Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take new clients?
Yes. I take new clients on a rolling basis, with a pace that supports high-quality work and sustainable scheduling. If books ever close, it will be announced clearly on my booking page.

How long does it take to hear back?
Usually within a week. If you haven't heard from me, it never means you're being ignored — it means I’m in a deep-work phase or tattooing. You can send a gentle nudge after seven days.
Do you do custom designs?
Yes — that’s the main thing I do. You bring me the direction; I bring the shape, style, composition, and the material/texture I’m known for.
Can I see my design before the appointment?
I typically draw the day before or day-of, because the design process relies on freshness and immersion. I’m happy to make adjustments at the appointment.
What’s your style?
Textured realism, organic forms, clean linework, conceptual symbolism, and anything drawing on inspiration from nature. I’m very good at mimicking materials, and textures, such as stained glass or paint brush strokes.
If you don’t know how to describe what you want, I can interpret from vibe alone.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. Deposits are non-refundable and hold your appointment. They go toward the final cost of the tattoo.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. Give me 48 hours’ notice and your deposit transfers.
Less than that and a new deposit may be required.
What if you need to reschedule?
I’ll never disappear. If I’m sick, overloaded, or unexpectedly out of commission, you’ll get an honest message and priority rebooking.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is straightforward: size based or flat-rate depending on the design. I keep my rates fair and predictable.
Do you make accommodations for accessibility needs?
Yes. I'm on the second floor of a historic building without wheelchair access, but I would be happy to reserve a booth at an alternative location upon request.
You can request sensory modifications, breaks, communication preferences, or environmental adjustments. You’re not “a bother.” I’d rather set you up for success from the beginning.
Can I bring a friend?
One quiet support person is fine. If you’re prone to sensory overload or anxiety, having someone with you can help regulate. Just let me know ahead.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash preferred. Cards + digital payments available.
Do you offer consults?
Short consults by message, extended consults by video or in-person. Helpful if you’re unsure about placement, size, or direction.
