Now booking August through November in Seattle

I am only booking machine tattoos in black ink at this time:

FLASH BOOKING:

For small or large scale flash appointments, use this form. At flash appointments, you will pick a design from my physical flash book, which I am constantly adding designs to. These are over 300 designs available, which are repeated a few times before retiring. Flash can be viewed ahead of time on my Patreon. At this time, larger scale pieces may be split into multiple shorter sessions, based on my capacity.

Nipple tattoos can be booked using the form above. Your piece will be based on my flash ideas but drawn custom to your body.

For affirmation tattoos, please use this form. Affirmations can be of a handwriting sample you provide or a computer font we find together. Note that affirmations heal best when not done extremely small, as ink will spread over time.

Now offering tiny tat flash! Please use this form and select the 1.5 hour Tiny Tat option. The available pieces are viewable on Patreon and Instagram.

CUSTOM BOOKING:

For small or large scale custom hourly bookings (for small, medium, or large scale work), use this form. In these appointments, I will draw a design ahead of time, custom for you, based on your proposal. Designs are generally not shown ahead of time, so these are best suited to folks who are flexible and love my style. Small edits can be accommodated at the appointment start, but full redraws will require a reschedule to a new date along with a new deposit. We will actively tattoo for no more than 4 hours.

Once you have submitted a booking form, you will hear back in a week or so from my assistant. If accepted to work together, you will be given a link to my calendar to schedule yourself and pay your deposit.

Schedule:

I work Friday through Tuesday, taking appointments mid day. I do not work in the evenings.

Pricing:

I price my work on a sliding scale, based on the total time an appointment takes (not just active tattooing time). 

Flash appointments are $175-260 per hour with a $260-390 minimum (1.5 hours). If you are only doing 1 nipple tattoo (one side), a tiny tat, or an affirmation, it is a flat rate of $150-250. Most of my regular scale machine pieces can be completed in ~2 hours, while large scale work varies a lot based on design, placement, and size and typically take 3-5 hours or more to complete.

Deposits are required and will count toward your total tattoo cost. For custom tattoos, a portion of the deposit is a drawing fee.

Please pay wherever in the sliding scale that is comfortable to you, I will never ask you to justify this to me.

Tipping:

Though tipping is common in tattooing, as the owner of my own practice, I do not expect this from you. Some clients choose to tip on top of their payment or bring a non-monetary, vegan tip, but I ask that you do not bring me sweets or objects (other than books). A drink or savory snack is great!

A couple important skin notes for booking :

Please moisturize your skin in the week leading up to your tattoo! Dry skin is harder to tattoo and will compromise the quality of the piece.

Skin must be in its usual condition to be tattooed. It cannot be sunburned, scratched, or otherwise healing where the tattoo will be going. Scars must be healed 18+ months before being tattooed over, as the skin is still changing and healing before this time (and possibly longer). Scars often become raised during the tattoo process, and may be more painful to tattoo over.

I am happy to tattoo you if you experience chronic skin issues such as eczema, acne, or psoriasis. Just know that the tattoo may not heal perfectly depending on how your skin behaves in the area the tattoo goes! Psoriasis can also be activated by the tattoo process and flare up. 

Your comfort and agency is my priority!

I will always strive to check in before touching you, when resting my arm on your body, or before moving your body if I need to adjust your positioning while I work.

If the session is causing you too much pain, you are always welcome to take a break or to do your tattoo in multiple sessions. I also have a mid-session numbing spray available for use, but note that it only works when the skin is open and it will remove my stencil, so it is generally only used after I finish the outline.

I am a big advocate for clients pre-numbing beforehand using a product like Zensa, but I do not offer pre-numbing at the studio.

We have a privacy barrier, nipple covers, medical tape, and dental bibs so that you are only exposed as much as is comfortable to you. Please come to your appointment wearing clothing that easily allows access to the area being tattooed and which you don’t mind getting stained with ink. Mirrored or centered pieces on torsos are sometimes best placed with more of your body visible, so that they are aligned with centered body structures like collar bones, belly buttons, hips, etc. I will never require you to undress beyond your comfort, but may ask to briefly see where covered body parts are, or ask you to check yourself, or have you remove more clothing just for the stenciling step, before covering back up.

I know that having to maintain conversation with a stranger for an extended time can be a stress inducing part of getting tattooed, I am happy to work in silence and will have music playing in the background. I may also wear my own headphones while tattooing, as needed to focus.

If you prefer not to talk at all while being tattooed, you can let me know on your booking and consent forms! You are welcome to listen to your own music or media on headphones, as long as you can still hear me for periodic check ins.

Please bring a water bottle and personal snack to your appointment, as well as an extra layer in case you get cold. We have vegan glucose gummies in the studio if needed for a blood sugar boost
