my artist minimum fee is $120.00 before tax! All tattoos under an hour’s time will qualify for shop minimum - after an hour’s time, my hourly will apply.

My hourly is currently $140/hour before tax.

As your artist I will need the following information:

Subject matter, placement on body, approximate size (inches), black/grey or colour, general availability, and maximum budget. Feel free to copy and paste for your inquiry or use my booking form for the most convenience!

Please wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that can be rolled up and taped out of the way for the area we will be tattooing! It is possible your clothing or shoes will get stained, dark coloured clothing is optimal. Refer to my guide below for my recommendations for specific body parts.

I can typically accommodate appointments requests within two-three weeks of inquiry! It depends on your availability, weekends are the most sought after appointments and fill up quickly, so don’t be afraid to book a day off work or leave early ;)

I can take on appointments Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays starting at 12pm. If you are wanting a specific day outside my usual hours, feel free to let me know as it may be possible to organize.

A non-refundable deposit reserves your tattoo appointment date and time, and guarantees your attendance and commitment to the appointment. When a deposit is received, it lets me know as a tattoo artist, that I can rely on you as a client. Regardless of the tattoo project size, administration tasks, research, set up/materials, and other unseen labour always occurs behind the scenes of your appointment! The deposit acts as a safety net for tattoo artists’ livelihood should a last minute cancellation or no-show occur, we will still have a minor portion of income for the appointment missed.

A tattooer’s fee is derived from: labour, shop overhead (booth rental), set up materials, design/drawing time and administration.

Your non-refundable deposit may be completely forfeited if there is not enough time left to complete your tattoo, OR my hourly rate will begin to apply and be added on to the total cost after completion of the tattoo.

Please inquire during booking process! It may not be possible to accommodate guests at the station/during the tattoo and they may be required to remain at the lounge area. A maximum of one guest is usually permitted. At all times guests are subject to be asked to leave due to disruptions levels, inappropriate behaviour, etc.

Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time! I will always begin at our agreed upon time, excessive early arrival will only give you a front row seat (from the waiting area) of me preparing for your appointment. Signing forms is factored into your appointment time, for those who like to be prepared :)

Flash, flash designs, flash tattoos, all refer to pre-drawn, ready to tattoo designs that an artist has available! Clients often choose flash when they want something original that can only be done by that artist’s hand and mind. I offer a selection of flash designs that can be found on the navigation menu under “Flash”! I include estimated pricing and proposed dimensions on each sheet - feel free to inquire with any questions!
