Pricing & Booking
All appointments will require a $100 deposit that comes off the total cost of the tattoo. It secures your appointment spot, as well as ensures I will have your design ready at the time of your appointment. I typically have one to two clients a day when I am tattooing. My hourly rate is $180 and my minimum is $100 for small one line designs. For palm to hand sized tattoos under 4 hours will be charged as a flat rate based on my hourly. On larger projects such as sleeves, torso work, thigh pieces, & backpieces I offer half day rates for $600. It will be at least a 4+ hour session on the initial linework for these bigger pieces that will be $700 for that first session.

Aftercare
You will leave the shop with a bandaged wrap covering your tattoo for at least 1-2 hours. With clean hands you will gently wash your tattoo to ensure all of the plasma that has been pushed out of the skin and the tattoo is sanitized. I recommend anti-bacterial hand soap such as Dial gold. The first 72 hours of having your tattoo, you will wash the tattoo at least 3-4x a day to prevent rough scabbing as well as infections. Once your tattoo has started to flake and peel, you can start using fragrance free lotion like Lubriderm. If you are afraid working environments will cause issues, you can wrap the area with plastic wrap on the clean and dry tattoo. You shouldn't wear this for more than 4 hours without washing and letting your tattoo airdry. If you are exercising and a particular exercise is causing the tattoo to feel stretching/tight, discontinue that exercise until the tattoo is fully healed. Stay away from gym mats and preventing your tattoo from touching equipment. You can shower as normal with a fresh tattoo with clean hands, but do not submerge your tattoo under water until it is fully healed. Doing this will cause bacteria to enter the wound from your tattoo and cause plenty of issues as well as poor healing quality.
