My work focuses primarily on:Large Scale Color RealismSurrealismOpaque Black & GreyFull SleevesFull BacksFull Front PiecesMulti-Limb ProjectsBody Suit Abstract RealismPsychedelic ArtworkMixed-Style CompositionsSymbolic and Conceptual DesignArtist Choice/No Input/Instagram Portfolio Projects for Filming content and sending to tattoo magazines are always top priority.I generally do not accept Cover-Ups, lettering, tribal, traditional American, or traditional Japanese projects, as they fall outside the direction of my work.

My schedule is largely booked through 2026. I have a limited number of weekday openings available for new projects, particularly larger multi-session work.Currently accepting limited new projects Nov 2026 -March 2027.Full Sleeves, Back Pieces, Large Scale Realism Projects and Artist Choice/Wanna do/No Input projects for Instagram portfolio or Filming Content and Sending to Magazines are always given top priority.

So when it comes to project types and pricing. I offer two different approaches to custom tattoo projects, each with a different creative process and pricing structure.Custom Client Commission / Life Journey ProjectsThese pieces are built around your story, ideas, experiences, symbolism, and personal vision. They often require more research, collaboration, revisions, and problem solving to transform your concepts into a cohesive, one of a kind composition.Artist Choice / Portfolio ProjectsThese projects give me complete creative freedom to develop an original concept from the ground up. They are created to push my artistic style, build my portfolio, produce educational and behind the scenes content, and submit work to tattoo publications and magazines. Since I have full creative control and can work without the limitations of a client directed concept, these projects are typically offered at a more favorable rate.I genuinely enjoy creating both types of projects. If telling your personal story through art is most important, a custom commission is likely the best fit. If you're excited to wear a completely original piece and trust my artistic direction, an artist choice project offers exceptional value while allowing us to create something truly unique together.Every project is priced individually based on its size, complexity, placement, and overall scope. Typical each session day rates range from $1,500–$2,500, depending on whether the project is a Custom Client Idea/Life Journey Commission or a Artist choice/Wanna do/No input Portfolio piece used for filming content and to send to magazines. When you reserve more tattoo days you will receive a discounted daily rate. Larger projects benefit from both lower pricing and greater artistic consistency.Large Scale Project Sleeves, backs, fronts, body suits, and extensive multi-area work that often exceeds $10,000.Whatever It Takes For clients who understand that exceptional work takes time, I'm happy to develop the project over as many sessions as necessary to achieve the strongest possible result.

Honestly I enjoy and currently would like to do more large scale pieces that are not just a tattoo, but are Art that stands out and compliments the wearer.  Artist choice/Wanna do/No input Portfolio piece used for filming content and to send to magazines. A piece that turns heads, gets people to think and is always a conversation starter.

Most larger tattoos evolve over multiple sessions.During the early planning stages, estimates may be presented as a range since placement, scale, and overall complexity can influence the amount of work required.Once we've finalized the design and agreed upon a treatment plan, your quote is established and honored throughout the project.Pricing is only reconsidered in rare situations, such as significant healing complications outside my control or projects that are paused for several years before resuming under updated studio rates.Clear communication, consistent scheduling, and thoughtful planning allow every project to move forward smoothly while ensuring expectations remain clear from beginning to end.Please note that design fee is only for this agreed project and placement. If later you choose to change agreed project or theme or style if accepted you will be required to another design fee.

I am currently not looking to do any coverups unless has been removed with laser.

I am not currently looking to tattoo hands, fingers, necks, heads, face, feet and armpits. I like to tattoo flat areas that are big and easy to heal.

Yes, I travel for guest spots and attend at least a couple of out-of-state conventions each year. I post updates on my website, Instagram, and Facebook when I have travel dates or convention appearances.

I do oil paint but currently am not taking commission pieces at the moment. I will post on Instagram when I will start taking them.

Once you submit the inquiry form, here’s how the process works: 1.Form Submitted You provide details about your idea, placement, size, budget, and creative flexibility. This helps me understand the full scope of the project. 2. Review Process I personally review every submission. This ensures the project aligns with my artistic direction and availability. 3. Follow-Up Response If the project feels like a good fit, you’ll receive a response with: Estimated session count or day rate Timeline and availability Design fee details Next steps to move forward 4. Scheduling Once the design fee is paid, your appointment is officially booked and secured on the calendar.

A minimum of two (2) weeks' notice is required to reschedule and transfer your design fee.If you cancel or reschedule less than 2 weeks before your appointment, you forfeit your design fee, and a new deposit must be paid within 48 hours to retain any future appointments.No-call/no-shows will result in the same forfeiture policy.Special considerations are given for pregnancy and extended illness.Frequent cancellations, reschedules, or no-shows will result in loss of priority, cancellation of future appointments, and placement back on the waitlist.

If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, I strongly recommend booking in advance. Waiting longer than 3 months between sessions may cause delays in completing your piece and could affect the overall flow and coherence of the design.

Every project is booked by the day and based on an estimated number of sessions. In most cases, these estimates are accurate and everything progresses as planned. However, tattooing is a custom process and there are times when factors such as skin response, healing, placement, design complexity, or the level of detail required can affect the overall time needed.Many of the large scale tattoos I create are built in layers in sessions rather than completed all at once. Certain effects, values, textures, transitions, and details often heal stronger and look better long-term when they are approached gradually and adjusted after seeing how the skin responds. For this reason, I never rush a tattoo simply to fit within an estimate. My priority is creating the strongest piece possible—one that looks great not only when it is completed, but years down the road as it settles into the skin.While I do my best to provide accurate timelines, session estimates should be viewed as projections rather than guarantees. If additional time is required to properly complete the original design, strengthen areas after healing, refine transitions, increase readability, or achieve the quality standard intended for the piece, additional sessions may be necessary and would be billed at my current day rate.Minor touch-ups for healing variations are different from additional work required to fully realize the original vision of the piece. If I believe additional tattooing would significantly improve the final result, I will discuss my recommendations with you before moving forward.My commitment is always to creating the best tattoo possible, not simply the fastest one possible. Every decision is made with the long-term quality, longevity, and overall impact of the tattoo in mind.Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
