frequently asked questions

deposits & cancellation policy

Depending on the amount of time needed for your session, a deposit ranging from $100 to $200 is required to book. Your deposit is rolled until your last session and is taken off of the total that day. This deposit is non-refundable. A 72 hour notice is required to reschedule, and after 2 consecutive reschedules the deposit is forfeited and another must be submitted to rebook.

An active appointment must be in the schedule to hold a deposit. Once an appointment is rescheduled without a new date, a new deposit is required.

Pricing

My rates are currently $180 per hour. I only charge for needle-to-skin time, and not for any stenciling, breaks, etc.

Do you do coverups?

This depends on the project! I am open to working on coverups, but they are on a case to case basis.

Will I see the design before my appointment?

I do not send out any artwork before the day of the tattoo. I start my design process a few days before your scheduled date, and any changes can be made on the day of your appointment.

If your subject matter has changed entirely, a new deposit will be required and a new appointment can be scheduled. 

Do you tattoo minors?

Unfortunately, no. I do not tattoo people under the age of 18, even with parental consent. 

forms of payment

I can accept cash, Venmo, or card via Square. All card transactions processed through Square are subject to a 4% transaction fee.

Can I bring my own design?

While you are welcome to send in inspiration photos, all of my work is custom and I do not tattoo other artists work. ​​​

This is to avoid accidental theft of artwork, and to keep my portfolio consistent.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

My home studio is currently Black Garden Tattoo in Saint Johnsbury, VT.

I travel often to different studios as a guest, and love attending conventions!
