The night before, make sure to rest up and that your skin is clean and well moisturized. Please do not drink alcohol in excess, getting tattooed while hungover is truly not fun for anyone. Please also avoid tanning (including self-tanner) as well as extreme sports/weight training (due to swelling).
On the day of your appointment, be sure to arrive having eaten and hydrated recently. Do not use any kind of numbing product in preparation for your tattoo, unless previously discussed with your artist. In addition, bring snacks and extra water so you have them while we work!
I am constantly monitoring the news regarding the spread of Covid-19. As of now, I am requiring that all clients provide their proof of vaccination (including the booster dose) when making an appointment, as well as getting tested prior to coming in. There are no other artists working in the same space as us, and I am not currently allowing guests in order to minimize exposure. I work with a KN95 on at all times and run a HEPA filter in my space. Guests will be asked to be masked up accordingly as well. I am so appreciative of my clients’ acceptance of this policy and continuing patience as we all navigate an ever-changing situation.
My rate is $200/hour* with a $150 minimum. Most of my tattoos take between 1-2.5 hours, depending on size and level of detail. If we are in the booking process, I will give you a more precise estimate when we talk about a design.
*Sliding scale pricing is available to BIPOC clients. If you’re interested please put a heart by your name in my booking form! I am more than happy to discuss budget limitations and will do my best to accommodate you.
My studio is a private space located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. If you are making an appointment, you will receive an exact address and directions once you put in your deposit!
