To begin the process, please complete the Appointment Form with as much detail as possible about your concept, placement, size, and meaning. The more I understand your vision, the better I can design something intentional and personal for you.

Once I’ve reviewed your submission, my assistant or I will be in touch. Projects drawn from my Predesigned or Wish List collections receive priority responses, while other custom concepts may take longer as I research and consider the best approach. If you haven’t heard back within three weeks, especially during event season, please follow up to ensure your email didn’t land in spam.

Every tattoo is unique, and most unfold over more than one sitting. Current pricing is structured around my session rates of $1,600 (4-5 hrs) or $2,450 (7-8 hrs).

Project tiers:

• Small Project — under $3,000
  One sitting; best for a single, meaningful piece or add-on.

• Focused Project — $3,000–$8,000
  Mid-scale tattoos that take multiple sittings with strong detail.

• Full Commitment Project — $10,000+
  Large-scale, multi-session projects such as sleeves, back murals, and multi-site work.

• Whatever it takes — I trust the process
  I understand sittings range from $1,600–$2,450 and am committed to the best possible outcome.

Once we begin, your rate is honored for the duration of your project, provided sessions are kept on a regular schedule.

Most tattoos require multiple sittings to achieve the vibrance and depth my work is known for. Full-day sittings (7-8 hrs) are recommended for maximum progress. Smaller projects may be completed in one sitting, while larger projects may take months of regular sessions. During booking, I’ll give you an estimate tailored to your design.

A deposit is required to reserve your appointment and begin the design process.

• Single-day sessions: the deposit equals the session rate.

• Multi-session projects: the deposit is applied to the final sitting.

With at least one month’s notice, deposits may be transferred to a new date. Within one month, deposits are forfeited. In the rare case of a documented medical emergency or significant life event, I may consider transferring a deposit at my discretion.

Communication is essential — no-call/no-shows result in an automatic forfeiture of the deposit. A new deposit will be required to reschedule or to keep future sessions on the calendar.

When you book, we confirm the concept, placement, and scale. Small adjustments are fine, but significant changes (subject matter, location, or size) require a new booking and deposit. This ensures every design is approached with the care and focus it deserves.

My focus is on color realism, portraits, Liz Girls, geo-floral themes, and creative fusion work. Many of my projects incorporate mixed-style elements — if you’d like to see how I blend approaches, the best way is to explore my Portfolio, where you’ll find examples of how realism, abstraction, and color interplay in my work.

I do accept select cover-ups, but only when the new design has the strength, flow, and color saturation to fully redirect attention from the old tattoo. This ensures the result feels intentional and complete, not like something hidden beneath.

I do not take on lettering, tribal, traditional Japanese, or traditional American work. If your project is outside my scope, I’ll gladly recommend one of the talented artists in my studio who may be a better fit.

I open a limited number of projects each quarter. Full Commitment and Predesigned concepts receive priority scheduling. If your project is selected, we’ll work together to align timing based on availability.

Read the Preparation Guidelines and Aftercare Overview before you submit a request. Tattoos are a multi-session commitment with real healing windows. Knowing this upfront helps us choose timing that actually works for your life.

Before you submit, please confirm:

• You are not scheduling right before travel, beach/pool/hot-tub trips, photoshoots, major events, or surgery/procedures.

• You can commit to follow-up sittings if needed.

• The area is free of recent sunburn/tanning and can be kept out of heavy sun or soaking water while healing.

• You can arrive rested, hydrated, fed, and in clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo site.

• You will avoid alcohol the day before/day of and will disclose any prescribed blood-thinning medications so we can adjust.

When you’re good on all of the above, submit your request — if the timing isn’t right, simply circle back when your calendar supports the process and healing.

Each tattoo includes aftercare instructions tailored to your healing method (Second Skin vs. traditional care). Following these steps closely ensures your tattoo heals properly and maintains its vibrance. Full details are available on the Aftercare Page.

If you need to pause, please let me know. I honor the rate we agreed upon for the duration of your project, provided sessions are kept within a reasonable timeframe. Long breaks (multiple years) may require updated pricing to reflect current rates.

Drawings and designs are completed for the day of your appointment and will not be available for viewing before your scheduled date. This is intentional: it allows me to work with clarity and focus, creating a piece that is fresh, inspired, and designed specifically for your body and story.

If major changes to the concept are requested, a new booking and deposit are required. Minor adjustments can be made during the appointment.

On occasion, I may change my mind on a design right before your session — oh, that fickle muse! This spontaneity is part of what keeps the process alive and ensures the work reflects both your vision and my best artistry.
