Suitable for individuals who have seen my work (check out my Instagram) and my creative process. The tattoo from birth to finish all happens during the session. All pieces done in my portfolio were done in this process. Trust is essential for committing to a session.

Pre-drawn designs inspired by my everyday encounters and thoughts.
Touch ups
All my tattoos come with two free touchups. Although not everyone will need a touchup, they are a great way to refresh little details that fallout over longer periods of time, offer peace of mind, and make sure you receive a guaranteed perfect tattoo (for life). The technique and needle count used in my tattoos differs from traditional tattooing. This is because I use a smaller needle count. With this, I can create extremely fine lines and details in my tattoos. However, because I am packing less ink and using a smaller needle count, less ink is ultimately being added to the skin resulting in a softer feel. During the healing process, the body tries to remove the ink as a foreign substance. While I could just pack more ink or use a larger needle count, this would come at the cost of the little details and emotion you see in my work. Too little pigmentation can be fixed, too much cannot.
​
Please note that any requests for alteration in shades and colour after a tattoo is healed count as additional work, not a touch up. Touch ups are only to restore lost pigment.
Initial Deposit
In order to confirm a booking, an initial deposit equal to $100 is required unless the the tattoo is expected to take more than one session (see the paragraph below for information on large pieces). Deposits cover the administration fee, and booking fee for all my pieces and are therefore non-refundable. Your deposit goes towards your tattoo session unless you choose to cancel. Please note that deposits for flashes and custom pieces cannot be transferred to another piece.
​
Large tattoo deposits (full sleeve, full back, leg sleeve):
​
For each session booked, the deposit will be $100. For example, if a tattoo requires 3 sessions to complete, the deposit will be $300 in 3 separate bookings. The deposit covers all the time and effort put into booking and preparing for the appointment. See my FAQ for more information.
What if I change my mind about what I want?
Not a problem. However, please let me know as soon as you make the decision that you would like to change your concept. Depending on what the new concept is, the quoted time will change accordingly. It's possible an additional session will be needed to complete the project.
Re-scheduling a booking
If you choose to reschedule a tattoo, please give at least 48 hours notice otherwise you will need to pay another deposit.
Canceling a booking
