The questions that come up most.

How does pricing work?+

I quote each piece after reading the brief. It depends on size, time, and complexity, and I'd rather give you an honest number tied to what you actually want than a public number that doesn't fit anyone.

Do you take walk-ins?+

Not anymore. The studio is small and everything I make starts with a sketch round, which means the work needs a few weeks of lead time.

How old do I have to be?+

18 or older, with valid ID at the session. Same rule applies to nail art bookings if you're getting them at the studio.

How long is a session?+

Most pieces take 90 minutes to about three hours. If we go past that, you're getting a break and probably a snack from the drawer.

Do you do touch-ups?+

One free touch-up at the three-month mark for anything tattooed at the studio, assuming you followed the aftercare card.

What aftercare should I follow?+

You'll leave with a printed card and I'll walk you through it. The short version: keep it clean, keep it moist, stay out of direct sun for two weeks, and don't pick at it no matter how badly you want to.

Can I bring a friend?+

Yes, one. The studio is small so don't bring the whole group — one quiet person is great.

Do you ship canvas paintings and drawings?+

Anywhere in the continental US, insured. International on request — write to me about it.

Can I commission something as a gift?+

Often. Custom canvas paintings and drawings work especially well as gifts. Email me — I can ship straight to the recipient with a note.
