Tattoo Inquiry Form

***If you're inquiring custom work, please be as descriptive as possible in what you're looking to create together. Also, please make sure to include the sizing and placement information.***

Things to Know

  • Deposit: I require a $100 deposit to book a appointment. This deposit is subtracted from the final cost of the tattoo. The deposit is nonrefundable.

  • Custom Drawing Fee: I require a $75 fee to create your custom design. If you cancel your appointment prior to art being created, your drawing fee will be refunded.

    • This fee includes an initial mock up and ONE additional revised draft. If additional drafts are requested, additional drawing fees will be required.

    • The mock up will be the line work representing the basic composition. Shading, detailing, and color work (if applicable) will be done at our appointment. Color choices will be made together, talking through the colored inks I have on hand in the studio (I have a lot!).

    • I will have the first draft 1-3 weeks prior to our scheduled appointment. When you receive a draft, try to respond with any and all updates you have in mind so that they can be incorporated into your one revised design. Final sizing and placement will be figured out at our appointment, as part of the stencil application process.

    • Priority will always be given to clients who want to collaborate on sleeves, half sleeves, thigh pieces and content that conforms thematically to my previous works.

    • I am not accepting lettering/script tattoos. There’s a lot of great lettering artists all around Portland, and I’m not one of them.

    • If for whatever reason you have to cancel our appointment, but I have a design drawn, your design fee will not be refunded and the design may be made available to other clients.

  • Tattooing

    • $180/hour (3 hour minimum)

    • $900/day (for up to 8 hours of tattoo work)

    • My rates are calculated per hour, unless we work through the fifth hour, at which time I consider the appointment a Day Rate booking and no longer charge for any remaining time. So if you can sit through hours 6, 7, and 8, it’s essentially already paid for. My intent here is to incentivize my clients to do larger or more detailed pieces and take advantage of doing longer sessions. So appointments will cost between $540 (3 hour minimum) - $900 (Day Rate) and your $100 deposit will then be subtracted from the final cost.

    • Payment Methods

      • Cash, Credit, & Debit are accepted.

    • I am exclusively using World Famous Tattoo Ink. It’s the best tattoo ink on the market, complies with all US and EU laws, and is 100% vegan.

  • Touch Ups:

    • One Touch up appointment is included per tattoo and is completely free! If after a month, you notice the tattoo didn’t heal to your liking, reach out and I’ll fix it in a jiffy.

    • Once you are past a year from the last appointment of the tattoo in question, any touch ups are no longer free and continued work will be completed at the hourly or day rates. Please note, if the pandemic caused you to miss this window, or if you’re unable to easily return to the studio (due to living far away) the free touch up will still be honored.

    • My touch up appointments are limited to Monday’s, unless we have an appointment for new work on a Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday, where I can touch it up as part of that appointment.

  • Cancellation Policy

    • You may cancel/reschedule your tattoo up to 48 hours prior to your appointment. If you cancel/reschedule thereafter, or no-show the day of, your deposit and design is forfeited.

    • To reschedule, please see your original booking confirmation email, which will have a link to view and reschedule your appointment. There is a saved story on my Instagram Profile that will have step by step instructions.

    • You may not reschedule more than once. If you do so, the appointment will be cancelled and your deposit and design will be forfeited. Depending on the nature of the design, the tattoo may be made available to the public.

  • Location

    • 6529 NE Sandy Blvd. Suite 103 Portland, OR 97213

      • I’m the shimmering glass door directly to the RIGHT of the yoga studio as you approach the building.

    • Parking is available on Sandy and also on either 65th or 66th between Sandy and Klickitat.

  • Instructions for your appointment

    • Please note that as you approach my building, I'm the shimmering glass door on the right with "103," in black lettering, on the upper corner door.

    • Masks are required in the studio and must be worn during our session. I have KN95 masks available for you if you don’t have one.

    • You may bring one guest with you to your appointment, who must also be masked.

    • Please arrive rested, clean, fed, and hydrated. Bringing snacks and a reusable water bottle is a good idea, especially if we’re doing a long session. There’s a Safeway a few blocks away, if you’d like to pick up necessities on your way to the studio.

    • There’s no need to arrive early. Though, if you are going to be more than 15 minutes late, please reach out and let me know. At 20 minutes past our appointment, the appointment is considered a no-show, your deposit is forfeited, and I will no longer be at the studio.

    • Please wear (or bring) clothes that allow unobstructed access to the tattoo area. For example, if you’re getting an upper arm tattoo, please don’t wear a garment with sleeves.

    • I have a television in my studio space that I stream Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, or Youtube on. However, if you’d like to bring a book or earbuds to find your center inwards, please feel free to do so.
