Bookings

Thank you so much for your interest in getting tattooed by me.
I look forward to hearing about your ideas and will get back to you as soon as possible.
Before we begin, please take a moment to read the following information carefully.

Please allow up to a week and a half for a response before following up.
I do my best to reply quickly, but as a small, independent operation, response times can vary depending on workload, family life, and travel.

I do not duplicate or copy other artists’ work.
All of my tattoos are original designs unless otherwise specified.

Submitting a request is an application, not an automatic booking.
I do my best to accommodate as many people as possible, but I may decline a project if it falls outside my current focus or artistic direction.
This is never personal — my goal is to ensure that every client receives the best possible tattoo experience, with work that aligns with my style and vision.

A $300 deposit is required for all tattoos.
For large-scale or highly customized projects such as sleeves or backpieces, I may request a $500 deposit.

Deposits secure your spot in my schedule and are non-refundable, as they protect the time and effort spent designing and preparing for your session.
Your deposit will be applied toward the final cost of your tattoo — either at your last session or once the work is completed.

At the end of each session, I accept cash or card.
Please note:

• Cash is preferred (faster and easier).

• Card payments include a 5% processing fee.

I understand that life happens.
If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 72 hours’ notice before your appointment.
This allows me to transfer your deposit to a new date.

Deposits are valid for six months from the date of payment, and it’s your responsibility to complete your appointment within that time frame.

If you are more than 30 minutes late without prior communication, or if you arrive with major design changes that differ from what we discussed, I reserve the right to forfeit your deposit.

Cancellations or reschedules made within 72 hours of the appointment will result in a forfeited deposit, and a new deposit will be required to book again.
Even with notice, cancellations often result in time, design work, and income lost — thank you for your understanding.

California state law requires that all clients be 18 years or older — no exceptions.
Please bring a valid government-issued ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) showing your photo, name, and date of birth.
Failure to present valid ID may result in rescheduling and potential loss of deposit.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through these details.
Understanding these policies helps ensure we can both focus on what matters most — creating a meaningful, timeless tattoo that you’ll wear for life.
