Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of tattoos do you specialize in?

I focus on custom, large-scale work — think sleeves, back pieces, and flowing designs that tell a story. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, made-just-for-you piece, you’re in the right place.

How do I book with you?

Easy — fill out my inquiry form with your idea, placement, budget, and a few inspo pics. If we're a match, I’ll reach out with next steps and deposit info.

How does booking work?

I typically book a few weeks in advance, on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want VIP access to openings, join the 43Club — that’s where spots drop first. If someone cancels, you'll be the first to know.

Do I need a full idea before reaching out?

Yes and no! You definitely don’t need a fully-formed concept. Tell me the vibe, themes, or meaning and I’ll turn it into a badass custom design.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes, however, I don't copy other artists work 1 for 1. I put my own creative touch on designs, making it a unique piece for you.

Do you offer cover-ups?

Selectively! Cover-ups require specific design approaches, so send me photos and I’ll let you know if I can take it on.

Do you take deposits?

Yep — a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot and goes toward the final cost. This helps protect my time and creative energy.

How long does it take to heal?

It takes a full 7-10 days for a tattoo to heal. After getting a new tattoo - avoid swimming, taking bubble baths, and in general to not to expose your open wound (which it is) to infection.

How long should I wait to remove the derma-bond?

7-10 days, it will come off naturally. When it does, you can gently wash the tattoo and moisturize it.

Derma-bond is the 'second-skin', the thin, sticky wrap we apply to new tattoos. Derma-bond keeps your skin from getting infected, and can  feel soothing for those with sensitive skin.
