Booking Info

My private studio is located at 195 James St N, Hamilton, ON.
This space is by appointment only. No walk-ins.

How do I book?

I have a booking form you can find here. This form is usually open, however when I'm booking further than 3 months in advance is when I close it. I will announce via instagram if my books are closing for any reason. I usually respond within a couple of days, but I ask for up to 10 days to get back to your submission.

Deposit Info

A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to book your appointment. This is taken in the form of an e-transfer. I will specify in your submission reply how and where to send this to.

Your deposit goes to the final cost of your tattoo.

Your deposit will be forfeit if you:

• Cancel your appointment within 48 hours of your scheduled time
• Decide not to keep your appointment
• If we have already rescheduled your appointment once, and you want to reschedule a second time.
• If you choose to change the design for your appointment at a later date (this does not apply to repeatable flash).
• If you want multiple changes to a custom design that I find outside the scope of minor changes. In this case, your deposit is kept as a drawing fee.
• If you show up more than 20 minutes late without communicating with me.

Rates & Payment

I typically charge by the piece and determine pricing based on placement and complexity of the design. Anyone can request a quote from me, either specifying in the booking form, emailing me directly, or contacting me via instagram.

For large pieces, I charge hourly at $120/ hour. I will try my best to give you a timeframe for an estimate.

For payment, I take cash or e-transfer. I do not accept cards.

Booking Flash

I offer two kinds of flash tattoos: one-off designs and repeatable. One-off designs are tattooed once, while repeatable designs can be tattooed as many times as I'd like. Both can be found in their respectable highlights on my instagram pages.

Custom Tattoos

I'm always open to do custom tattoos. Some reasons I may turn down a custom submission would be if I don't believe that I can do the style/ placement effectively, in which case I will try to suggest another artist who would. 

Custom work will not be sent via email, social media, or any other online platform. You may request an in-person consultation to discuss the piece and make changes to the draft, otherwise, small changes can be made the day of your scheduled appointment.

I will NEVER tattoo another artists work without consent. Tattoo tickets may be purchased from other artists, however it is up to my discretion to accept the project.

Accessibility

My private studio is not wheelchair accessible. It is located on the third floor and there is no elevator access. This is a private studio with no other artists present. If you have any audio/ visual needs, please let me know ahead of time and I will try my best to accommodate. 

This is a fat and queer positive space.
