Exciting Updates & Booking Announcements!✨

Hey everyone! It’s been a little while since my last post, and I have some big news to share!

🚐 The Mobile Studio is Complete!
I’m thrilled to announce that the mobile tattoo studio build is officially finished and ready for action!

💈 A New Guesting Opportunity
In addition to operating out of the mobile studio, I’m excited to share that I’ll also be working alongside Apokalyptik. Moving forward, you'll be able to find me in both the RV and at the shop!

📋 Schedule & Policy Updates
As I transition into this new phase, I am slowing down my tattooing schedule and will be taking on projects more selectively. With these changes, I’ve updated my studio policies to ensure the best experience for every client.

📌 Important Booking Details:
I remain an independent contractor, so please continue booking all appointments directly through me.

Please do not reach out to Apokalyptik to schedule an appointment with me. I won't be there permanently throughout the month, so all scheduling must go through me directly.

All consultations and bookings will still be handled strictly through my website or business phone number.

You will not be able to book on the website.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support through every chapter of this journey. I can’t wait to work with you in the new spaces!

🌭BECAUSE YOU LOVE MY ART🌭

Let’s talk about reference photos! Tattoo requests 👏

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of requests to copy other tattoos 100% exactly. While I love seeing your inspiration, I will always TRY to alter a design to make it a custom piece just for you. In the past I’ve had to give into this even though I was highly against it.

Honestly, when there's an expectation to copy a photo exactly, it sets us both up for failure. It shifts the focus away from simply doing a solid, well-applied tattoo and replaces it with the pressure of creating a 1:1 copy. I want to pour my energy into giving you a beautiful tattoo, rather than stressing that you'll be disappointed if a shadow doesn't perfectly match the original tattoo artists picture.

Please keep in mind that I won't replicate another artist's exact shading style. Every tattooer has their own unique hand—no two are exactly alike! When you book an appointment, my hope is that it's because you love the way I shade and bring a piece to life. Thanks for trusting me with your art!

📣 Update on Tattoo Pricing! 📣

I’ve been giving it a lot of thought lately, and I know how important it is to have a clear idea of what your next tattoo will cost before you get in the chair. To make the process easier and more transparent for everyone, I am officially switching from hourly rates to CHARGING BY THE PIECE ! To help you out, I've attached a pricing chart below so you can get a good "ballpark" idea of what your next tattoo might run.

A few quick things to keep in mind:

🎨 Estimates Only: The attached chart is just a guide to help you plan and budget.

🫟 Detail Matters: Tattoos requiring a high level of intricate detail or larger sizes are subject to price adjustments.

🎨 No Exact Phone Quotes: I still need to discuss your specific design, size, and placement to give you a final price, so please understand that I cannot give exact, finalized quotes over the phone.

Thank you all for the continued support! Check out the chart below, and feel free to send a message so we can start planning your next amazing piece. 🖤💉✨
