FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How much do you charge?
I charge $150 per hour. My minimum is 3 hours ($450). Typical sessions are 3-5 hours.
What do you specialize in?
I do Illustrative, Neo-Traditional, Japanese, Realism, Geometric/Dotwork, Anime/Manga, and Biomech. Full color, Black & Gray, Opaque Gray.
How far out are you booked?
By ‘closing’ booking, and limiting the window for requests, my repeat clients typically can get in within 3-6 weeks. Some even have appointments every 2 weeks!
This business model allows me to complete large detailed designs within a reasonable timeframe. So the upside to waiting for books to open is I’m more available for you when you do get booked!
Once I start to wrap up some of the larger projects, and my schedule starts to open up more is when I reopen booking. Hope that helps everyone understand the reason for “books closed.”
How do deposits work?
Deposits are $150-$300, depending on the size/content, and required to book an appointment. They are non-refundable. The deposit secures your appointment date & time.
If you must reschedule, I require 48 hours notice otherwise your deposit is forfeit and I would require another deposit to book another appointment. The deposit does go toward the price of the tattoo. If you need multiple sessions, it would apply to the final appointment.
Are you licensed and formally trained?
Yes, I am licensed to tattoo in Tennessee currently. I have also been licensed and worked in the past in Iowa and Nebraska. I have been trained in First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogen cross contamination prevention. I had a formal apprenticeship in Sioux City, IA. I use single-use disposable pre-sterilized needle cartridges and nitrile gloves, no latex. My station is sterilized before & after each tattoo, and work surfaces are either surgical stainless steel or covered with a disposable film or medical sheets.
Is there anything you won’t tattoo?
Yes, I don’t do small lettering (only large decorative custom lettering), no occult imagery (no satanic/demonic glorification or tarot cards for example), or tribal tattoos. I reserve the right to refuse any tattoo requests. In those cases I may suggest another artist for you… no harm, no foul! I do screen booking requests for tattoos that fit my style and interests. In some cases I may request clarification before deciding. Any extreme deviation from previously discussed style/subject without prior agreement may result in forfeiture of your deposit.
