Flashbook


Please do not copy or use my artwork for any other form of production or use for other tattoo artists. Anything posted on my website is copyrighted!

To request a design, please fill out this form

Flash Guidelines


  • Multiple clients may claim the same design. However, I will do my best to ensure that a design is not tattooed in the same placement and/or colour palette on another client.
  • Flash designs are typically priced at a flat rate based on the size and placement requested. Please submit a booking form or email me directly for pricing on a specific design.
  • Flash designs may be added, removed, or retired at any time based on my artistic direction and interests.
  • While I primarily work in black ink, colour can be requested and discussed on the day of your appointment.
  • Minor customizations to flash designs may be requested through the booking form and are subject to approval.
  • Flash designs cannot be used as cover-ups or incorporated into existing tattoos without prior consultation and approval.
  • All flash designs will include shading and finishing details that may not be shown in the original artwork. These details will be discussed during your appointment.

CULTURAL DISCLAIMER

I am committed to creating work that honours and respects the cultures that inspire it and to avoid cultural appropriation in my tattoo practice.

Designs that are directly inspired by Indigenous cultures, Black culture, Black women, Mehndi (Henna), or other culturally significant artistic traditions will generally only be tattooed on clients who have a personal, cultural, ancestral, or community connection to that imagery.

I reserve the right to decline tattoo requests that I feel may be culturally inappropriate or misrepresent the significance of a particular design or tradition. I understand that cultural identity and personal experiences are nuanced, and exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you are unsure whether a design falls within these guidelines, please feel free to email me directly to discuss your idea before booking.

Booking Process

Session Scheduling

Here is my Booking Form to request a tattoo session. 

Appointments are typically scheduled 4-8 weeks ahead and updates on any cancellations or rescheduled appointments, flash events or tours are announced via my instagram broadcast channel and/or stories. 

I encourage you to follow and sign up online to any of my platforms in order to receive faster updates on scheduling a session. You can also gather more information on my process via the Q & A page.



Tattoo Designs

Custom Tattoos - Drawn designs are designed with you present on the day of the tattoo appointment due to the intensity of my schedule.  Unfortunately, there are no exceptions that can be made to this at this time!

Flash Designs - design change requests can be asked for most of my flash art. You may request prior or during your session.

Cover Ups - They will only be accepted if I feel confident that the cover up can be executed. It depends on what you currently have and what you want to cover it up with. Please email directly for approvals.


Pricing

Hourly Rate: averages $250 CAD + HST since 2020*

Flat Rate: I typically flat rate all my sessions depending on the size and placement you want!  That way you are informed about the overall cost and can be prepared for the final payment(s) the day of a session.  I usually book my sessions with two options:

Full Day Sessions: $1650 CAD + HST ($350 in savings) for 7.5 hours per person only* 
Half Day Sessions: $875 CAD + HST or less (standard hourly rate based on the sizing) per person only*

Deposits: I charge between $50- $200 CAD to secure a session via e-transfer or paypal

  • The time starts from the moment the design discussion begins and includes drawing time and tattooing.
  • Final payments must be made in-person and on the same day of the tattoo session.
  • If you would still like to tip I ask that you tip via cash!  Tips are dependent on the individual receiving the service (15-20% is accepted).
  • Full day Session flat rate cannot be split with two or more persons. 

I offer a few sliding scale rate sessions each month for single black identifying mothers/parents only* with children under the age of 18! Please let me know via the booking form when applying.

Cancellation Policy

Any cancellations or appointment changes must be done 48 hours before the date of the session in order to keep your deposit. All deposits are non-refundable.
If you request to reschedule last minute, you may be required to send an additional deposit.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late to the appointment, you will lose the deposit toward the tattoo.
If you are more than 30 minutes late, your session will be cancelled.


Additional Info

Please try to wear minimal colours in terms of clothing - black, grey, dark green/blue, denim etc. if possible!
Eat well and drink a lot of water for tattoo sessions, try to avoid alcohol, caffeine or blood thinning medications prior to your session. 

No numbing cream can be used on the area without confirming prior to the session.
Please email in advance to get permission to use numbing creams or sprays on the area being tattooed. I only allow this on painful areas such as full back, ribcage, joints, head/skull tattoos ankles or feet. The majority of other placements are manageable without numbing.
