To book an appointment, you can use the online booking system on the website, or contact me directly via email or phone. I recommend scheduling a consultation first to discuss your tattoo idea and get a quote.
At this time I am appointment only.
After your tattoo session, I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you’ll need to keep the tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected from direct sunlight. Avoid swimming, soaking the tattoo, or exposing it to dirty environments during the healing process, which typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Tattoo prices vary depending on the size, complexity, and placement of the design. We charge an hourly rate for larger pieces and have a minimum charge for smaller tattoos. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your specific tattoo idea.
I prioritize safety and hygiene. I use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict sanitation protocols. I am licensed and trained in bloodborne pathogens. However, as with any body modification, there are some risks involved, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Before your tattoo session, make sure to eat a good meal, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. If you’re feeling unwell, please reschedule your appointment.
For tattoos under $500 Cash is preferred. There is a nearby ATM for your convenience.
Yes, I offer cover-up services for existing tattoos. However I take these on a case by case basis. I do not offer tattoo removal services.

I welcome both custom designs and client-provided artwork. I work with you to refine and adapt your ideas to create a unique, personalized tattoo. I also offer full custom design services if you prefer a completely original piece.
Though I know you may want to share this moment with these members of your family, I ask that they are left at home or in the care of someone you trust. I try to eliminate any distractions that might deter us from reaching the best outcome while tattooing you.
