My rate is $200/hr, with a daily maximum of $1200—no matter how late we go, the cost won’t exceed $1200.

What days do you tattoo?
I usually tattoo Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12–6 PM. If you’re traveling or need a different time, we can work something out.

What if it’s too painful to sit all day?
I use Bactine to help manage pain, and most clients can sit for up to 6 hours comfortably. We’ll take breaks as needed, but if it gets too intense, we’ll find a stopping point and continue another day.

The rate includes the tattoo, pain management (Bactine), snacks, drinks, aftercare dressing, and ointment.

When will I see my drawing?
I’ll send you the drawing the week before your appointment so we have time to make changes if needed.
