The shop minimum fee is $150.00 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 Tues.-Saturday. Feel free to copy and paste for your inquiry!

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.

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

I can take on appointments Tuesdays-Saturdays, starting at 12pm. Tattooing ends at 6:45pm to allow the shop to close daily at 7pm.

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 (a percentage given to the shop from every tattoo), 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.

As your tattoo artist, one of my main priorities is safety! You may not realize, but there are huge safety concerns for both client and artist with having guests at your appointment. In my experience, guests tend to unintentionally bump the tattoo table, cause the client to move frequently (turning head to talk), and touch the sanitary areas, to name a few. This can cause needle pricks and serious harm to your artist as well as cause general disruption during your tattoo. For these reasons, only one guest can be accommodated per client and should expect that they may not be permitted entry beyond the seating area at the front of shop! Thank you for your understanding.

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!
