. During the first few years of healing the scar is likely to change quite significantly as it settles into the skin. If you’re considering getting a tattoo over an area of scarring I highly recommend reaching out with a few clear, well lit photos of the area so we can discuss the possibilities with what you’d like to have done.

  • Sadly, yes. I have a connective tissue disorder and damaged lymphatic system (lipedema & lymphedema). These things put added strain on my body and prevent me from being able to tattoo more than 4-6 hours at a time depending on how my body is handling it day to day. Unfortunately chronic illness can be unpredictable and I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding on the matter.
