Appointment Types & Pricing Breakdown
Flash & "All-You-Can-Flash"
I have lots of designs that are pre-drawn and ready to be tattooed at any size! :)
The "all-you-can-flash" appointment style is when we use a longer appointment to accommodate multiple flash designs, still using the flat rates shown below. Please note I can not guarantee how many designs we get done, as it depends on the level of detail, scale, and placement that we agree on. You can view available flash on the "flash" section of my website. If you would like to customize flash, please let me know what you have in mind – note that the design would then be considered "custom" and no longer a flash design. That said, I am happy to omit design elements at no additional cost. I do not tattoo other tattoo artists' flash. For larger designs (palm size/3" or more), please book a half-day or full-day appointment. Small designs done within 1 hour is $150, and over 1 hour is $200.
$150-$200 for a 2-hour appointment
$300 flat rate for a half-day appointment
$600 flat rate for a full-day appointment
If you have a design you'd like me to tattoo with an artist's permission, the pricing will be in the "reference book" category.
Reference Book Tattoos
I LOVE these appointment types! I have a sizable collection of books containing what is essentially vintage clip art. They are copyright-free artworks and engravings originally made for advertising and general design usage. These books have everything from flowers to ships, to silly little animals, to jewelry, to paper dolls. There is something for everyone and a lifetime's worth of tattoo inspiration! Due to the amount of art to choose from, only a half-day and full-day appointment type is available. This allows you time to decide what you'd like, and me time to refine or adapt the artwork as needed.
$325 flat rate for a half-day appointment
$625 flat rate for a full-day appointment
Please come 30 minutes early for this type of appointment to pick out your design/s, or book a consultation to peruse my collection of designs (recommended for larger pieces).
Custom
Please feel free to book in based on the information below. If you would like to confirm that I feel comfortable or interested in your tattoo idea, I have an inquiry form! This form is also great if you have a lot of detail and reference images. That said, you can also reply to your booking confirmation email with additional reference images and/or details as needed. I will not hesitate to ask for additional information if I feel I'm missing anything.
Small Custom and lettering/script tattoos (under 3")
$150 for a small motif or line of text, $200-$250 for tattoos that include more than 1 element or include color.
Medium Custom (3-6")
$350 flat rate for a half-day appointment/this design scale.
Large Custom (6"+)
$650 flat rate for a full-day appointment/this design scale.
Consultations
Consultations are complimentary if a tattoo appointment is made following the consultation, otherwise a $20 fee is due. I do prefer to communicate via email – I have auditory processing disorder, so emailing is a bit more accessible for me. That being said, I appreciate that it feels good to meet your artist, and I am more than happy to talk with you one-on-one. Consultations are also a bit more efficient at pulling out information if you need design help and guidance. :)
Touch-ups
One touch-up is included with your tattoo (except for hand/foot tattoos), additional tattoo touch-ups are $50. Please book a 2-hour appointment for a touch-up and for bonus points, include a healed photo of your tattoo. :) No deposit is needed, unless you would like to get an additional tattoo of course, or if you are booking a hand or additional touch-up for $50.
F.A.Q.
On Pain
Tattoos sting. To me it feels a bit like a cat scratch and more sensitive areas can feel like being sliced. Small tattoos can take about 10-45 minutes of tattooing. To minimize discomfort, I recommend having good meals the day and morning before your appointment and to be hydrated. Avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours helps too, with pain and with bleeding. :) Different areas can be more sensitive, but I am more than happy to consult about your desired placement to provide more information and ease anxiety! I also love using bactine and offer stronger numbing spray as well!.
Aftercare
Good aftercare is how you can help ensure a good healed outcome for your tattoo. I have detailed reccomendations available. That said, I don't want the aftercare to seem intimidating or complicated! There is no perfect way to heal a tattoo. The main goal is to not get an infection- don't pick at your healing tattoo, don't soak it or go in bodies of water for about 2 weeks. Everything else is my recommendation to optimize your healing environment.
Numbing
Please do not come to your appointment with numbing cream applied. The skin becomes rubbery and waterlogged, making it difficult for me to tattoo. I DO however, have a strong numbing spray that I am happy to use after we do the linework of your tattoo! It will be worth the wait. Please let me know if you have any concerns for your pain tolerance and I am happy to advise.
My History
I've been learning to tattoo since December 2022. I was an apprentice under Isabela Livingstone June 2023 to December 2023 and continue to learn more every day! :)
Before I started tattooing, I was a graphic designer (I earned a BFA in 2017) and worked as a print designer for almost 10 years. My experience and passion for design has been hugely transferrable and largely influences my process and business practices. I love talking about type and design! I also love talking about a bunch of other stuff too, lol. Love factoids and such.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Bring your photo ID to your appointment and let me know if you have any allergies or if you have sensitive skin.
Arrive on time (please enter no more than 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late.) If you have any questions or if you are running late, you can reply to the booking confirmation email and I will receive it directly. A late arrival may affect your appointment cost or we may need to schedule an additional session to complete your tattoo.
To reschedule, please let me know no fewer than 48 hours before your appointment so I can transfer your deposit to the rescheduled slot. A deposit transfer/reschedule is permitted once only. If you need to reschedule last-minute (within 48 hrs of your appointment) a new deposit will be due. If you no-call-no-show it will be logged in the booking software and may affect your ability to book future appointments with any artist at the shop.
