  • Generally, yes. Unless you are giving me true creative freedom, I need to know what it is you’d like for your piece!

    A conversation, I find, is the best way for us both to gauge whether we would work well together, and it allows me to ask all the questions! I often seek to understand the vibe, feeling, or symbolism behind a piece prior to designing it, so I ask questions specific to my process.

    If your tattoo doesn’t have some in-depth meaning, that’s okay! I often use consultation times to go over visual possibilities, too.

    These can be in-person ( I require this for most large projects), over Zoom, or on the phone.

  • The short answer is Yes.

    I usually ask that you come in so I can take a look at the scars to be covered and will ask questions about age.

    I'll never ask you to divuldge the origin of your scars, the above info is mostly needed to know if they are healed enough to tattoo.

    Top surgery scars need to be at least 18 months healed prior to tattoing.

  • I love doing coverups!

    Tattoos can be covered, but not all.

    For coverups, I generally will ask for you to come into the studio so we can talk options and I can take well-lit photos of the tattoo to be covered.

    Some coverups may require multiple sessions. If you are unable to travel to the studio we will discuss options.

    I may refer you out if I believe my skillset does not match what is required to cover your tattoo.

    In some situations, I will refer you to Removery to get a session of laser removal or two if the tattoo you're trying to cover is too dark.

  • I offer different types of sessions, because I've learned over the last few years that I have clients with different needs/ wants for their sessions.

    I have clients who want to just get it done and want to sit for 5+ hours. My Full-Day and 2-Day sessions are for them!

    I have clients who just want to let me do my thing, and trust me 1000% with their design, and I love this , so I wanted to make it a little more cost-effective for them with the Creative Freedom full or half days!

    My hourly sessions are for my clients who want to take things at their own pace, which I love and full support!

    You can read about all these session types on my Custom page!

FAQS : Before Session

  •  You want to make sure that you:

           + Are well-rested & have showered

           + Are hydrated ( bring a water bottle)

    ,       + Have eaten a good meal no more than 2-3 hours before your appointment ( ideally a meal, not a small snack - if you are not a morning eater, please schedule an appointment later in the day) 

         +Do not come to the session hung over or under the influence.

    ​     +Please refrain from taking any pain medication unless prescribed for a medical condition

  • I take COVID safety seriously and want you to feel comfortable at your appointment.

    • Masks are optional , but I can wear one if you prefer..

    Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or requests.

  • Cash is king.

    Cards are accepted w/ a 3.3% processing fee

    ALL tattoos are subject to Washington state sales tax ( current as of 06/2026 is 10.35%)

  • As of 2024, I am not allowing my clients to use numbing creams, as the FDA has warned against long-term health effects . Due to this, I can't in good conscience allow you to use something that might harm you later in life. You can read about this on the FDA site here.

    I do however have several products that are approved for use on broken skin or during the tattoo process. These are:

    • Bactine ( applied on breaks, and ocassionally during the tattoo process)

    • B Numb Numbing Spray - this one I use less liberally, and only employ when the client is having a hard time during the last 45 mins or so of the appointment.

    I reserve the right to cancel or reschedule your appointment if a numbing agent is applied before your arrival without my consent.

  • No. I do not send drawings or sketches before your appointment. Period. If you are coming to me for a tattoo, this means that you like my artistic taste/style enough to trust me to make you a rad tattoo! I also factor in the first 30 minutes of your appointment to go over the design to make sure you’re happy with it.

    If you’ve scheduled an Full-Day or 2-Day session, I will send you one sketch ahead of time, upon request.

    If you are neurodivergent and need additional processing time, please let me know and we will work something out!

  • I do offer touchups, for a $50 setup fee. This cost just covers my basic expense for setting up for the touchup.

    If you book a touchup at the same time of another piece, or if you need a touchup on a piece due to any tattoo technical error, I will do so for no additional cost.

Policies + Covid precautions

  • Custom Deposits are $300 (+tax) for all Hourly appointments.

    Deposits are non-refundable in all cases

    Deposits are forfeit if client no-call-no-shows to any appointment scheduled

    ALL Deposits require a signed Deposit Agreement

    Deposits count towards the cost of the final session of the tattoo

    - In the event that the artist reschedules for any reason, the deposit will be retained for the client.

  • I ask for a minimum of 4 days (96 hours) notice for all reschedules. This is due to the increasing amount of time it takes to fill a last-minute spot.

    For Full Day and 2-Day Appointments, I require a full 7 days notice.

    I allow a maximum of two reschedules, then a new deposit is required.

  • I take COVID safety seriously and want you to feel comfortable at your appointment.

    • Masks are optional, but I’m happy to wear one if you prefer.

    I myself have an Autoimmune condition, so that getting sick can take me out for extended periods of time and pose health risks for conditions I have.

    I ask kindly that you please reach out to me immediately if you are feeling sick, have been around someone sick, or have been exposed to COVID-19 or the Flu. I will do the same.

    ALL RESCHEDULE/CANCELLCATION POLICIES STILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF HOW UNEXPECTED YOUR ILLNESS IS.

  • No-Call-No-Shows are an automatic forfeiture of your deposit. I am a human and can understand that situations arise out of your control, such as emergencies, but rescheduling you is at my sole discretion.

    Cancellations, regardless of amount advance notice given, is a forfeiture of your deposit. I am more than happy to push your appointment out several months so you can retain the deposit on file with me instead.
