Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are your rates? How much does a tattoo cost?
Every tattoo is different, so rates vary. My baseline is $200 an hour. For something big I may quote a set price instead, and a small traditional piece may not need an hourly minimum.
Share your idea in the form and I'll send you an estimate, or text me the details at (414) 208-1056. Once we're on the same page, I'll send you a link to get on my calendar.
When do you work, and how quickly can I get in?
Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 8 PM. I'm often booked out for weeks, but I keep a cancellation list, and if you're flexible you may get in sooner. I never book more than 90 days out, so you won't wait forever.
Do you have health certifications? How do you keep things clean and safe?
Yes. I'm certified in bloodborne pathogens, and everyone at the shop goes beyond state requirements. I've worked at quite a few shops and done guest spots at dozens. We really are cleaner than most.
What aftercare do you give or recommend?
I keep aftercare simple. I usually put on a surgical bandage (Saniderm) for the first days, unless you're coming back soon for another session. Extra products often aren't needed and can cause problems. I'll make sure you know exactly what to do.
I saw a tattoo I like. Can you give me that tattoo?
It's a good starting point, but I won't copy someone else's work. We'll take what you like about it and draw something custom to you, composed for where it sits on your body. Bring whatever inspiration you have.
I've had bad experiences with other artists. Will you treat me right?
Definitely. Respect and professionalism are at the core of how I work. From the first message to the last session, communication stays open, prompt, and professional. Read what my clients say in their reviews.
How should I prepare, and when should I show up?
Come rested, fed, and hydrated, and skip drinking the night before. Bring whatever keeps you comfortable: headphones, something to watch, a hoodie or blanket, snacks, a friend if it helps.
Show up on time; there's no need to come early. That gives me time to dial in the design before you sit down.
What inks and equipment do you use?
Industry-approved inks and equipment with a long track record. I won't experiment with untested products on clients. My priority is tattoos that look good for life, and I don't cut corners to get there.
