Frequently asked questions
General
Full Arm Sleeves, Full front Torso, Backpieces, and Single-Day Pieces are my primary focus.
I do not do Traditional, Tribal, Japanese, Lettering, or Celtic tattoos—there are great artists who specialize in these styles and can serve you better.
I do not take on unfinished tattoos from other artists. I only work on projects I start from scratch.
I do not do cover-ups.
My ideal client comes to me with minimal direction, seeking a one-of-a-kind piece in my signature style and knowing what body area they want tattooed.
My schedule is largely booked through 2026. I have a limited number of weekday openings available for new projects, particularly larger multi-session work.
I charge day rates only based off the style and complexity of the piece —no hourly pricing.
My rates vary based on travel and location. If I take on your project, I will provide my rate.
Honestly i enjoy all types 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. A piece that turns heads, gets people to think and is always a conversation starter
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 a year 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 very 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.
