Where are you located?

I currently work at Moon Tattoo in Austin, TX

As of now, due to many life changes, I’ll be staying in Austin

Do you do coverups?

I don’t often take on a coverup because of how light and fine my tattoos are. Most coverups require heavily saturated tattooing which just doesn’t match with my style. I do recommend laser removal prior to working with me.

Do you fix up other artists work?

I don’t mind touching up other work but if there’s a heavy outline on it, there’s not much I can do to change the tattoo.

How does your pricing work?

I mostly do half day/full day rates. A half day is $800 (under 2.5 hrs) and full day is $1600 ( up to 5 hrs)

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Deposits of $100 are required and are paid through square. An invoice will be sent via email that will allow you to pay through card.

Can I see my design before the appointment?

Designs will be available when you arrive for your appointment. We can work together in person to make any minor changes. But if you have any questions leading up to your appointment, please feel free to reach out!

Can you tattoo over scars?

Yes! the only exception are surgical scars under a year old. After a year the scar will be fully settled.

How often do your books open?

Currently, My books open 2-3 times a year and I can take on 30-50 clients each time. I will post on IG and send out an email through my mailing list about a month prior to books reopening. I receive a lot of requests so please be prepared with all the information and design ref images!

How do I contact you?

Email is always best! DM’s over IG are hard to keep track of and often usernames don’t match your name so its hard to remember who is who.

Do you do color?

I do! just not often, I prefer smaller color projects over larger color projects.

If I send you a design, will you replicate it exactly?

I get a lot of floral and other references from other artists but I will not copy their style or tattoo. Every artist is unique! If there is an illustration you like from an artist you can message them for permission and some artists have tattoo vouchers that you can purchase prior to your appointment. You can also sketch something yourself or have a friend sketch something but keep in mind there will likely be changes to make it more tattooable and to match back to my style.

What is your touch up policy?

Touch ups are free at my discretion during the first year. A touch up is just minor fixes and not a total rework or add on to your current tattoo.

What if I need to reschedule?

I try to be very flexible with reschedules and understand that things just happen. We’re living in really difficult times and try to do my best to get you back on the schedule. I do ask not to abuse this flexibility. Please only send in a tattoo proposal when you have the money saved up, rebooking can be difficult to keep track of. Rebooking the same appointment more than 3 times will result with a loss of your spot and deposit.

What subjects do you like to tattoo?

This changes A LOT! I’m still tattooing lots or florals but am trying to step back from only doing floral work. Currently, I'm prioritizing flash which you can find in my story highlights on IG. I’ll be updating my flash closer to my books reopening. Overall, I love organic concepts and surrealism!

How do I book?

Books typically open in the Spring/Fall, twice a year. A link will be made available at a specific time and date which leads to google form for you to fill out. This will be posted in my IG bio as well as sent out via the mailing list that you can sign up for on my booking page. After I go through all the requests, you will receive an email whether or not I can take on your design. This will also include how to pay a deposit and my assistant will help you book your appointment. There will no longer be consultations which give me more time to take on more clients. If you have any questions please email me :) I will however, reach out if I need more information regarding your tattoo.
