All bookings are handled through the booking form on this website. Please include a clear description of your idea, placement, approximate size, and your general availability.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. Deposit amounts vary depending on the size and scope of the project and are applied toward the final cost of the tattoo. Deposits confirm your commitment and reserve time exclusively for your session.

Most work is priced by the piece, based on size, placement, and complexity. For large-scale projects that require multiple sessions, the first session is a flat rate. Any additional sessions are billed at $150/hour. All details are discussed and confirmed during the booking process

If you are more than 20 minutes late, you risk forfeiting your appointment and/or your deposit. Please be considerate of other clients scheduled that day.

Deposits are held for up to 6 months and may be transferred to a rescheduled appointment for the same client, provided sufficient notice is given. Deposits are not transferable between clients. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows will result in a forfeited deposit.

Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to cancel, reschedule, or are running late. Time-based policies may be flexible in cases of serious emergency, as long as there is clear communication. All appointments are scheduled in advance, so timely communication is essential.

Payment can be made via cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App. Debit and credit card payments are also accepted through invoice.

Third-party payment plans are available through PayPal (Afterpay) or Klarna, which may require a credit check and an initial payment. Eligibility is determined by the provider, and payment plans must be approved prior to the start of your session.

Please note that these are third-party services, and I am not responsible for their approval process or terms. All payments are final and non-refundable.

Please arrive well-rested, having eaten a full meal and properly hydrated. Do not consume alcohol or drugs prior to your appointment—this is important for your safety and the quality of the work.

To help maintain a calm and controlled environment, guests are limited to one additional person.

Tattoo longevity can vary depending on placement, skin type, and daily wear. Some tattoos—especially those using softer grays—may heal lighter and benefit from an additional pass if you’d like the piece darker.

If you’re interested in a touch-up, please submit the Touch-Up Request Form linked below. You may also contact me directly via text or email with the subject line “Touch-Up.”

I’m based in New Jersey and work from a private studio. The exact address is shared after booking. The studio is about 10–15 minutes from New York City and accessible by bus—let me know if you need help getting here.

If you’re traveling from out of state, please mention this when booking so accommodations can be made if needed. Large-scale projects may require multiple sessions, which could involve return visits.

Respect and clear communication are essential. I won’t tolerate disrespect of any kind, and I ask that all clients communicate openly if changes or concerns come up—tattoos are permanent, and transparency matters.

I do my best to show up well-rested and fully present for every session. Occasionally, sessions may run longer than expected, which can result in a slight delay or, in rare cases, the need to reschedule if I’m not feeling well. This is a one-person operation, and I appreciate patience and understanding in those situations, just as I extend flexibility in cases of emergency on the client’s end.

If you’re feeling unwell, please do not come to your appointment. We can reschedule without issue. Arriving sick may result in being asked to leave and risking your deposit, as illness can significantly disrupt scheduling. Mutual consideration helps keep the process smooth for everyone.
