Parking/Appointment info here.

I also guest in other cities. Sign up for my newsletter to stay updated and let me know if you want me to come to your city!

For "flash"(pre-drawn designs that are often repeatable), you can choose a design at the shop during your appointment or you can contact me to ask about a design you have seen on my instagram or a design that is not mine.  

For custom drawings and bigger projects, please contact me with your idea.  If you'd like, we can schedule a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your idea in person. I usually sketch some ideas before hand but wait until the appointment to make the final version with you there. 

A $50 non-refundable deposit will be required to secure your tattoo appointment. For flash, the deposit goes towards the total cost of your tattoo. For custom work the deposit is kept as a drawing fee. 

Cash is preferred to avoid card processing and merchant fees, but I can also accept other payment options if necessary.

I price by the piece and do deals for multiple tattoos in one session. Arms and legs are less expensive then other areas. For tattoos that take more than one day I price by the session. If you are sticking to a budget or wondering about how much something will be just let me know. 

If you need to reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible—at least 72 hours before your appointment. Any cancellations or rescheduling made after this window will result in the loss of your deposit. If you reschedule before the 72-hour window, I can apply your deposit to the new appointment. However, deposit re-application is allowed only once; additional rescheduling will require a new deposit.

If you cannot make it to your appointment, let me know as soon as possible. Please avoid being absent with no communication so somebody else can have your spot.

In the state of Oregon, tattoo artists can accept any form of government issued photo ID, such as driver's license, ID card, passport, etc.

If your tattoo could use a little extra loving I will touch it up at no additional cost. Just contact me and we will find time to make it happen regardless if my books are open or closed.
