Start with a Consultation

The first step to getting tattooed by me is booking a consultation. It’s our chance to connect, chat through your ideas, and make sure we’re on the same page creatively.

Most tattoos require a consult, especially custom work. That said, if you're getting something simple—like minimal linework or lettering (with a font you've chosen)—you’re welcome to email me directly instead of booking a full consult.

Consults are offered both in person and via Zoom for long-distance clients. They typically last about 20 minutes.

What to Expect After Booking

Once you’ve chosen a time slot through my booking portal, you’ll be prompted to fill out a short questionnaire. This helps me get a full picture of your vision. I’ll ask for:

  • Placement & Size

  • Subject & Style

  • Any meaning or story behind the piece

  • Reference photos

The more info you give, the better I can bring your idea to life in a way that feels aligned with you. I love working collaboratively, and this is where that process begins.

Deposits & Payment

All appointments require a deposit to secure your spot. Most deposits range from $100–$250, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Travel/guest spot bookings and larger projects may require a higher deposit.

  • Deposits are applied toward the final cost of your tattoo (or your final session for multi-session pieces).

  • Payments can be made via Zelle, Venmo, or cash, based on your preference. I’ll provide the payment info at the end of your consultation.

  • Deposits are nonrefundable and nontransferable, and they roll over to one reschedule with at least 48 hours’ notice.

  • Late arrivals over 15 minutes or last-minute cancellations may result in a lost deposit.

  • If something unexpected comes up (illness, emergency, etc.), just reach out. I always aim to be understanding and fair when there’s open communication.

  • Payment of the balance is due at the end of our session and can be paid with cash, zelle or venmo. Zelle and Venmo incur NY Sales Tax of 4.5%.

  • You will be charged from the start of the appointment time for our session.

Availability

My books are always open, but I typically book out about 2 months in advance, give or take. Consultations are usually available within a week, so we can get your process started even if your tattoo appointment is a little ways out.

Due to my schedule I am unable to accommodate walk-ins.

Style & Limitations

I specialize in soft, detailed tattoos — think fine line, black and grey, organic flow, and romantic color. While I love interpreting ideas in my own style, there are a few things I don’t take on:

  • I do not tattoo profane, vulgar, or hate-based imagery.

  • I don’t work in bold, graphic, or traditional styles. If your reference images fall into that category, I’ll check in to see if a softer interpretation aligns with your vision. If not, I’m happy to refer you to another artist who’s a better fit.

  • I don’t tattoo faces, fingers, or behind the ears.

Custom vs. Flash

Most of my work is custom, created in collaboration with each client during the consultation process. I occasionally offer pre-drawn (flash) designs, which I post when available — but custom work is where my heart lives. I love hearing your stories, learning what your tattoo means to you, and creating something personal and powerful.
