FAQ

  • You can request an appointment through the booking form on this page or by emailing me directly. Once we go over your idea and size/location, we can coordinate a date.

  • I am currently focused in American traditional and some Japanese traditional style tattoos, but I’m always down to take on something new! Check out my portfolio to get a feel for my work/style.

  • Get a good night’s sleep, eat before your appointment, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol or blood thinners 24 hours beforehand. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a snack if we’re going long.

  • As an apprentice the tattoos are currently on me. Tips are always appreciated to cover the cost of the supplies. Cash is king, but I do accept digital payments like Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

  • You’re welcome to bring one support person, but space is limited and the vibe stays best when it’s low-key. No kids or large groups, please.

  • Absolutely. My studio is a welcoming and respectful space for everyone.
