✺ All appointments require a $50 deposit to book.

Custom spaces are limited, and the booking process is more in depth than a flash booking. I am becoming more selective
about which custom projects I take on each round to reflect what I am most passionate about. It’s important that I feel confident in offering you the best tattoo experience I can. If I believe another artist would be a better fit for your custom, I will let you know and give my recommendation.

✺ I charge a drawing fee (starting at $50) for each custom tattoo. This amount will not be deducted from your tattoo total.

✺ Once a custom project has been accepted, it will be added to my queue. Custom clients will receive an approximate date to a expect a draft of their piece. From there, I offer one redraw or ‘tweak’ of the design before I send a final draft.

✺ If further edits are required, an additional drawing fee may be charged.

✺ To streamline this process, I ask clients to be as clear as possible in their request. Do make sure to include references from my portfolio, and try to avoid
sending images done by other artists. I do not copy the work of other tattooers and am focusing on my own niche.

✺ Once a design is a finalized, a booking link will be sent and the appointment can be booked. A $50 booking deposit is required for each appointment - This amount will be deducted from the tattoo total upon completion.

✺ All Deposits and Drawing Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

✺ I encourage all custom clients book either an in-person or zoom consultation, especially if it is our first time working together.

For each event, I’ll offer a special selection of flash pieces. These will be available at a set price and size for the event day.

On a flash day, pieces average 10 centimetres or smaller and are restricted to arm & leg placements.

All appointments are pre-booked online.

All Flash is limited repeatable (3x) so many pieces will added to my flash gallery and made available at regular rates after the event.
