FAQ

What is a tattoo consultation?

Consultations are an essential part of my process. Once your request is approved and your scheduling fee is paid, you'll receive a link to book your consultation and share additional information and reference images.

During your 45-minute consultation, we'll talk through your idea, the direction of the design, colors, placement, and your budget. Custom tattoo consultations take place over the phone, and I'll call you from my work number, 970-312-5522, at your scheduled time. Cover-up consultations can be done over Zoom or in person.

How many sessions will my tattoo take?

Every tattoo is unique, and the time needed depends on size, detail, and placement. We'll discuss this during your consultation. Large tattoos and cover-ups often require multiple sessions, and each additional session requires a n additional scheduling fee.

What does my tattoo session include?

  • A 45-minute consultation

  • A fully colored custom design

  • Design placement and the stencil process

  • Bathroom and stretch breaks as needed, plus one lunch break of up to 30 minutes

  • Dermore bandaging, Repair Soothing Gel, and Repair Soothing Soap

How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoos are billed hourly, with a drawing fee based on size:

  • Small (two hours or less): $300 per hour, $150 drawing fee

  • Medium (up to four hours): $300 per hour, $200 drawing fee

  • Large (four hours or more): $300 per hour, $300 drawing fee

  • Cover-ups: $400 per hour, $300 drawing fee

  • Recolors: $300 per hour or less, depending on the piece

During your consultation, we'll discuss what can be accomplished with your idea, your budget, and how to bring your vision to life in the best way possible.

What is the refund policy?

Your scheduling fee guarantees a consultation, not an appointment. If we move forward after your consultation, it becomes a non-refundable drawing fee and deposit toward your session. If you choose not to schedule after your consultation, your fee will be refunded minus a $50 consultation fee. Refunds are only given after a consultation. If you need to cancel your consultation, your fee will be held until you reschedule.

When will I be scheduled for my tattoo session?

Once your scheduling fee is paid, you'll receive a link to book your consultation. Tattoo session dates will be discussed during your consultation, with options that work for both of our schedules.

What if I don't like my design?

It's very rare for a client not to love their design. I encourage you to know my work and style, read the description of your chosen series, and be confident that you're comfortable giving me complete artistic freedom. Your drawing fee is non-refundable, but you are never obligated to get the design I've created.

Can I change anything about the design when I see it?

Yes! Small adjustments to color, sizing, and details can be made to suit the design and placement. If a full redesign is requested, your drawing fee becomes void, and a new drawing fee will be required to reschedule.

What forms of payment are accepted?

[ash and credit card. All credit card transactions include a 3% processing fee.
