Policies & Info

FLASH TATTOO PROCESS

You can pick any of my available pre-drawn designs for your next tattoo! Most are flexible on size, color, and can even be modified slightly. Flash designs may be repeated. My designs are my original art and I don’t allow them to be copied or tattooed by other artists.

CUSTOM TATTOO PROCESS

To book a custom tattoo, describe the design you’re interested in, images for reference and inspiration, a rough idea of size and placement, and any other details you’d like me to know. I draw your design by hand based on your booking request and our follow-up emails back and forth. If you’re working with a budget, that’s helpful to know, too. Having a bit of an open mind for your design, placement, and budget is strongly recommended for the best result.

It’s my policy to not send designs in advance. When it comes time for your appointment, we’ll have time make sure you’re happy with your design before tattooing! Small design changes are totally fine. If you’re not vibing with the design as a whole, you have the opportunity to reschedule so I can do a redraw. A redraw with a new appointment time does require a new deposit ~ but it’s worth it to make sure you love your tattoo.

I am interested in exploring more inspired by folk art, art nouveau, illustration, and American traditional tattooing. I’m more likely to take on nature-related subjects, antique objects, ornamental, fantasy, and handwriting tattoos, but I’m open to almost anything if it’s in my skillset!

COST

My base rate is a flat rate per piece or $135/hour for larger pieces. Other than the deposit, the studio is CASH preferred, or card with a $10 processing fee. I can give you a quote for any design based on the size and placement. The final price could increase based on going with a larger size, adding more detail, moving to a different placement, etc.

Deposits are non-refundable and they will contribute to the total cost.

Custom designs require a $50-100 deposit at the time of booking. Minimum price is $135. You can get multiple small-medium tattoos in one session for a discount! Special pricing: handwriting or simple font up to 4” wide and 1.5” tall will be flat rate $100.

Flash designs are my pre-drawn designs and require $50 deposit at the time of booking. Minimum price is $80. You can get multiple flash in one session for a discount!

♡♡♡ Monetary tips are always appreciated, not required! Non-monetary tips are cherished, and these are some favorites:

  • I love fun beverages! My favorites are iced matcha latte, iced vanilla latte with whole milk, sugar free red bull/any flavor rebel, half iced tea+half lemonade

  • Sour candy, baked goods, chocolate

  • Ceramics, prints, artwork, crafts, fresh flowers

  • Thrifted trinkets, art books, weird framed art

GROUP TATTOOS

I can take groups for matching tattoos, a variety of small tattoos, or flash! Group tattoos could either require one deposit per group or one deposit per person depending on design complexity. There is a small waiting area in the hallway, and I’m downtown so folks are free to walk around while waiting for their turn. Please plan for extra time!

REWORKS AND COVERUPS

I rework or cover up old tattoos not by me on a case-by-case basis. Please make sure to send a few photos - make sure the photos are clear and well-lit. It’s important to be flexible on the design for coverups and understand you may still be able to see some of the old tattoo in some cases.

TOUCH UPS

I offer free touch-ups up to a year after your tattoo. Please send me a clear, well-lit photo of your tattoo to schedule a touch-up. Let me know if you’re not sure if your tattoo needs a touch up!

RESCHEDULING & LATENESS

If you need to reschedule, give 48 hours notice minimum. Your deposit will be good for up to 6 months. Last minute reschedule or cancellation (other than illness/emergency/weather) will lose the deposit. Please reschedule if you’re feeling sick, even if it’s the same day.

Please allow 5-10 minutes to park. I have a 15-minute grace period for lateness ~ after that, your appointment may need to be rescheduled with a new deposit sent. Please message me if you’re running behind.

If I need to reschedule on my end due to illness/emergency/weather, I’ll offer you the choice of a new appointment time or a refund of your deposit.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Valid ID stating you are over 18

  • Cash (I can give you an estimate for how much to bring!)

  • A sweatshirt or blanket just in case

  • A guest, or just yourself! Additional guests can hang out at the waiting area in the lobby or explore downtown.

  • I would strongly suggest bringing headphones or something else to distract you in case I’m in the zone and not super talkative!

  • Optional: snacks, water, anything else you need to be comfy!

DON’TS

  • Don’t schedule anything right after your tattoo since tattoos can take more time than expected sometimes

  • Don’t show up sick, on an empty stomach, hungover, or intoxicated.

  • Don’t bring babies or young children to your appointment.

  • Don’t get a tattoo if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on blood thinners.

  • Don’t plan your tattoo on skin with active acne, sunburns, razor burns, open wounds, healing scars, psoriasis, any kind of infection, or skin that is very dry, rough or cracked.

  • Don’t schedule your tattoo during a time when you might be sunburned or hungover before coming in.

  • Do not schedule your tattoo less than 2 weeks before a trip where you will be swimming/in the sun.

RISK

There is always a small risk of infection and allergic reactions to ink when getting a tattoo. I follow all Oregon sanitation laws and standards, and I provide aftercare instructions. It is up to you to care for your tattoo during healing to prevent infection.

LONGEVITY

Ink will naturally spread a bit over time, and I want your tattoo to look amazing for the foreseeable future. The more detailed the design, the bigger your tattoo should be. Wearing sunscreen, moisturizing, and hydrating can help your tattoo look great long-term.

GIFT CARDS

Gift cards can be purchased in any amount by emailing me. Gift cards are non-refundable and valid for 2 years. I prefer that gift cards are purchased for folks who already know what my work looks like, so they’ll be ready to work with me!
