Booking

please read the information below before submitting a booking request:

  • ✼You must be 18+ to book with me

    ✼Please show up to your appointment on time!!! When you’re late it throws off my schedule. I try to be accommodating for things that are out of your control, but if you are more than 30 minutes late it will require us to reschedule and you will have to pay a second deposit.

    ✼Most of my pieces take between 1 and 4 hours to complete, depending on size and complexity. I will give you an estimate of how long your piece will take but please do not schedule anything immediately after the tattoo as there are other factors besides the actual tattooing that impact appointment time (stencil placement, pain management, etc).

    ✼I require a €£$50 non refundable deposit to confirm your booking, paid when you book through calendly

  • ✼ FLASH:

    ⁑ pre-existing designs, repeatable twice and able to be modified.

    ✼ CUSTOM

    ⁑ custom drawings based on reference imagery. I’m excited about custom rocks, textures, plants, decaying forms, seaweed/grass, watery forms. While I’d love to be able to take on all custom projects, I am limited by my skill and aesthetic tendencies. If I am not excited by the project or do not feel like I’m the best person to execute it, I’m more than happy to point you to artists I think might be a good fit. I always send concept sketches for you to choose from. I make a final drawing that I send you a day or two before our session. We always go over custom work in session to make sure everything is exactly as you want it. I value your input and feedback!

    ✼ DRAWN IN SESSION

    ⁑ best for customized compositions in pre-existing styles, freehand work, or compositions based on abstract textures and materials.

    SHADOW PLAY

    ⁑ we cast shadows on your skin (or paper) using an object of your or my collection to find a composition, modifying the design in procreate as needed. Optional -15 minutes at the beginning of the session to set intentions for the integration of shadows.

  • ✴I do not price my pieces hourly. I ask your budget in my booking form and then let you know what is possible. I provide quotes over email and we discuss everything in the appointment prior to tattooing to make sure we’re on the same page.

    ✴I estimate my quotes based on an hourly rate of around $150-170/hour. my minimum is $200 for flash and flash modification, and $400 for drawn in session (unless it is a very simple drawing process).

    I offer 2 reduced rate tattoos a month to a QTBIPOC. please reach out!

  • ✼ I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and occasionally travel to LA, NYC, and London

  • ✼ I practice trauma-informed tattooing, which to me, means that the container is attuned to the specific needs of the client. We discuss consent, communication and accessibility needs at the beginning of the session. We continuously check in throughout the process to ensure you’re feeling safe and comfortable. I strongly support my clients in advocating for themselves, and sensing into their intuition and boundaries. I see the tattooing container as such an exciting place to practice consent and boundary work!

    ✼ The studio I currently work from in SF is wheelchair accessible

  • ✼ I do not work smaller than 2/3 inches and prefer to work bigger. This gives your tattoo more room to age over time!

    ✼ I do not do line-heavy work on the ribs, lower stomach, collarbones, inner arm, or inner thigh.

    ✼ I will not tattoo words, portraits, hate symbols, or guns.

    ✼ While I value the casual kind of processing that can take place in the tattoo container, and understand the emotional intensity of pain, please understand that I am not and do not want to be treated as a therapist or emotional support person during or after the tattoo session.

    ✼ Please show up on time, hydrated, rested, moisturized, not sunburnt or hungover, prepared to voice your needs and opinions.

  • ✼Beyond creating skillfully executed adornment, I see my role as a tattooer as supporting people’s intuitions and assertion of bodily autonomy. I do my best to hold the container of tattooing with an attentiveness to the power implicit in the exchange and the specificity of the client’s experience and identities. I bring my commitments to curiosity as a form of magic; to uncertainty as a generative space for healing and transformation; to the role of joy in building collective autonomy and resilience; and to providing a safe, comfortable, and consent-driven tattoo experience that allows you to experience your fullness in whatever way feels right for you. I am always available for feedback on how your session went, which can be sent via email or annonymous feedback form.

  • ✼ I am always interested in collaborating with artists, musicians, writers, performers on experimental tattoo and non-tattoo related projects related to improvisation, geologic metaphors, ritual and devotional acts, texture foraging, walking, noticing, looking closely, finding new ways of seeing. please reach out if you would like to chat about experimenting together :)

I look forward to meeting and working with you!
