Hi! Thanks for your interest in my work. Let me start by saying welcome. Tattoos are with you forever and the artist to client experience is just as important as the ink itself. Working by appointment allows me to give every project the focus and time it deserves. My focus for my clients is a positive and calming environment and a beautiful tattoo and tattoo experience. I totally understand what it feels like to be excited about getting your new tattoo that being said I’m usually booked 4 to 6 weeks out. Please be patient and I promise it will pay off.

WHAT THE BOOKING PROCESS AND A DAY WITH ME IS LIKE.
I’ve been tattooing for over 20 years now and if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that peoples time and experience is most important. I promise to take your time and tattoo project as serious as I take my own time and Art. We all know that if there’s one thing we can’t get back it’s our time. So this is how I work.
BOOKING/ CONSULTATIONS- email me all the information about your tattoo. Location. Color black and gray. Size. And an idea of your schedule. My awesome assistant Vylet will return your message ASAP usually within 2 to 3 business days. These days I do most consultations over Email along with setting up the appointment and taking the deposits. But I am more than happy to have an in person consultation or a FaceTime/zoom consultation at your request. The integrity of your tattoo design and experience is of utmost importance.
DEPOSITS/ PAYMENTS- Deposits are an important part of my process and are taken at the time of your booking. The remainder of your session is paid the day of your appointment. Your deposit goes towards these three things.
1.) ALL of the deposit goes towards your tattoo and is deducted from your tattoo session price.
2.) The preliminary design process and all supplies needed for your project.
3.) A sign or trust and understanding. your deposit shows me that you are as serious about your project as I am about creating it. So the deposit also goes towards blocking out the time in my schedule.
DEPOSITS CAN BE PAID THROUGH - CASH, CREDIT CARD, ZELLE, VENMO, APPLE PAY
THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION PAYMENTS CAN BE PAID THROUGH - CREDIT CARD, ZELLE, VENMO, APPLE PAY, BUT CASH IS PREFERRED AND GREATLY APPRECIATED..
NOTE: All credit and debit card processing fees are added to the clients session cost.
Pricing: Half day appointments (3 hours) - $1000 (booking requires a 50% deposit)
Full day appointments (6 hours) - $2000 (booking requires a 50% deposit)
Pieces under 3 hours will be priced by size and details. (booking requires a $100 deposit)
Most of the larger pieces you see on my site are done in half or full day appointments. If you want a tattoo that doesn’t require all that time please email me and we can discuss.
TATTOO DESIGN PROCESS- I work on a lot of large scale and detail tattoos. These designs take me time to create. I typically send the Artwork to the client for review the evening before their appointment. When booking the more information you give me about your piece the better I will be at hitting that creative mark which I always strive for.
A DAY AT THE STUDIO- When you get to the studio you will find that I’m usually in a pretty pumped up mood. I love what I do and I am very passionate about my process. I provide water and some small snacks for my clients as to keep them hydrated and happy. But do feel free to bring your own beverages and snacks if you prefer as half-day appointments are up to three hours and full day appointments are six hours so it’s good to have them on hand. We will go over your design and make any changes you might want. Once the design gets the greenlight I will make a stencil and we will stick the design to your body for review. Once we both enjoy the placement it’s time for you to relax and for me to start getting creative. I typically have movies and tv shows you can pick from at the studio for your entertainment. I’ve been told many times in the past that having movies is very helpful in distracting the client and keeps them comfortable. Please feel free to bring your headphones if you prefer to zone out and just listen to music. The tattoo appointment is your time and I want you to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Once the tattoo starts I don’t take many breaks at all but of course if you need one I’m happy to take one so don’t hesitate to ask. I am here to ensure that you have an awesome time and get a beautiful piece of art that will be with you for the rest of your life.
COVER-UPS
So your friend had a party and you got some not so great tattoo work done by a guy named Snake. Now years later, or sometimes months later you regret the master piece and want it gone. Well, I’d say 40% of my clients are cover ups. I’ve been doing them a long time and know very well that each cover up takes a different unique approach to make sure it’s executed successfully. That being said please be detailed when you submit your form. Include pictures of the existing tattoo and references or ideas you may have for covering it. From there I can take a look and see what I can do for you.
Please understand that sometimes we are limited to what we can do with Pythons tattoo and sometimes there is nothing we can do. But I promise to always give it my absolute best effort
When emailing me be sure to include these things.
