Q&A

How do I book a session?

Signing up for my broadcast channel on instagram is best for finding out about bookings and events. Follow me on all other social media platforms for updates about bookings, events and tours.

What kind of tattoos do you do?

I tattoo a lot of fine line/bold designs predominately egyptian lotus or floral theme. I also love to do concepts of human portraits, animals, taxidermy, etc. I am a coil, rotary and pen machine artist, and I prefer to focus on my flash art. I also allow several custom session each month, usually accepting ideas that are within my capabilities.

How far in advance should I book my session?

I normally book 3 to 5 weeks in advance unless I have travel plans to tour.
If you are travelling to me, I try to accommodate based on your travel schedule. I suggest contacting me 2-3 months in advance via email just to be sure of my availability or waiting for my books to open.

What are your rates?

Hourly Rate: averages $250 CAD + HST since 2020*
I always charge between $50- $200 CAD to secure a session via e-transfer or paypal
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.

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).

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.

Do you have any tattoo exclusions?

No palmar skin (the side of the finger and palms), ears or directly on genitalia.
No typewriter, text, or block fonts - cursive/script tattoos only, minimal words
No watercolour/realism tattoos
No copied artwork unless you have the artist’s permission!

At this time, I am not taking on any of the following concepts:
sunflowers, feathers with birds coming out of it, elephants, lions, anchors, compasses, musical notes, infinity symbols, Nefertiti, Billie Holiday , crosses, rosaries, hand/finger prints or pet prints!

Some personal facts about me
