I work out of my home studio in Uptown, Minneapolis. Please note that my unit is not handicap accessible. If this will be an issue for you, please email me to discuss options.

I live with my partner and our cat. You may see either of them walking around my apartment during your appointment.

Unless otherwise stated, designs will be repeated. I will retire designs once I’ve done them several times.

I am always happy to modify designs that have already been tattooed or retired. This will be treated as a custom design.

• Moisturize the area you wish to place your tattoo daily for a few days to a week prior to your appointment.

• For at least 24 hours before your appointment, avoid blood thinners (such as alcohol, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc).

• Please arrive sober and well-hydrated. Make sure to eat a good meal before your appointment, and feel free to bring snacks and water with you.

• Dress comfortably in clothes that allow access to the area being tattooed. Don’t wear anything that you don’t want ink to splatter on (I do my very best to avoid this, but splatters occasionally happen).

Please see the pricing page for all information about cost and payment.

Hand poked tattoos generally take between 2 and 5 hours to complete. Longer sessions may require scheduling a second appointment (no extra fees apply to this).

Feel free to ask for time estimates for the piece while booking!

To limit the spread of communicable diseases, I will require us both to wear masks at your appointment.

I will provide you with a mask if you don’t have one.

You may bring one friend along to your appointment. I will require that they wear a mask.

Touch-ups are free, now and forever! Please email me to book a touch up appointment.

If you’re not sure whether your tattoo needs a touch up, please email me photos of your tattoo and I can help guide your decision.

Please inquire about touch ups 1 month after your tattoo appointment to ensure it's fully healed.

Your deposit is refundable for up to 48 hours before your appointment time. If appointment changes are made within 48 hours of your appointment without a reasonable explanation (e.g. illness, emergency), you will forfeit your deposit and another $50 deposit will be required to reschedule. Please let me know as soon as you need to make changes with your appointment time.

Drafting fees for custom designs are non-refundable. This compensates my time spent working on your design.

If you don’t show up for your appointment without giving any prior notice (“no-call no-show”), I will likely not book with you again unless there are extenuating circumstances that prevented you from communicating with me (e.g. emergency or illness). No-call no-shows result in a waste of single-use materials and time that could've been given to another client. Even if you need to cancel or reschedule at the last minute, please email, DM, or text me at any time. I'm very understanding!

Please stay home! Let me know and we will reschedule. Your deposit will be honored for your next booking.
