I offer free in person and video consultations, touch ups and color tests at your request.

My rates are based on design complexity, size, placement, style, color, etc. My minimum is $175 unless there’s a special promotion available or we had agreed on another quote. If you're working with a budget please let me know beforehand and I'll try my best to work with you.

Designs I have already tattooed on another person (unless specified as 'repeatable')

-Wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching a fresh tattoo

-When using second skin, keep it on for 3-5 days. Exceptions are if the second skin is peeling, sweat builds up underneath or your skin is reacting poorly to it.

-When removing second skin, peel slowly, stretch the skin and pull back, do not pull upwards away from skin (same as a command strip)

-Wash area twice daily with antibacterial fragrance free soap and let air dry

-DO NOT scrub the tattoo when washing, wash gently.

-After washing apply a thin, even coat of unscented water based lotion. Avoid aquaphor because it will leave the area sticky and prone to harboring bacteria

-DO NOT re-bandage.

-DO NOT pick at or itch/scratch your tattoo.

-DO NOT soak tattoo in water, or submerge it for at least 2 weeks. Avoid baths, pools, beach, etc.

-Avoid sun exposure, start wearing SPF after 2 weeks of healing.

-Avoid working out or heavy exercises for a few days after your appointment.

-Drink plenty of water during healing to keep the skin hydrated.

-Wait 6 weeks for any touch ups or follow up appointments to ensure the area is fully healed.

Enjoy your new tattoo!

Life happens! If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment please let me know 72 hours in advance. Reschedules and cancellations within 72 hours are handled on a case to case basis, please contact me as soon as possible to avoid losing your deposit. No shows without notice will forfeit their deposit.

Please note: I know times are difficult for all, but if you reschedule multiple times I will need a new deposit as I might not be able to fill those spots.

I start designing 1-3 days before the appointment. I will not send drawings before the appointment. You will see them day of and any small changes can be made there. If you're nervous about not seeing the design beforehand we can set up a consultation to make sure I understand your idea. If I have any questions I will reach out to you to get clarification.

Please take your time to ensure I am the artist for you and that you fully trust me with your idea. Examples of my work can be seen on my instagram or the gallery page.

If you’d like to make small changes to the design, I am absolutely okay with that and you will be able to do so during your appointment. If you are thinking of changing your idea entirely please let me know at least 72 in advance. It is important to me that you are 100% happy with the final design,

Please keep in mind if you need me to redraw the design completely we will need to reschedule and an hourly fee may apply as my time is important to me.

Yes, I do, but they require an in person consultation. I only take reworks and coverups that I am completely comfortable with.

Bring your I.D. and charge your phone. Make sure you get a full night’s rest, drink plenty of water and eat an entire meal before your appointment. I would advise against drinking alcohol or using THC or substances for 24 hours before the appointment.

Bring a sugary drink and a snack/meal. I recommend bringing a blanket, phone charger, and headphones for long sessions. Anything that will make you feel comfortable and help you relax is welcomed.

Eating/hydrating yourself is by far the most important step in preparing for the tattoo process. I promise it does make a difference!

Please avoid any whites or light colors that would be easily stained by ink. Wear something that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Prioritize comfort and accessibility.

For back, chest and stomach tattoos, some good options are button down shirts, bikini tops and zip up hoodies.

Bringing a family member or friend can be one of the best ways to make the experience more fun and comfortable for you. However, because space is limited only 1 additional person can accompany you.

You can pay with cash, Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, credit card, debit card, apple pay, or afterpay at the studio after your session.

Tipping is greatly appreciated!

No. I only tattoo people over the age of 18. In the state of NC it is illegal to tattoo minors even with a parent’s consent. There are no exceptions to this law.

No, I only tattoo at my studio. for piercings in Charlotte I always suggest going to Sadu.

I am fully licensed and insured.
