FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
“When do your books open?”
Booking Date: 05.24.2026
Current Status: CLOSED
Most large scale projects are continuous throughout the year and take priority with scheduling.
The progress of projects determine the frequency of each booking period.
I hope to anticipate reopening books for new projects in May to schedule for June through December 2026 appointments.
“What is your rate?”
My hourly rate is $200 per hour.
Large projects initially start at a full day session to allow time for stencil preparation and line work execution.
Follow up duration of sessions are flexible at your level of comfort.
“What projects are you looking to take on?”
Dark Illustrative
Dark Organic Flow
Anything Botanical
Geometric Patterns and Mandalas
“Do you offer in person consultations?”
After submitting your booking request, you may select if you’re looking for a more in depth consultation.
If your project is selected, I am open to discussing more details in preparation for the project.
“Can I bring guests?”
I prefer you come alone to your session.
Additional guests can often be distracting to the process, and to surrounding artists and clients.
Under certain circumstances (traveling clients) I will allow guests to hangout in our front lounge area, but not within the station due to limited space.
“Can I see my design in advance?”
I do not share designs prior to the appointment date.
I will share the completed design with you on the day of the appointment, and if any changes are wanted, we can work on them together in person.
If extensive changes are requested, a rescheduled appointment may be necessary.
“Can I get tattooed if I’m under 18?”
I will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.
“Can I use numbing creams?”
Please do not use any numbing products for any initial start of a project.
The duration and effects vary, and the beginning process for a project has an indefinite timeframe. (Design Refinement, Stencil Preparation, Application, and finalized marking adjustments)
As long as the line work foundation has been established for the piece, numbing creams may be allowed.
A TEST patch on the skin must be applied BEFORE the appointment to ensure no skin reactions occur, and discuss with me prior before planning to use anything.
“Can I book an appointment for someone else?”
Unfortunately no, due to the amount of personal information and reference images, I need the individual inquiring about a piece to submit a personal request for their own idea.
