Tattoo Offerings
Beyond flash (pre-drawn designs) I offer many collaborative sessions (“drawn in session”) to co-create a tattoo design together. There are a few formats that allow for varying degrees of your involvement in the process. Each session requires trust in the process and in me; willingness to be in the evolving unknown; and openness to a range of outcomes. Click each box to learn more about what each process looks like.
Pricing structure: $350 minimum (unless very small) - $200 for the first hour, $150/hour for every hour after that. Pieces that require more than 5 hours of tattooing will need to be split into 2+ sessions. I offer payment plans and 1 reduced rate session per month for QTBIPOC.
I work best with folks who have a somewhat refined vision, but are willing to adapt and respond to my aesthetic vision. I do my best to listen to what you’re saying and make design choices that are conducive to a good tattoo. If you're the kind of person who is very indecisive or has a hard time surrendering to uncertainty, drawn-in-session may not be the best session format for you! I am able to hold these states better in a flash context, when the design is already fixed and we are making small modifications to it, rather than designing from scratch.
