Booking

Tell me what you’re thinking.

Every tattoo starts with a conversation. Send your idea below — I read every request myself and I’ll get back to you to set up a free consultation.

What happens after you hit send

  1. I read it myself. Every request comes straight to me — there’s no front desk and no assistant.
  2. You get a reply. I’ll come back to you to set up a free consultation, in person or by message, whichever suits you.
  3. We talk it through. Idea, placement, size, references and budget. I’ll tell you honestly what will work and what won’t, and quote the piece.
  4. You book with a $100 deposit. It holds your date, covers the drawing time, and comes off the final price. Reschedule with 48 hours’ notice and it moves with you. Full policy.
  5. I draw it for you. Your design is drawn before your appointment, custom to you, and never repeated on anyone else.
  6. You get tattooed. One client at a time, in a private suite, never rushed.

What helps me quote you faster

  • A clear idea, even a rough one. “A peony on my forearm, black and grey” tells me more than “a flower”.
  • Placement and rough size. Where on your body, and roughly how big — palm-sized, half sleeve, that kind of thing.
  • Reference images. Bring them to the consult. They help even when they’re not what you want exactly — sometimes especially then.
  • A photo, if it’s a cover-up. Clear, well-lit, straight on. See cover-up tattoos for what’s realistic.
  • A budget range. Optional, but it lets me plan a piece that actually fits what you want to spend.

Request your free consultation

Free, no obligation, and usually answered the same day. We’ll talk it through and I’ll quote the piece before anything is scheduled.

Or reach me directly

Consultations are free and carry no obligation — there is no deposit to talk. The $100 deposit only comes in once you decide to book a date. The studio is appointment-only — a private suite, not a walk-in street shop. More in the FAQ.
