Frequently Asked Questions

I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.  This is regardless of parental consent.  No exceptions.

I do not complete in progress pieces from other artists.  I will incorporate old work into new work, making it cohesive with the new additions. Small coverups within large new work or new additions around existing work - yes ... but completing half finished, only outlined, or partially shaded work by another artist - no.

I charge by the hour not by the piece.

Payment is to be made in cash at the end of each session.

My rate is $200/hour.

I don’t smoke or take unnecessary breaks (unless you ask for them).  I try to be as efficient and conscientious with your time as possible.  

You do not pay for consultations, drawing time, or any other preparatory time, just the time spent tattooing.

Drawings are not sent out/emailed and/or viewed before the first appointment. Trust is a key element in the tattoo process. Trust in your taste and choice of artist is the first step. If you've gone through the waiting list process and are confident in the work you see me produce, we've gone well past that first step.  We both have the same goal in mind, creating the best possible tattoo for you.

I cannot accommodate walk-ins and/or short-term tattoo inquiries.

I do, but keep in mind, I don't take on projects which are less than three hours of tattooing.  As I focus upon larger scale work, single sitting (3 hour) appointments are the minimum.

I do not tattoo hands, necks, or faces unless the recipient is already heavily tattooed.
