Hourly Rate $175 USD per. Hour
The cost of a tattoo varies depending on factors such as size, complexity, placement. For this reason, most tattoos are charged per hour that it takes to complete them. Estimates can be given during a Consultation when discussing your design.

Booking Deposit $175 USD (Counted towards total tattoo cost)
To book an appointment there is a non-refundable deposit which covers drawing time and holds the date of the appointment.
Deposits are counted as a down payment on the total cost of the tattoo, returned to you when the tattoo is completed. Deposits are valid unless an appointment is cancelled without 48 hrs notice.

Avoid sunlight and soaking the tattoo in water during the healing process. This includes baths (Showers are fine), swimming pools, beaches, as well as tanning etc. Do not itch or scratch your tattoo.
Recovery Derm, Tegiderm, or Second Skin is a clear bandage provided in most cases. The bandage remains on for 3-5 days before being removed. Once removed the tattoo only requires cleaning daily with antibacterial soap and warm water, then air drying or patting with a clean paper towel. Once dried moisturize with lotion or recommended tattoo balms for the rest of the healing process (usually 2-4 weeks).
Always use antibacterial, unscented, dye-free soap (Dial White Anti-Bacterial for example).
If healing with plastic wrap, replace the wrapping with fresh plastic after every wash, using a thin layer of Aquaphor after drying, but before rewrapping.
In the weeks following of healing after the Saniderm or Plastic Wrap, moisturize your tattooed skin with either Lubriderm unscented, Aveeno unscented, Palmers Cocoa Butter, or Aquaphor.
Itchy, flaking skin is a normal part of the healing process. If you are concerned with any part of the process, reach out to your artist immediately.

Eat and rest properly before getting tattooed.
Please ask before using tattoo products like numbing creams.
Let me know if you are taking any blood thinners or medication that may effect your skin or bleeding.
Alcohol effects the tattoo process, so please do not drink heavily the night before or the day of your appointment.
Notify me of any allergies you have, especially to cocoa, coconut, shellfish, lidocaine, bactine, or adhesives like the ones used in Saniderm, Tegiderm, RecoveryDerm, and Second Skin etc.
Moisturizing the area you're getting tattooed with lotion in the days before the tattoo helps keep your skin in good condition, but it’s a good idea to avoid lotions the day of or right before a session.
If you are feeling ill, keep in mind your immune system effects your recovery, so your tattoo may not heal well if you are already fighting other symptoms. In the case that you don’t feel well, protect yourself and others by notifying your artist to reschedule your appointment.
Sunglasses, headphones, and bringing a pillow can make the process more comfortable.
