private studio

My private studio is a small, quiet sunlit space located within a shared salon suite building in Lafayette, Colorado - licensed through Boulder County Public Health. There is room for you to bring one other person along if you’d like! Curtains are available for additional privacy if needed

experience

I have been tattooing professionally since May 2017, and drawing my entire life before that. I received a formal apprenticeship and have worked in a variety of tattoo studios before opening my private studio in July 2022

supplies

all of my inks, stencil products, and ointments are vegan (I’ve been vegan for 10 years! :) and all of my single-use barriers, gloves, and miscellaneous supplies like ink caps are biodegradable. Tattooing generates a lot of waste in order to keep things sanitary, so I source biodegradable and otherwise eco-friendlier options whenever possible!

booking

I open my books a few times a year, or every 3-4 months - usually for flash. custom requests can now be submitted here.

+ + +

flash

a pre-drawn design available to be tattooed. drawings I release as ‘flash’ will generally only be tattooed once unless otherwise noted. I will do variations of flash designs, but I like to make adjustments so it is not the exact same + to keep it special :)

+ + +

deposit

I require a non-refundable $100 deposit via Venmo / paypal to book an appointment, which will be applied to the total of the tattoo. The deposit is specific to the design chosen at the time of booking, and is not transferrable to a different design

+ + +

rescheduling

my rescheduling policy is very flexible IF I am given notice in advance - rescheduling more than once or rescheduling last minute (less than 24-48 hours in advance) will result in forfeiture of your deposit and a new deposit will be required to book a new appointment

+ + +

hourly rate

$175/hr, $200 minimum

+ + +

pricing estimates

I will provide an hourly estimate according to the size and placement listed in your booking form. Please understand that this is just an estimate and is subject to change based on actual size, placement, wrap, etc. if the hourly estimate deviates from what I originally communicated to you I will let you know before we start tattooing. If you have a set budget in mind please let me know when booking!

return clients

email me anytime, especially if you need a touch up or have a new idea for a tattoo :) One touch up is free if needed after your tattoo heals. If you’re planning on getting more tattoos, I encourage getting touch ups done alongside another tattoo to reduce waste! Please note my email response time can be 2-3 weeks sometimes - thank you for your patience!

coverups / reworks

generally my style is not suited for a coverup unless it is a blast over (with the original tattoo intentionally remaining at least partially visible through the new tattoo for a layered effect) or you are open to heavy black fill. Unfortunately there is nothing I am able to do to make an existing tattoo smaller / lighter / more delicate and generally would suggest considering laser removal in these cases. I will not rework or add-on to another artist’s work
