Use the request form — tell me the idea, size, and placement, pick a week, and I'll write back within a few days with an estimate and a date. The studio is by appointment only, so there are no walk-ins.

Yes — tap any design on the flash sheet to send a quick claim. Each is tattooed once, then retired and pressed into the studio book.

Of course — give me 72+ hours notice and your deposit moves to the new date. Less than that and the deposit can't carry over, since the afternoon was held just for you.

Work is hourly — $200–300/hr depending on detail — with a $150 studio minimum. I'll send a real estimate once I've seen your references; most small pieces land in a single sitting.

Yes — a 25% deposit gently holds your afternoon and comes off the final total. Once we've settled on a date I'll send a simple link.

Hourly, but I'll always give you a ballpark before we book so there are no surprises at the chair.
