Policies & FAQ

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, please include as much detail as possible in your booking request! Describe the elements you’d like included, images for reference and inspiration, a rough idea of size and placement, and any other details I need to know. If you’re working with a budget, that’s helpful to know too.

I especially enjoy nature-related subjects, antique objects, ornamental, fantasy, and handwriting tattoos, but I’m open to almost anything if it’s in my skillset!

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 requires a new deposit.

Cost

My base rate is $135/hour, or may be a flat rate for a piece. Other than the deposit, the studio is CASH only! I can give you a quote for any design based on the size and placement, which could increase the day-of based on going with a larger size. You can schedule more than one design in one appointment, usually this saves time and money!

Deposits are non-refundable and due within 24 hours of booking the appointment. Your deposit contributes to the total cost.

Custom designs:

  • $100 deposit due at the time of booking

  • Minimum price is $135 per appointment. For small tattoos, you are welcome to get multiple done in one session to fill the hour!

  • Special pricing: handwriting or simple lettering up to 4” wide and 1.5” tall will be flat rate $100

Flash designs: These are my pre-drawn designs.

  • $50 deposit due at the time of booking

  • Minimum price is $80 for small ones under a half-hour.

  • You can get multiple flash at the hourly rate for a better deal!

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

  • chai, vanilla latte with whole milk, sugar free red bull, lemonade

  • baked goods, fresh fruit and veggies, candy

  • art books, ceramics, prints, artwork, crafts

  • thrifted trinkets, candles, flowers

Group tattoos

I can take groups for matching tattoos, a variety of small tattoos, or flash! Please let me know how many people are coming and we can book it as a half-day or full-day depending on how many people and the size of the design. Group tattoos could either require one deposit per group or one deposit per person, depending on design complexity.

Reworks & Coverups

I may rework old tattoos and do coverups on a case-by-case basis. Please make sure to send a few photos - make sure the photos are clear and well-lit. I won’t be able to accept every rework & coverup request.

Rescheduling and 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! Please ask in advance if you’d like to bring more than one guest.

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

Don’ts

  • 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.

Touch-Ups

I offer free touch-ups up to a year after your tattoo. Please email or direct message 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!

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 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!
