I specialize in custom tattooing with a focus on Japanese-inspired, Traditional, and Neo-Traditional work featuring bold lines, strong contrast, and vibrant color.

Current services include:

• Small to medium custom tattoos

• Traditional & Neo-Traditional tattoos

• Japanese-inspired designs

• Select cover-ups and reworks (case dependent)

Every tattoo is designed specifically for the client with an emphasis on strong composition, readability, and long-lasting results.

The process starts with reaching out through the booking or contact form. Include:

• Your tattoo idea

• Placement

• Approximate size

• Reference images (if you have them)

From there, we’ll schedule a 20-30 minute video or phone consultation to discuss your concept, sizing, placement, artistic direction, and pricing estimate. This helps ensure we’re aligned before booking your appointment.

A deposit is required to secure your appointment and goes toward the final cost of the tattoo.

I approach tattooing with both an artistic and psychological perspective. My goal is not just to create a tattoo that looks good, but one that feels intentional and personal to the client.

I focus heavily on:

• Bold, clean designs

• Strong color saturation

• Tattoos that age well over time

• Client comfort and communication

• Custom artwork instead of copy-and-paste designs

The studio is designed to feel private, professional, and welcoming — especially for first-time clients or anyone who may feel nervous about the process.

The best way to reach me is through the contact form on this website.

Please include:

• Your tattoo idea

• Placement

• Approximate size

• Preferred availability

I typically respond within 1–2 business days.

Pricing is offered at a flat rate based on the size, placement, level of detail, and overall complexity of the tattoo.

Current pricing starts at a minimum of $80 for small color tattoos. Larger or more detailed pieces are priced individually after discussing the design during the consultation process.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure all appointments and will go toward the final cost of the tattoo. Exact pricing and expectations are discussed before booking so everything is clear upfront.

I try to make the process straightforward, collaborative, and comfortable from start to finish.

Everything begins with a simple consultation, which can take place by email, text message, phone call, or video chat. During this consultation, we'll discuss your ideas, inspiration, goals for the tattoo, placement options, sizing, and any other important details. I'll offer recommendations and professional guidance when appropriate, and together we'll finalize a design concept that we're both excited about.

Once your appointment is scheduled, I'll send you a welcome email containing everything you'll need to know before your session, including appointment preparation instructions, studio information, and what to expect on the day of your tattoo.

You can expect:

• Honest communication
• A clean and professional environment
• Thoughtful design guidance
• Attention to placement and flow
• Patience throughout the process
• A focus on creating tattoos that hold up well over time

On the day of your appointment, we'll begin by reviewing and signing all required consent forms and making a copy of your government-issued identification. I'll then walk you through what the day will look like, answer any last-minute questions, and ensure you're comfortable before we begin.

My studio environment is intentionally calm and relaxed. I typically play classical music during sessions, and it will generally be just the two of us in the room. We can take breaks whenever needed, and complimentary Starbucks coffee is always available.

Throughout the tattoo process, I'll explain what I'm doing, monitor your comfort level, and make adjustments as needed to ensure the experience is as positive as possible.

I also routinely photograph and video record portions of the tattooing process and the completed tattoo to document my work and showcase my artistic process. Once the tattoo is finished, we'll take professional photos and videos of the completed piece.

After the session, I'll verbally review detailed aftercare instructions with you and provide a complimentary aftercare kit containing the essentials you'll need to properly care for your new tattoo during the healing process.

To help commemorate the experience, I'll also send you copies of the photos and videos from your appointment that you can keep for yourself and share on social media if you'd like.

I’ll also be upfront and respectful if a request does not align with my artistic style or current abilities. My goal is to give clients the best possible outcome, and in some cases that may mean recommending another artist who is a better fit for the project.

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, the goal is to create something meaningful, readable, and wearable for years to come.
