How much will my tattoo cost?

Small to medium-sized tattoos : Flash pieces start at $250, with pricing based on size. Custom pieces that can be completed in a single session start at $350, with pricing determined by the design rather than an hourly rate. Final pricing may vary depending on size, placement, and level of detail.

Larger projects : Multi-session projects and larger pieces are quoted at a day rate. If multiple sessions are required, they can be scheduled back-to-back or spaced 2 weeks to 1 month apart.

An estimated timeframe and quote will be provided after reviewing your booking form and consultation.

Do you offer touch-ups?

Yes, I offer complimentary touch-ups within 12 months of your appointment, excluding tattoos on the hands, feet, and fingers. After 12 months, touch-ups are available for a small fee.

What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

If you need to reschedule your appointment, please email me as soon as possible. One complimentary reschedule is available. Any additional rescheduling requests will require a new deposit to secure a new booking.

BEFORE YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT

You must be at least 18 years old to get tattooed. Please bring a valid photo ID showing your date of birth to your appointment.

Have a substantial meal beforehand to help maintain your energy throughout the session.

Avoid alcohol and drugs for at least 24 hours before your appointment, and remain sober during the tattooing process.

Avoid anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Nurofen, Advil, Aspirin, Ponstan, Naprogesic, and similar medications for at least 48 hours prior to your session, as they may thin the blood. Panadol is safe to take if needed.

If you are currently taking any medications such as antibiotics or oral acne treatments including isotretinoin (e.g. Accutane, Roaccutane) or tetracyclines (e.g. doxycycline, minocycline), please inform your artist prior to your appointment, as these medications can affect healing and increase the risk of complications or scarring.

Please arrive with clean skin and good personal hygiene. Ensure the area to be tattooed is free from tanning products, as residual fake tan can affect ink quality and increase the risk of irritation.

Tattoos cannot be performed over sunburned, irritated, or wounded skin. If the area is not fully healed, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.

Wear comfortable clothing, or bring garments that allow easy access to the tattoo area.

You are welcome to bring headphones, a book, or anything else that helps you relax and stay comfortable during your session.
