Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.

Policy Changes and New Booking System
A new scheduling system is currently being tested and will go live October 1st! You’ll be able to select appointments, pay your deposit, upload photos, cancel/reschedule, and receive confirmations and reminders all from one place. The quarterly model will be replaced by a 90-day moving period - which for now, means books will remain open!
Deposits will now cover the appointment time and up to two reschedules. More than two will result in appointment cancellation, at which time a new appointment selection and deposit will be required to move forward.
No call/no shows - things happen of course, but it’s imperative that I be notified to avoid showing up to work to an unexpectedly empty schedule. Going forward, I will no longer be rebooking no call/no shows appointments, and unfortunately our working relationship will have to end.
The launch of the new booking system has a lot of benefits, including email/text confirmations and reminders, which should help reduce communication errors for all involved.

Rate/Deposit changes for 2023
After much consideration and encouragement, I’ve decided beginning January 1st, 2023, the following will take effect:
Hourly rate will change from $150/hr to $175/hr. This is in accordance to the average city rates, increased costs of operations due to inflation, and other factors. This only applies to new tattoos, ongoing work will remain at $150 until completion.
Deposit requirement will change from $50 to $100
There will a minimum one hour requirement to book. If your desired piece is going to take less than an hour’s time, I strongly suggest you pair it with either another tattoo(s), or in addition to another larger piece we are already working on. Set-up materials, inks, and needles have all increased in cost, some drastically, and sadly the former $50 minimum no longer adequately compensates for my materials and my time. If you still only want a small piece and don’t wish to do more than one or pair it with a larger piece, we can still book it if you like, but the deposit and minimum one-hour rate will remain.
