Frequently Asked Questions + Helpful Information
What Projects Are You Excited About?
I’m especially drawn to medium to large-scale tattoos that blend botanical, naturalistic, and scientific themes. Some of my favorite ideas involve animals in various stages of decay with mushrooms and flowers growing from them, animal skulls paired with botanical dissection-style details, mythical creatures from different cultures, and deconstructed food dishes that carry personal or cultural meaning.
I have recently opened up to doing flash tattoos, and smaller tattoos to accommodate all client budgets. I am excited to see what we can create together!
If your idea aligns with my style, I’d love to hear about it. You can also check out my “Inspiration For You” page for more ideas.
One-Session Tattoos / Flash FAQ -
What size are your one-session or flash tattoos?
All designs are intended to be completed in a single session, and are sized to fit around the size of the palm of your hand—this can be slightly smaller or larger depending on the design. As a guideline, pieces generally fall within the 4x6 inch, 5x7 inch, or 6x8 range.
How much do they cost?
Pricing for one-session tattoos range from $400 to $700, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Simpler or smaller pieces tend to be on the lower end, while more intricate designs will fall closer to the higher end.
Are the designs repeatable or one-of-a-kind?
All flash is repeatable, and all custom pieces of flash will be one-off designs.
Custom Tattoo FAQ -
Can I request a custom design?
Yes, I offer custom tattoos of any size — small, medium, or large.
What kinds of ideas do you take on?
Custom designs should be mostly botanical in nature or similar to tattoos I’ve done before. Please take a look at the “Inspiration For You” section to get a feel for the kind of work I enjoy creating.
Can I suggest something different?
Definitely. If you have an idea you’re unsure about, include it in your booking form. If it fits my style or sparks inspiration, I may be happy to take it on.
How much do they cost?
My custom tattoo rate is for pieces that are multiple sessions is $250 per hour. I will give a you a flat rate for flash. Large sessions typically go for 4-5 hours per session.

These pieces are designed to cover a larger area, such as the top or bottom half of a limb (arm or leg). Designs can be slightly larger or smaller depending on your vision and body placement.

These are large-scale pieces that cover major areas like a full arm, large portion of a leg, or expansive back or chest designs. These projects are ideal for clients looking to invest in detailed, bold, and highly custom work.

The number of sessions depends on your design, size, and skin—some projects wrap up in four sessions, while others may be ongoing over time. Most end up being five sessions. We’ll discuss expectations during your email consultation and adjust as needed.
Booking Process -
How do I book an appointment?
When my books are open, submit a proposal through the booking form.
What happens after I submit my request?
Once we have chatted and figured out what the vision is, I’ll send you a scheduling link to choose your session date.
How should I schedule my sessions?
If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, please schedule them at least one month apart, but no more than two months apart.
Is there a deposit?
Yes — there is a $100 non-refundable scheduling fee per session. This fee does not go toward the cost of your tattoo. This fee is basically a “here is a payment to let you know I’m showing up for my appointment.”
What’s next?
My scheduling link should link up to your google calendar, then all you have to do is show up for your appointment — and get a beautiful tattoo!
For Your Appointment -
When should I arrive?
All appointments begin at 1 PM. The address will be given on my booking form acceptance email, and on your scheduling calendar date. Please do not arrive early, as I use the time beforehand to prepare. If you need a different start time, let me know in your booking form.
Can I bring a guest?
No — please come alone to your appointment to help keep the space calm and focused.
How should I prepare?
PLEASE eat a full meal beforehand, and stay hydrated. You’re welcome to bring snacks, headphones, a small pillow, or a blanket — just be sure anything you bring is clean. I want you to be as comfortable as possible. I know tattoos are really painful for some people, and I want your experience to be as peaceful as possible!
What if I feel nervous?
That’s totally normal. It’s okay to feel a little anxious, I am way funnier, and more personable in person, and I’ll do my best to make you feel supported during the process.
Do you accept tips?
Tips are amazing, and graciously accepted. However, please do not stress over having to leave a large tip, as tattoos are already and investment. Most tips go towards supplies, food, and operating costs.
Other Helpful Info -
Will I see my design before the appointment?
No, unless its pre-designed flash of mine that you’ve selected. But we’ll talk through your ideas ahead of time to make sure your vision is fully understood. If you connect with my past work, you can trust I’ll make you something mind-blowing, as I am a perfectionist, and a try hard.
What should I wear?
Neutral, comfortable clothing is best — avoid bright colors or busy patterns. Wear shoes you can stand or walk in comfortably.
What placements do you love tattooing?
I especially enjoy working on the chest, shoulders, forearms, shoulder blades, hips, legs, and full sleeves.
Do you tattoo over scars?
Yes! I love tattooing over scars, including surgery scars, and healed self-harm scars.
What don’t you tattoo?
I don’t tattoo ribs, necks, or feet — and I won’t tattoo anything offensive or discriminatory in nature.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on your booking form. I will be happy to answer!
