what is a hand poked tattoo?
a hand poked tattoo is a tattoo that’s made without using a machine. i use all the same equipment as a machine artist, but the tattoo is made dot by dot with a tattoo needle.​
​if i’m not ready to book but i have a question, how can i contact you?
you can use the contact form on my page to ask any questions you have! you can also ask me anything you’d like to know when booking through my booking form.
​
what’s the deposit for?
deposits are used to hold your appointment date and time. although your deposit will go toward the final cost of your tattoo, i keep it as payment for the day if you cancel or need to reschedule your appointment. deposits are non refundable and non transferrable.
​
what happens if i need to cancel my appointment?
as this is my only source of income, cancelations are hard on me financially. please let me know ASAP if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment for any reason. if i am able to reschedule you within the same month, i will let you know. if not, you may submit a new form once my books are open and i will give you priority.
​
how long will the appointment take?
my sessions last anywhere between 2 to 6 hours (including placement time and breaks). please do not make time sensitive plans for after your appointment as i'm not able to give you an exact estimate of how long your tattoo will take, and cannot guarantee we will be done on time. please do your best to not make me feel rushed during our appointment.
​
how much will my tattoo cost?
studio rate is 200/hr. if you have a specific budget please let me know in your submission form! i can either split the tattoo into multiple sessions or adjust the design to work with your budget.​
​
what forms of payments do you accept?
cash, zelle, venmo, or paypal.
​
do you do custom designs?
i prioritize flash requests but i definitely do custom work as well!
​
will my tattoo be one of a kind?
all of my flash is repeatable! customs are only done once.
​
do you do cover ups?
almost never. the only type of coverup i am willing to do is a small tattoo that can be covered completely by black fill.
​
how much do touch ups cost and how can i schedule one?
touchups are free with the exception of hands and fingers. if you need a touchup in that area, i will let you know in advance how much it will cost. you can book a touch up by emailing me directly, regardless of if my books are open or not.
