There are now 2 options for getting tattooed:

For small projects (about half the size of a sheet of paper, or smaller) you may book through the Easy Access Calendar. I have added in some small windows for these projects that will show availabilities within the next few months.

For medium to large projects, I use a Submission Form for intake and review. This calendar books in the 9-12 months range. I am open to your ideas to inspire my work. If your submission is chosen I will email you within a week or so with follow up instructions. Please, be ready to pay your $300 non-refundable deposit.

​I require a $300 non-refundable deposit before calendar access is granted. Once you project has been chosen I will email you an invoice. While deposits are always non-refundable, they do not expire. A new deposit must be paid for each new piece. Deposits are applied to the total cost upon completion of your tattoo.

No. I operate all aspects of my business, which makes it very difficult to be available for phone calls. Consultations are scheduled after your deposit has been paid. The Submission Form is set up so you can share your tattoo concept when I am available to read your proposals. We will discuss your tattoo concept over the phone 2 weeks before your tattoo appointment.

No. I am available by appointment only, but the Easy Access appointments provide an expedited booking for smaller walk-in style peices. The building is secure and some instructions are required for entry.

For medium to large scale projects, my schedule is typically booked out 9 to 12 months. This is because I will not book anything farther than 1 year out due to complications with life planning that far out. When I open the books we are normally booking starting in the 9 month range. So, if it is January, we are likely booking projects that will begin in September-December.

I do not keep a waitlist. I only accept enough projects to book a few months at a time. I tried a waitlist in the past, but people were waiting years to get in. This system is a much more efficient system.

You may send an email with what you are wanting to get done and I will get back to you with instructions on how to proceed. Usually, I will provide you with the next booking window dates to have you send in a submission at that time. Signing up for any of the Newsletters is the best way to stay up to date.

The Submission Form is only available while the books are open. It will be clearly posted here on the website. You may sign up for the Newsletter to receive a direct notification when it becomes available. The Newsletter will contain a direct link to the Submission Form on the Contact page. When the books are closed you will not find any access to the Form, but there is another option to submit a request outside of the normal booking window.

​If proper notice is given, we will default to your following appointment and another appointment will be added to the end of your appointment series. The same policy will be upheld in the case that I need to cancel because I am not well. We will not be adding in another appointment, as it disrupts the flow of the schedule. It puts too much stress on the immune system to tattoo you while you are sick, as well as putting others at risk for getting sick.

For example- If your March appointment is cancelled, your next appointment will be your April appointment. We will then add another date to the end of your appointment series. If you only had one appointment then I will send you a link to my "Cancellations Calendar" so you can find a new appointment.

48 hours notice is required for cancelling or rescheduling your appointments. Please, email or text if you are unable to attend your tattoo appointment. Failure to comply with the cancellation policy will result in the cancellation of all subsequent appointments, your deposit will be dissolved, and a new deposit will be required before making further appointments.

You are always welcome to try again in the next booking round. The two most common reasons a project may not be chosen:

A. Content that does not fit my esthetic- My portfolio should be a good representation of the kind of content I enjoy making.

B. An inadequate budget- If you need some help with understanding tattoo cost, there’s lots more info available in the Memberships. Great tattoos are not cheap. I work very hard to bring you tattoos with longevity and integrity.

Consultations need to be fairly close to your tattoo appointment so that your idea is fresh in my mind. I use the 2 weeks preceding your tattoo to consider your concept, look at references, and cultivate a design concept. This process has taken years to perfect, and it is the most efficient way to bring you an authentically inspired design, and for me to manage my illustrative work load. I am never contemplating more than a few people's designs concurrently, even though I am managing hundreds of tattoos annually.

You are welcome to bring a respectful guest to your appointment as a support buddy. Please, ask your guest to bring some form of quiet entertainment if they intend to be there for the duration of the event. If they are interested in trying to schedule an appointment with me, please direct them to this website. The tattoo studio is not a great place for children, and I do request that kiddos be left at home.

My portfolio should be a good indication of the work I enjoy doing. I like designing nature based content. Some of the common imagery you will see in my work, are flowers (of any kind), foliage, tree branches, seed pods, buds, animals, birds, skulls, sea creatures, shells, crystals, and mostly anything from the natural world. I am rather particular to the Pacific Northwest.

I do not make any kind of lettering, "hidden" or blatant. Please, do not ask. I do not enjoy designing lettering and I feel that it creates a visual distraction to my illustrations. There are plenty of great tattoo artists in this area that are happy to do lettering. If a request includes lettering or dates, I will probably decline the project.

Yes! There is a topical lidocaine gel (or cream) available at Hush Anesthetics that can be applied 90 minutes before your appointment. You are responsible for purchasing and applying this gel according to their instructions. It is important that you apply the gel very thick, and cover it with plastic wrap for it to work properly. This may offer you an hour or so of reduced sensation, which could extend your pain tolerance range.

I complete drawings in the order of appointments. Clients will receive an email with a line drawing the evening before, or the morning of their appointment. I am more focused and attentive in the morning, and I like to pull together final assessments and details earlier in the day. If you have not received your drawing yet, then I am most likely still working on it.

You may request changes, and I will take them into consideration. If the requested changes are minor it can usually be easily adjusted during your appointment.

If major design changes are required then it is likely that we will need to fall back on your next scheduled appointment, and I may request a $300 drawing fee to help cover some of the cost of the cancellation.

Taking care of your body the week of your tattoo appointment will help in the healing process. Drink plenty of water and get a good night's sleep the night before your appointment. Make sure to eat something before you come in. If you are not a breakfast person, bring a snack for when you do get hungry. Bring a water bottle and some snacks, particularly if you are doing a full day appointment.

Be kind to your body, your immune system needs some extra care to heal. Plan on taking it easy for a few days after your appointment. If you exercise regularly, light exercise is fine. Drink plenty of water. Taking some vitamin C and probiotics can also assist the healing process. You may take some ibuprofen to reduce swelling and inflammation on the day of the appointment.

A complete aftercare sheet will be emailed to you after your appointment. The most important part of healing your tattoo is keeping it clean and not handling it during the healing process. Your tattoo should finish bleeding before you leave the studio, but it will continue to express lymph fluid for a few hours, or up to a few days. While your tattoo is still expressing lymph it is very important that you continue to wash it regularly. Once your tattoo has stopped weeping you may apply a light layer of unscented lotion or coconut oil. Whatever you choose to moisturize with, be sure to massage it all the way into your skin. It should not be shiny or greasy on the surface.

No. Your hands and feet are the farthest away from your heart, so they take a little longer to heal. Make sure to take a couple of days off of work and exercise to heal them. You can expect an extra phase of healing after it has flaked. The tattoo will look somewhat "milky". After a few days the color will return and your tattoo will look fancy and new.

Because we are living creatures, we are exposed to bacteria during the healing process. Sometimes our immune systems are not able to heal things as nicely as we'd like. That's a perfectly normal part of the healing process. Taking care of yourself while you are healing will help you heal better and more quickly. But in the case that you lose a part of your new tattoo, a touch-up is an option within the first year, and they are usually very short appointments. Touch-ups are for any fallout that happens during the initial healing process. Anything after that is considered normal settling and fading. Your tattoo will look softer over time. If things are significantly faded we may consider a rework to brighten it up so it looks new again. I charge $100 hourly for reworks (my work only, reworking anyone else's designs will be charged the normal hourly rate). A rework will generally go much faster than the original appointment, since it is likely that we are only reapplying the lighter, warmer colors. Needing to rework black or grey is very uncommon.
