Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge?
I charge $2000 for the day, I do not charge hourly this is the minimum to start any project.
What does a day session consist of?
A typical session lasts anything from 4-10 hours. We will spend about 1-2 hours getting your design ready and setting up, the rest of the day is spent tattooing. I only do one tattoo per day so there are no time constraints, this day is yours to get as much as possible done.
I have an existing tattoo will you cover it or fix it up?
Considering the demand for my original work it has forced me to prioritize projects on comfort, inspiration and quality. Its simply not possible for me to accomplish the same quality of work when i'm working off someone else's work and therefore I am not excepting these projects at this time.
Do you do any color tattoos?
YES! I'm officially back in the color realism game and would love to take on more color.
I want a full sleeve, how long do sleeves normally take?
A sleeve can take me anywhere from 5-7 sessions. This is largely depending on the size of your arm and the over all detail in the pieces involved.
How long is your wait list for an appointment?
We tried the waitlist thing for years and it made things really difficult. So for the last few years and going forward we are doing booking periods. This makes things easier for me to really focus on the projects and gives everyone a pretty clean cut answer right off the bat. Usually January 1st at noon the books open for about 2 hours, and that usually does it for the year.
I'm not entirely sure what I want or how to put it together, can you help?
Of course, if your ideas are unclear and your having trouble Id love to sit down for a consultation and go over the options, consults usually take about 20 minutes.
When can I see the design?
All designing/ drawing is done the day of, I do some research and compiling of reference before your appointment. However I need you with me as I design so I can have your influence during the process.
What if I don't like the design or it takes all day to figure out?
No worry at all, you will not be charged for the day if all we did was the design or if you're uncomfortable with the finished product. I would hate to pressure you into anything permanent that you were not in love with. We can schedule another appointment and you and I can do some more brainstorming in the meantime.
(Skip the wait option) I don't want to wait for the books to open, can I get in sooner?
I put a lot of time in effort into every day I'm at work. I schedule 2 days a week off to recharge mentally take care of things at home and spend quality time with my family. However, I do understand that some of you have specific timelines due to travel, work or simply want it NOW. If this is you I am willing to come in on one of my days off for double my normal rate (that would be $4000 for the day). If You are interested in this option please email me directly at [email protected] and write "Skip the wait" in the email subject. Please include a description of your idea and any reference material.
When will the books open?
The books for new projects will open Jan 1st 2024 at 12 noon. This will likely be the only day to book for 2024.
