My Policies
Pricing
Minimum: My minimum is $200.
Hourly: $180 an hour
Budget: In your booking form, please indicate if you have a specific budget for your tattoo. I'll do my best to accommodate by adjusting the size, detail, or placement as needed.
Sketches
Please inform me of any changes to your idea at least a week in advance to allow time for adjustments; last-minute changes will require rescheduling. I release the drawing the day before the appointment, which may not suit everyone, so please consider this when booking.
If you’re not satisfied with the drawing or want adjustments, I can make small changes, but extensive revisions will require rescheduling. To avoid this, please be specific about your tattoo design.
Deposits
Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit sets your time and date of your appointment as well as goes towards the cost the tattoo. The deposit does not guarantee that you will get a drawing if you cancel your appointment. I honor deposits for a year.
Booking
To book, fill out the contact form on the booking page—this does not guarantee an appointment. I book up to 8 weeks in advance; for dates beyond this, contact me 1-1.5 months ahead. Expect a response within a week. You must be 18 or older with a valid ID (not a birth certificate). Guardians cannot sign for you per Illinois law.

Please eat before your appointment. We only allow small snacks and water; bring some if your session will be long. Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting ink on and that allows access to the tattoo area.
Our studio is open floor, so clients and artists will be walking around. Due to limited space, please come alone; any companions will need to wait in the lobby. Children are not permitted.
Arrive on time, as parking is street-only. Sunday parking is free, but please allow extra time for finding a spot and paying. Late arrivals (20+ minutes) will need to reschedule and forfeit their deposit.
We are cash-only. Please bring cash in advance, there is no longer an ATM nearby.
Upon arrival, please wait in the lobby, fill out some paperwork, and then we’ll get started!
