My hourly rate is $75/hour.

Will you work with a budget?

On my booking form you will notice a budget section. I ask for this information so that, just in case the tattoo you want is grossly over your budget, I can come up with strategies with you to make the tattoo fit within your budget. Such as things like less detail, or smaller size. Perhaps paying in sections–doing things like shorter sittings.

Sometimes, with freehand tattoos, I am willing to go a little lower because I do not have to prepare the stencil ahead of time.

Color Projects

I am new to color, and looking for clients who are patient. I am willing to accept small, manageable color projects while I learn color. Due to the cost of supplies, they are still $75/hour. I am not willing to take anything over 8 inches, right now, in color. I will not, for now, accept color tattoos with large areas of white.

Here is a Work In progress of a color piece. It is about 8 inches high. The completed piece is expected to take 2 sittings, at a total of 10 hours. $750 total, or $375 per sitting.

Tattoo Examples and Estimate Pricing:

Left tattoo (Harpy) 9 hours $675

Right tattoo (dragon) 6 hours. $450

LEFT and RIGHT: This full leg sleeve (yes, these tats are on the same leg) has taken around 30 hours over the course of 5 sittings. It goes all the way from the top of the hip, to the bottom of the ankle.

TOTAL: $2250 overall, $450 per sitting. (You may decide how long your sittings are, and pay accordingly.)

If you book a sleeve, you MUST schedule at least 2 sittings at a time, and must pay 2 deposits ($150) to lock in the $75/hour price.
