How much will my tattoo cost?
​
Tattoo pricing depends on several factors like size, detail, and difficulty. I typically charge $120 per hour. If you’d like an estimate, just ask — I’ll provide a price range to the best of my ability.
​
Can you design a custom tattoo for me?
​
Absolutely! I love creating custom designs. Share your rough idea with me, and we can discuss and plan it out either through email or in person.
​
Do you offer touch-up sessions?
​
Yes! Your first touch-up is free within the first year of getting your tattoo. While not everyone needs one, it’s available if required.
​
How should I prepare for my appointment?
​
Make sure to get a good night’s sleep, eat a meal beforehand, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol the night before. moisturize the tattoo for at least 5 days up until the day before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the area being tattooed.
​
Do you have any aftercare instructions?
​
Tegaderm Aftercare:
-
Remove the bandage after 24 hours, or sooner if leaking occurs.
-
replace with a second piece after thoroughly cleaning the area with a mild unscented soap (I recommend Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap).
-
Pat dry with a paper towel before applying the new bandage.
-
Leave the second bandage on for up to 3 days.
-
Once the Tegaderm is off, follow general tattoo aftercare.
​
General Tattoo Aftercare:
-
Remove bandage upon returning home
-
Clean your tattoo with a mild unscented soap twice daily with freshly cleaned hands.
-
Apply a light layer of tattoo balm such as hustle butter deluxe; avoid over-moisturizing.
-
Once the tattoo starts scabbing, switch to an unscented lotion i prefer Curel Ultra Healing.
​
-
Don’t pick or scratch at scabs.
-
Avoid using rubbing alcohol or peroxide.
-
Don’t swim or soak the tattoo for at least 6 weeks.
-
Avoid washing with abrasive materials like washcloths or loofahs.

Can I see my design ahead of time?
​
Yes! Upon request, I can provide a preview of your design 24 hours before your appointment. Please note that I usually complete designs less than a week before the scheduled date due to my workload.
