RATES 

  - Minimum $120 (Names, fine line tiny tats, tiny ornaments) 

  - Hourly $250 

  - Half Day Session (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM): $750

  - Full Day Session (11:00 AM – 5:00 PM): $1,500

I WILL TAKE $100 off for cash payments on half/full day rates.

BACK-TO-BACK SESSION PRICING

For larger projects that require multiple consecutive days:

• 2 Full Days — $2,400

Regularly $3,000 — save $600

• 3 Full Days — $3,600

Regularly $4,500 — save $900

These package rates are available when full-day sessions are booked back-to-back. They’re especially ideal for large-scale projects like sleeves, backs, legs, and other multi-session pieces.

Any additional time beyond the half/full day window will be billed at the hourly rate. My time encompasses everything from stenciling to bathroom breaks, stretching, and snack breaks. This removes time pressure for both parties. However, I do work pretty fast when I can zone out. If we are doing a multi session piece, and it looks like the last session will be less than 6 hours, you will be charged the discounted hourly rate instead. 

Payment & Tipping

The remaining balance after deposit is due at the end of your session. I accept cash, card, Apple Pay, and Zelle. Your deposit is applied toward your final cost. Tips are never expected, always appreciated. If you pay with card, the Hawaii GE tax is on there.

I try to book only 1-3 months in advance, however if you have a special time frame involving travel, please let me know. I try to accommodate time/date requests but it doesn't always happen. My weekend availability is quite limited. 

My typical tattoo days are Tuesday - Friday. 

I have Sunday availability for a priority booking rate.

OAHU: I am located on the North Shore.

ESTIMATES

• Most small (2-7 inch) are done in 1 session

• 8-10" tats 1-2 sessions

• Forearm/upper arm 1-2 sessions

• Leg piece 1-2 session 

• Arm Sleeves average 4-6 day sessions

• Leg or Back Sleeves average 6-8 full sessions

• Note: My time and price quote can vary slightly depending on the project, variables such as size, how you sit, and placement all affect the final time/price. 

I do not send designs prior to our appointment. I usually start designing a few days before each session, and will reach out if I have any questions regarding the design. We will have a thorough discussion on the day of your appointment.

Revisions

I’ll work with you to shape your design, and one round of revisions is included before your appointment. Major changes on the day may require a new design and a reschedule. Your story is what guides the piece, so please share any changes you’d like as early as you can.

Deposits
To secure your appointment, I require a non-refundable deposit:

• $200 for half-day and full-day appointments

• $100 for small appointments

Your appointment is not added to my calendar until the deposit is received. I’ll only ask for it once we’ve agreed on a day and time. Payment is made through a Square invoice link that I send you.

Your deposit is applied toward the final cost of your tattoo. For multi-session pieces, it comes off your last session. If your tattoo takes one sitting, it’s applied then.

Rescheduling
I ask for at least 72 hours’ notice to reschedule. With proper notice, your deposit carries over to your new date. Changes made inside that window forfeit the deposit.

Cancellations & No-Shows
If you cancel, or don’t call or show up, your deposit is not returned.

I understand that emergencies and last-minute things happen. Please communicate with me, and we’ll try to work something out. Most of my appointments are full days, so a sudden change is very hard to rebook on short notice and costs me a full day of work.

Arriving Late
Your appointment time begins at the agreed start, so arriving late shortens your session rather than shifting it.

Studio Policies

A few things to know so your session feels smooth, safe, and grounded.

Your Appointment

• Start time: Appointments begin at 11:00 AM unless we’ve agreed on something else. I’m happy to be flexible on timing for smaller pieces.

• Arriving on time: Your appointment begins at the agreed start, so arriving late shortens your session rather than shifting it. If you’re more than [30] minutes late, I may need to reschedule, and your deposit will be forfeited.

• Rescheduling and cancellations: Please see my deposit policy for notice requirements and deposit terms.

• Guests: Please bring no more than one guest. This keeps the studio calm and focused for everyone. For the comfort and safety of the space, please leave children and pets at home.

Before You Arrive

• Age and ID: You must be 18 or older to be tattooed. Please bring a valid photo ID so I can verify your age.

• Eat and hydrate: Eat a full meal beforehand and drink plenty of water. It makes a real difference in how you feel and how you heal.

• Skip the alcohol: Please avoid alcohol and recreational substances for 24 hours before your session. They thin the blood and can affect your comfort and your healing.

• Prepare your skin: Moisturize the area in the days leading up and arrive with clean skin.

• Sunburn and fresh tans: I can’t tattoo sunburned, peeling, or very freshly tanned skin. If you’re burned near your placement, please let me know as soon as possible so we can find a new date.

• If you’re sick: Please reschedule if you’re feeling unwell. Let me know as early as you can, and we’ll find a time that works. [Deposit carries over with notice.]

• Health disclosures: Before your appointment, please tell me about any medications (especially blood thinners), allergies, skin conditions, or pregnancy. Some of these may mean adjusting or postponing your session, and it helps me take care of you.

• Consent form: You’ll sign a consent and release form at your appointment before we begin.

• Photos & Social Media

  I like to photograph finished work for my portfolio and social media. If you’d prefer your tattoo not be shared, or shared without your face or identifying details, just let me know.
  Pregnancy. I will NOT tattoo you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Arms and shoulders: A tank top or a loose top that slides up easily.

• Legs, thighs, and hips: Shorts or loose, stretchy pants that can be rolled up or adjusted. Athletic shorts work well. Bikini bottoms are great too.

• Ribs, chest, and torso: A loose tank, a button-up shirt, or a bralette or sports top, depending on your comfort.

• Back and spine: A top that opens in the back or can be pulled off easily. Button-ups work beautifully.

• Feet and ankles: Shorts or loose pants, and easy slip-on shoes or sandals.

Please avoid

• Tight or restrictive clothing that will rub against fresh work, especially on the way home.

• Anything delicate or precious. Ink, ointment, and stencil transfer can stain, so wear something you won’t mind getting marked.

• Clothing that needs to be pulled over the area while it’s still fresh.

A few more things

• Bring a light layer. Sitting still for long stretches can get cool, even on warm days.

• If your placement calls for it and you’d like extra coverage, you’re welcome to bring a change of clothes or a shirt to wear during the session. Draping and privacy are always available.

• Wear something you can leave on afterward. Your tattoo will be wrapped, and loose, breathable fabric over it will keep it comfortable as it begins to heal.
