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!
