Rate
My standard rate is $250/hr with a minimum charge of $300. The final cost of your tattoo will depend on factors such as size, placement, and level of detail. Please note that certain areas, including the neck, chest, sternum, and ribs, may be subject to a slightly higher rate.
During our email consultation, I'll provide you with an estimate for your tattoo. For smaller flash pieces, I often offer a flat rate, and for larger works, a day rate may be more suitable.
If you have a specific budget in mind, don't hesitate to share it with me and we'll work together to find a pricing structure that works for you.
Deposit
A non-refundable $100 deposit is required to secure an appointment, which will be added to the total.
Flash
All of my flashes are on my Instagram.
While I generally tattoo each flash piece once, sometimes I get multiple requests for the same piece. In this case, I usually tweak the design a little bit. Please note that I may not always be able to accommodate modification requests for flash designs.
Custom Work
For custom pieces, I share designs via email before the appointment. I offer two rounds of revisions, the first of which may include significant changes such as the composition. The second round is for fine-tuning details. For larger-scale pieces, I'm happy to accommodate additional revisions.
It’s not an industry standard to share the design beforehand, but I do it so that we can save both of our time by knowing exactly what to expect when you arrive.
Please note that at this time I have a very limited bandwidth for custom pieces, and I’m prioritizing flash works.
Cover up & Touch up
I do not provide cover-up or touch-up work for tattoos done by other artists. However, I do offer free touch-ups for my own work. Depending on the depth and size of the scarring, I may be able to do a cover-up for scars.
Payment
Cash is preferred, but I also accept Venmo and Paypal.
Prayers
Tattooing often induces a meditative state in which it's a good place to hold a prayer. If you want to instill a specific prayer, please let me know. You don't need to share the whole story; short and concise prayers are often more powerful.
Invocation can happen through the design process too. While some prayers take literal forms, others can live in more discreet containers. I hold beauty as an ultimate reverence and achieving balance in lines and shapes comes first before the literal translation of the concept.
