Now Accepting Custom Tattoo Requests for 2025

I’m currently reviewing custom tattoo requests for appointments through the end of 2025. If you'd like a one-of-a-kind tattoo rooted in bold design and thoughtful artistry, now is the time to submit your idea!

Throughout July, I’ll be inviting select clients to book consultations for the projects that best align with my current interests. Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly—don’t wait!

How to Submit a Custom Tattoo Request

When my books are open, I receive far more requests than I can accept—so please read the following carefully before submitting your idea.

I’m most likely to take on projects that:

  • Are focused around one strong idea (e.g., a blue heron in a misty landscape, a blooming peony, a celestial-themed snake)

  • Allow for some creative freedom in how the design is interpreted and executed

  • Are medium to large in scale (generally minimum of hand-sized, to much larger)

  • Feature subjects I love tattooing: flora, fauna, natural elements, visual illusions or hidden imagery, and subtle storytelling

  • Embrace thematic landscapes rather than specific ones–I’m drawn to scenes that suggest a region or mood (like a misty, mountainous PNW-inspired setting) rather than requests to depict a specific mountain range, coastline, or viewpoint.

I’m less likely to take on requests that:

  • Try to combine many different symbols or references into one design

  • Require me to replicate another artist’s work

  • Include script, quotes, or lettering

  • Are hyper-personal, ultra-specific puzzles (e.g., I want a lion wearing a crown and rosary beads, with my mom’s signature on her birth flower, and a clock stopped at my brother’s birth time)

  • Depict specific landmarks/landscapes (e.g., I want the Olympic mountains and Puget Sound)

  • Are small, minimal, or intended to “just get something quick”

  • Add to a previously existing tattoo

  • Require coverup of a previously existing tattoo

  • Ask for literal geographic accuracy– for example, I won’t create a tattoo of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound as seen from a specific vantage point, but I’m happy to design a moody, mountain-and-water composition in a PNW spirit.

When you send your request, please include:

  • A clear description of your idea (keep it concise and focused—what’s the main subject or theme?)

  • Placement on the body

  • Approximate size

  • Any reference photos (optional but helpful—especially if you’re showing me mood or aesthetic, rather than specific designs–or if you want to show me the area you’d like to have tattooed)

If your idea aligns well with my style and current interests, I’ll reach out to book a consultation. Thanks so much for considering me for your tattoo!
