Pricing
Minimum/ base rate / 1 hour: $175
2 Hour / Quarter Day Rate: $350
4 Hour / Half Day Rate: $700
6 Hour / Full Day Rate: $1050
1 Hour Minimum: Generally anything black and grey or just line work, that is 1-4 inches can fall into this category depending on the design. Smaller does not always equal easier or faster, it often makes a design with more details more difficult to execute. Micro-realism often takes longer for the detail. I will let you know how small a design can go without compromising its longevity on the skin.
Half Day Session: Covers 3-4 hours of tattoo time on pieces 5-6 inches, or pieces that have a more difficult stencil application, such as spine pieces, sternum, wrap around arm or leg, etc.
Full Day Session: Covers 6 hours with time for stencil application. Full days are for those wanting larger pieces, doing sessions on projects taking up larger landscapes of skin, and those with higher pain tolerances. I no longer do sessions longer than 6 hours at a time for my own health and pain management.
Appointment Deposits
A deposit of $50-$100 (depending on detail of design) will be required through Zelle or Venmo to confirm your appointment after appointment details have been finalized.
Paying your deposit is an acknowledgement of a “contract” between artist and client and your commitment to showing up to your appointment.
Deposits are included in the final price of your tattoo.
If we go through the scheduling process, finalize a date, and you do not pay the deposit fee, you will not have a confirmed appointment scheduled until you receive a confirmation of your payment from me. And the date and time you decided on will be opened back up to the public.
If you need to reschedule your appointment and you’ve given me at least 72 hours notice, your deposit will be honored for a reschedule.
Deposits will be honored for one booking reschedule round (up to 4 months) before it will be forfeit and another deposit will be needed.
Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel under 72 hours notice of your appointment, or no-call, no-show your appointment.
Forms of Payment
Cash is preferred. I will accept Zelle or Venmo if necessary. Please plan to bring cash. Tips are always appreciated, but never required or expected.
My goal with flat rate pricing is to maintain a fair and transparent price structure. Clients will know exactly how much to expect to pay and won’t be caught off guard by the guessing game of hourly rates. Many factors can go into determining how long a tattoo will actually take, there are many variables that can extend the time, it isn’t an exact science and this takes a bit of the anxiety out of what to expect for sessions.
I will let you know which option you will need based on time, difficulty and detail, whether I think you‘ll need a half day or full day session and work with you on how you’d like to schedule your time.
If you are budgeting let me know, some certain designs can be broken down into smaller sessions, depending on how much time is needed on the first session for the specifics of the design.
