pricing

Tipping is not required, however it is highly appreciated. While I do charge the amount I expect to make from a tattoo, tips help to supplement my income and are always welcome. There is no “standard” tipping amount in tattooing, so whatever you feel you want to give (or not give) is completely acceptable. Non-monetary tips are always welcome!

I am happy to discuss estimates and pricing further based on your individual design. I am always happy to work with your budget, and have several payment options including payment plans when necessary.

Tattoos that take multiple sessions (more than 5 hours to complete) are priced hourly with a $200 flat rate for the first hour and $125 every additional hour.

Custom tattoos require an additional $50 drawing fee due at the time of deposit to compensate for my time spent drawing your tattoo. This means the minimum amount you will pay for a custom design is $250. This drawing fee covers 1–2 versions of your design plus small edits and adjustments. I may not be able to fulfill major redesign or redraw requests made less than 48 hours before your appointment. While I don’t want to create barriers between my clients and a design they are 100% happy with, this drawing fee is a necessary compensation for my time spent drawing / preparing your design. If more than 2 versions of the design or a complete redraw are requested, another $50 drawing fee will be required.

A $100 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required to confirm and schedule your appointment. Your appointment is not confirmed until this deposit has been received and a time has been selected. This deposit will go towards the final cost of your tattoo. A deposit is required for every appointment.

The final cost of your tattoo is dependent on several factors: whether you want a flash or custom design, the detail of the design you want tattooed, the sizing and placement of that design, and the time it takes to actually tattoo the design on your body.

I charge a minimum of $200 per appointment. The cost of your tattoo will likely be above that minimum unless you are getting a simple, small design. On average, my tattoos typically end up costing between $300 and $400 (typically, the tattoos that I do are between 3 and 5 inches).

Tattoos are priced by piece, and I will give you a quote before your tattoo appointment based on the estimated time I think it will take to complete the tattoo you have requested. This quote is an estimate and is subject to change depending on how long the tattoo actually takes to complete. If you have a specific budget, I will always keep this in mind and be transparent with you about what we can realistically accomplish within your budget.

Before booking your tattoo and committing to an appointment time, make sure that you are ready to go through with getting your tattoo, that you are physically prepared and able to be there on time, and that you are financially prepared to pay for your tattoo in the amount we have previously discussed.

Tattooing is my livelihood and I rely on these appointments to support myself financially. Please be respectful of my policies and boundaries and do not cancel your appointment if you can help it.
