Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday 10am-7pm

Limited Fridays & Saturdays available. 10am-7pm

I work approximately 2 Fridays and 2 Saturdays a month to allow for time with my family. For this reason, my weekend availability is far more limited. If you’re able to book a weekday, please do! I try to save my Fri/Sat availability for clients whose schedules really need the accommodation.

How to Book with me:

You can book a consultation here. (More Info Below)

Or, you can fill out a request form. Response time-typically within 5 days. I’ll text you and we’ll go from there. You'll be sent a scheduling link to book once we've settled details.

Email is another great way to reach me.

Return Clients: If you have my phone number, feel free to text me anytime to set up a new project or continue unfinished work.

Short Notice Bookings:

If I have availability open up within the week, you can find/book those times here.

I will see the booking notification and reach out to you for details.

Cancellations happen all the time. So if you’re wondering if I can get you in last minute, never hesitate to reach out. Or, click that link!

I’m typically booked out solidly 2 weeks, sometimes a month. But usually, as long as you don’t need a weekend date, I can get you in within the month.

I always offer complimentary (free!) consultations. This can be in person, by phone call, or video chat. Consults take about 10-30 minutes. I can answer Qs, help refine your idea, look @ reference pictures with you, etc. It’s a great opportunity to check out the shop and meet me if you’d like to do so prior to booking. Consults can be booked directly off my website, here.

Pricing:

My hourly rate is $175/hr

This has been my rate since 2023. Despite costs of business rising, I’ve kept it the same. My goal to provide quality while staying financially accessible to my client base.

Please note, I keep track of, and charge for, our time actually working on the project. I never want my clients to feel like they’re watching the clock, worried I’m charging for every second they’re in shop. That is not how I operate. I will quote you a session rate based on how long I think it will take. Or I will give you a quote range.

I book buffer time for design discussion + breaks that you are not charged for. For example, when you book my 5 hr half-day appointment, your quote is for 3-4 hrs of tattoo work. This is clarified when we speak about your project, and in the description of the booking link you will use to schedule.

The minimum of the shop I’m at is $100. This is for something that takes 20 min or less to tattoo.  Tattoos that take somewhere between 20 min- an hour will be priced accordingly.

We will thoroughly discuss your budget, estimated cost, and per session pricing. For ongoing/ large projects, sometimes I can’t give you a full quote. I can can give you an estimate of how many β€œx” hr sessions we may need. And what each session cost is. But, sometimes knowing exactly how long a large scale project will take is just not possible. As we say in tattooing β€œIt takes as long as it takes”. I always strive to set our sessions up to be as efficient as possible.

Payment:

$ Cash Only $

Please be prepared to pay with CASH on the day of your appointment. There are several banks with ATMs across the street from Living Skin Tattoo where you can withdraw cash if needed. Please plan ahead.

If you must pay card, sales tax will be applied on top of the total. Since this comes out to around $200/hr, you save significantly when you pay cash.

Deposits are the exception to cash only. Unless paid in person, deposits are paid by card -only- through my website scheduling link so it can be easily tracked for both our sake.

I will -never- ask for a deposit from you via Venmo, Cash App, or other methods.

My Squarespace website uses Square secure payments only.

Guests:

I am happy to accommodate 1 guest. A support person, whether for mental health, sentiment, or disability is always welcome.

However, for long sessions, more than 3 hours, No Guests is absolutely my preference. If you’d like your guest to be there for the beginning of a long session, no problem. But please plan for them to either hang out in our lobby, or leave at a certain point. Having more than just the client in my work space can interrupt my work flow. Especially if they are engaging with you the whole time. I am a sensory sensitive human, I need to have these boundaries for my own well-being, but also so I can do my best work for you. I can’t do that if I’m distracted or overloaded.

If you and a friend, or group of friends, are getting tattooed together, one guest may be in the work station at a time. Additional guests can hang out in our lobby & switch out when reasonable. I want you to have the best tattoo experience possible. There’s room for nuance.

This is also for the respect of my coworkers. We work in an open studio environment, and it can be distracting for other artists & their clients if there’s too many people on the tattoo floor.

Drawings/Design process

I do -not- show designs until the time of the appointment. This means I do not send out drawings. No exceptions.

I know that can sound scary, everyone wants to see their design ahead of time. I have found, it’s not productive. We cannot cohesively talk about design changes over text. My hope is that you're choosing me because you like the way I draw and have viewed my portfolio of work. I only ever want to tattoo a design you love! I do book buffer time in appointments to accommodate discussion & small adjustments.

Ultimately if it came down to it and you didn’t love the drawing, we don’t have to tattoo it. It may mean rescheduling & or a partial or full deposit forfeit to compensate my time. This is why I put so much time into my consult process.

I do need to be made aware of changes you wish to make to your concept at least a week prior to the appointment. You can contact me via email, or by text. Everyone who books with me gets my phone number for easy contact. Again, I am more than happy to make small design adjustments together at the appointment! But if, after we consult, your idea changes, let me know asap, and we will communicate and adjust accordingly.


Deposit-Cancellation-Reschedule Policies

This is a summary of the deposit policy you will be required to view & sign when you book an appointment with me.

When it comes down to it, I’m a very understanding person. I ask just ask for clear communication.

-All Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE (no exceptions) and must be paid before an appointment will be booked.

-Amount of Deposit will depend on estimated cost of the tattoo & number of sessions booked.

-The Deposit will come off the final cost/session of the tattoo.

-Artwork will NOT be sent via electronic devices and will be shown at the appointment.

THE FOLLOWING WILL RESULT IN FORFEIT OF YOUR DEPOSIT:

-No Call No Show
-Tardiness of more than 15 minutes
-Damaged skin (cuts, bruises, sunburn, etc)
-Rescheduling more than 2 times
-Deposits are valid for 60 days past when they are paid
-Reschedules must be made within 30 days of original appointment

Sickness & Damaged Skin
- I understand that I am to contact my artist as soon as possible if I am sick. I understand my artist will NOT tattoo me if I show up sick and that failing to notify my artist of sickness may result in partial or full deposit loss. This applies to damaged skin of the area to be tattooed as well. If I have any cuts, bruises, sunburn etc in the area to be tattooed, I will inform my artist prior to the appointment time.
