If you know what you’re looking for, fill out the form on my homepage. I will write back as soon as I can and let you know whether I think I would be a good fit for your project. Checking out my work on Instagram can give you an idea of the kinds of projects I’m most likely to take on, but you should always ask just in case.
If you don’t know what you’re looking for but you like my style, you can click here to book a consultation from a list of subjects I’m always excited to tattoo!

Unless you’re getting a piece from my ready-made designs, I always start with a consultation. I prefer to meet in person because I have a unique process that helps me design for the curves and contours of the body, which can’t be planned for via photo.
However, if you’re traveling to get tattooed I do offer zoom consultations. But our first session will be longer so that I can adjust the stencil to fit the body perfectly.
By the time you leave your consultation, you should have a pretty firm idea of where we’re going with the design.
Consultations are $25.

There are 2 paths we can take from there.
I. The first path is more traditional- After our consult we will book your tattoo appointment and you will be seeing your design for the first time at that appointment. There will be some time to review the design and make minimal changes.
This path works for pieces that are universal in nature (something I could tattoo on someone else if you decide it’s not for you), for clients who have worked with me before, or just designs that are pretty straightforward.
If we are able to move forward with the design, the booking fee will be credited toward the cost of the tattoo. If the changes we make to the design require more time and we run out of time to start the tattoo, the booking fee compensates me somewhat for the time, and you will pay a second booking fee to book the next tattoo appointment. During our consultation I work to ensure I’m very clear on expectations in order to avoid that outcome, but it can happen.
II. For larger, more complex designs on clients I have not worked with before, I recommend a design review. This is where you will see the finalized design, fully rendered in color or greyscale, projected onto a picture of your body so you can see almost exactly what it will look like.
We will have an hour to discuss any changes you would like to make. Any agreed-upon changes that cannot be fully rendered by the end of our time together will be done in the time leading up to your next design review appointment.
Whether it’s love at first sight, or it takes a few tries to get it right, before we even book your tattoo appointment, you know exactly where we’re going together.
Design review fees are subject to the size and detail of the proposed image or changes. They are approximately 10% my hourly rate.
Booking fees are separate and represent a commitment to a tattoo appointment (or several appointments). The cost of the booking fee will be credited to the final cost of the tattoo.
