Tell me about your tattoo.

Yes. My minimum is $400, which covers setup, design time, and a small single-session piece. Most pieces run $400 to $1600 per session. Larger projects — sleeves, back pieces, multi-session realism, Japanese compositions — are quoted hourly at $280/hr after the consultation locks the design.

A $200 non-refundable deposit secures your appointment and is applied to your final price. It covers the design time I spend before we meet — usually two to four hours of drawing, more for larger or denser pieces.

After your request, we book a consultation — usually in person at the studio, or over video if you're out of town. We lock placement, scale, reference, and session count. I draw your design custom and send it ahead of the first session so there's time for one round of changes.

Give me 48 hours notice and your deposit moves to the new date once. Less than 48 hours or a second reschedule requires a new deposit. Emergencies are handled case-by-case — message me as soon as you know.

That's the most common starting point. Send what you have — a feeling, a reference, a rough shape — and we shape it together at the consultation. Custom work leaves a lot of room to refine. Most of my pieces look quite different from the first reference a client sends.
