Tattoo Policies & Pricing

Location

• My private tattoo studio in Seattle is located near Pike Place Market

Tattoo Consultation Availability

• Consultations are by invitation only.

• Consultations times vary, but are generally available weekdays between 11 AM - 12:30 PM.

• Consultations are scheduled by appointment only. Available dates and times will be provided when you are invited to schedule.

General Tattooing Hours

• Tattoos are by appointment only.

• Tattoo appointments are generally available Monday through Thursday, with start times beginning around 12:30 PM.

• Friday appointments begin around 12:00 PM and are typically reserved for ongoing multi-session projects rather than first tattoo sessions.

• Availability varies, and all appointments are scheduled in advance.

Tattoo Hourly Rate

• $250 per hour of tattooing, plus tax.

• Tipping is not expected.

• You are charged only for tattooing time, not for consultation, setup, stencil placement, breaks, or aftercare instruction.

Full-Day Flat Rate Tattoo Appointments

• I offer full-day appointments at a flat rate of $850, plus tax.

• A full-day appointment reserves approximately eight hours in my schedule and generally includes 3.5 to 4.5 hours of tattooing, along with time for setup, stencil placement, breaks, and instructions for aftercare.

• If the total tattooing time is less than 3.5 hours, you will be charged my standard hourly rate of $250 per hour, plus tax, rather than the full-day rate.

Tattoo Payment Methods

• Payment is due at the end of each tattoo session.

• Cash is preferred, but not required.

• I accept most cards, and contactless payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay).

Paying With Afterpay

• Afterpay is available for clients who would prefer to pay for their tattoo in installments. To use Afterpay in person, please complete the setup Afterpay before your appointment:

  • Download the Afterpay app and log in or create an account.

  • Open the In-Store section and set up your Afterpay Card

  • Add the Afterpay Card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

  • Check your available spending amount in the app and make sure it is sufficient to cover the full appointment balance, including tax.

• At checkout, open Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, select the Afterpay Card, and tap your phone on the payment terminal as you would for any other contactless payment.

  Afterpay eligibility, spending limits, installment terms, and transaction approval are determined by Afterpay. I cannot create or approve an Afterpay account, increase your available spending amount, or guarantee that a transaction will be accepted. Please have another payment method available in case Afterpay declines or does not cover the full balance.

Tattoo Deposit Policy

• A $250 non-refundable deposit is required to schedule every custom tattoo appointment.

• Your deposit is applied toward the completed tattoo. For a multi-session project, it is applied to the balance due at the final appointment. (Example: if your total was $750 and you paid a $250 deposit, you would owe $500 plus tax)

• Deposits are non-refundable, except at my discretion.

• Online deposits must be paid by card. Deposits paid in person may be made by cash or card, although cash is preferred.

Tattoo Cancellation, Rescheduling, & Late Arrival Policies

• If you need to cancel, reschedule, or request a later start time, please email me as soon as possible. If you cancel through the scheduling app, please also notify me by email.

• Please contact me via email before your appointment if you are ill, have an active infection, have a skin condition, or injury affecting the tattoo area.

• Your deposit may be forfeited if:

  • You cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice.

    • Notice must be received at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time.

  • You don’t show up for your appointment.

  • You are more than 30 minutes late.

• If your deposit is forfeited, a new $250 deposit is required before another appointment can be scheduled.

• I understand that emergencies happen. Exceptions to the deposit policy may be considered at my discretion, but are not guaranteed.

Tattoo Concept Reviews & Drawing Fees

• Larger, multi-session tattoos generally include a concept review in advance of your first tattoo appointment. Visit Custom Tattoo Requests for more information on concept review appointments.

• Smaller, single-session tattoos ordinarily do not include an advance concept review.

  • When an advance concept review is requested or agreed upon for a smaller tattoo, a separate $150 non-refundable drawing fee may be required. This fee covers additional drawing and meeting time and is not applied toward the cost of tattooing.
