Your appointment is not confirmed until the deposit is paid. Deposits are payable through an invoice I will send to your email once we settle on a date. Deposits are non-refundable. Your deposit amount will come off the final cost of your tattoo. Your deposit is good for ONE reschedule, requested at least 48 hours before your appointment is scheduled.
Your second reschedule request, or a reschedule request under 48 hours of notice will forfeit your deposit and will require a new deposit to confirm your reschedule.
No call/no show will forfeit your deposit and may result in being unable to book future appointments with me.

Placement

Style
Your budget if you have one!
I offer free consultations! Most requests can be booked without one, but you can always request a consultation before booking, or I may request a consultation if I feel that the project needs it.
-
Group tattoos consist of two or more people getting similar, matching, or coordinating tattoos on the same day. I've tattooed groups of besties, D&D troupes, family members, polycules, and covens!
Everyone in the group must pay their own deposit ($50-$100) to book their spot.
For parties of 3+ people: the design must be the same or very similar. Simple and small designs work best for these types of appointments. Arms and legs are generally preferred for placement.
I must have the design(s) finalized with each person by time of booking.
Each person in the group is only confirmed for a tattoo once their deposit is paid.
-
Please DO NOT send me AI generated images in your booking request.
Send me doodles, examples of other tattoos, tattoos I’ve done that you love, or describe your tattoo dream in your own words!
Any AI generated material sent will not be used in my design process.
-
I accept coverups and reworks of other artist’s work on a case by case basis.
The new design typically needs to be at least 2 times bigger than the original design.
The new design will likely need to be in color or have shading.
I generally recommend a free consultation for coverups and rework requests.
-
I offer one free touchup within the first year after your tattoo is complete, as long as you follow my aftercare instructions.
The tattoo must be fully healed before we can do a touchup!
During a free touchup appointment, we can add color saturation, increase contrast with shading, and go over any linework that needs it.
Your body is very good at healing, sometimes a little too good! Touchups aren’t a fix, they are a part of the tattoo process. Touchups are all about bringing the intended design choices into reality!
-
Anyone under 18 years of age.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.
Anyone intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Anyone on medications or in situations that would make it unsafe to tattoo them.
Anyone who does not give consent to the tattoo at time of booking (as surprise gifts, etc.)
Any closed practice, sacred imagery, or using human remains.
Any symbol, item, phrase, or image that supports or spreads hate.
Genitals.
my tattoo philosophy
You-centered process:
I am here to bring YOUR tattoo dreams to life. When asked, I will offer design and placement suggestions based on my experience, but the final design and where it is placed is up to you entirely. You can request as many design changes as you need to get the design aligned with your vision. We can move the stencil as many times as is needed in order to fit your vision.
Body positivity:
I want you to feel seen in the art I make. I create art for people that represents and celebrates ALL BODIES. I center diversity in my craft and in the people I tattoo. I especially create art for QUEER people, because we as queer people deserve to be represented and celebrated authentically in art and tattooing. I view queerness as a strength and a positive, and I center the safety and celebration of queerness in my craft and in the people I tattoo.
Love:
I want you to experience unlimited self-love in your new skin. I want you to feel loved, heard, and taken care of throughout the tattoo experience. I want you to love the art you get from me.
Inclusion & accessibility
I will tattoo you regardless of your shape, size, ability, religion, race, gender, or sexuality. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your hundredth, you will have the power throughout the tattoo, and we will move at your pace. I will provide you with tools to help you through the tattoo process, such as aftercare information & product recommendations, fidget toys, sunglasses, tattoo furniture that meets your needs, snacks, beverages, and as many breaks as you need. My tattoo table is rated at 450 lbs, and I can accommodate your mobility requirements as well. I have surgical masks available at my station for clients and wear a mask while tattooing.
If you are on a budget, we can talk about design options that fit your budgetary needs, such as splitting up the tattoo into smaller sessions, or changing the design to make it budget friendly by adjusting the design’s size or style.
Just as important are the things I don’t tattoo. I do not tattoo racist images, words, or objects of hate. I do not tattoo culturally significant objects. I do not use tattoo methods that are closed practices.
I do not use AI in any part of my tattooing or creative process, and I do not use AI-generated images as tattoo references.
