$400 Minimum - $200 Hourly

My current rate is $200 hourly. My minimum sit time is 2 hours - but whether the full 2 hours are used, or less; the minimum is $400

Mini Sessions will occasionally be offered for less than 2 hours but these will be limited and an Instagram post will be made to specify the open slot for them. See Mini Sessions section below for further details.

Consultations

For consults I require a $20 fee - This fee does not go towards your tattoo session; but rather my time for our meeting, the time it takes us to gather notes for your project, and my designing time. Consultation deposits are not refundable. If there are changes that will be made to an original design discussed in the first consultation; another one will be required and an another 20$ fee will be in place.

Deposits

$100 Deposits are required per appointment booked and are not refundable or transferrable. I accept my deposits through Venmo, Cash, Cashapp, Zelle or Apple pay during a scheduled consultation, or online booking. This deposit will go 100% towards your scheduled appointment, and will come off your total the day of. If adequate notice is given; the deposit may be carried one time. I do not take pre-payments. I do not accept credit card payments or checks.

Cancellations or Rescheduling

If a reschedule is needed before the appointment, with 72 hours notice; the deposit can be carried over to a new date one time, within the same booking period (3 months). If you need to cancel or reschedule within 72 hours of the appointment; the deposit is non-refundable, and a new one will be required to book again. If you are more than 30 minutes late to your tattoo appointment, you will need to reschedule and pay a new deposit. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your consultation appointment, you will need to reschedule and pay a new consultation fee.

Booking Times

I like to book only one client a day, so I can spend all my time and energy on one person. Some exceptions will be made if pieces are smaller. My appointments always start at noon. All tattoo sessions will take place between the hours of 12pm-8pm.

Touch Ups

I provide free touch ups for my work only- free of charge the first time up to 2 hours. Smaller fixes will be allotted a one hour slot in the morning, while larger fixes will take place in the evening. If a client is 10 minutes late to a touch up appointment, a reschedule will be required. Touch ups do not include adding to a preexisting piece, as additions will be charged for.

Mini Sessions

Mini sessions will only be available for last minute slot times: This means if I have had a last minute cancellation, or shorter session occur, I will be offering up a “mini session” to fill my time. This also means I will be looking to book sessions with pieces that will take 2-3 hours max at a flat rate of $400-$600 (following my hourly rate). I decided to offer these slots to people online who want smaller work, and have a more open availability to take last minute appointments. These cannot be booked in advance, and are for last minute fillings only. The allotted time given on the post will dictate the rate (in hourly). They will also only be offered by me directly through my Instagram stories, posts, or other social media contact. If a booking form is filled out for a piece in advance even if it is small, my minimum rate will apply.
