booking:
MY NYC BOOKS ARE OPEN!
I'll be giving priority to medium and large scale projects or small projects with bold placements. Freehanded pieces will take preference.
I book 2 months at a time via online submission forms, these are only available when my books “open”. After reading your submissions, I will send a responses to first priority clients. If the piece requires an in person consultation, I will make sure we figure out a time to talk in person (or the phone) and figure out if were truly a good fit.
The sweet thing about this process is that it will allow me to take proposals more often, and be able to see ideas with fresh eyes. If for some reason i still have spots left over, I will create flash or announce them through my Instagram.
Unfortunately my time is really limited and I will only notify those folks who I will be working with.
If you’ve submitted before, please feel free to resubmit.
If I think we'll be a good fit, I'll send you an email and we'll take it from there!

what if I don't know what I want?
Thats ok! If you are open to my creative vision and process there are a lot of things that I would like to explore.
how do you choose your projects?
It's all about your idea! I choose projects that will allow me to grow as an artist. I love large scale pieces that traverse the body; things that I've never seen, and most of all, people that seem down to earth and collaborative.
I also really love free-handing, which is when i draw directly onto your skin to make sure the piece really flows with your body .

i really hate text and filigree
...Like a lot... it is not my thing and I highly recommend finding another artist for it!
how far ahead do you book?
I usually book 2 months ahead but will often have open spots and will reach out to folks who have submitted before. I also post last minute cancellations on my Instagram story/account.
what if I don’t wanna wait that long?
Follow me on instagram and suscribe to get notifications every time I post. This way you’ll find out about my last minute cancellations before anyone else!
Otherwise, stay tuned for our flash fundraisers, which are an awesome way to get some ink and donate money to dope causes!

what if im coming from out of town?
I am more than happy to consult over email if you can't make it to the studio, however, if you are coming from out of town, please contact me as soon as you make your travel plans. It is really hard for me to accommodate last minute tattoos (less than a month away).
what is your rate?
My rate is 150-250USD per hour for BIPOC and 200-250USD per hour for everyone else, with a 2 hour minimum. This includes up to 3 hours of free-handing, drawing and placement. However, I am always willing to discuss payment options, low income discounts, and other ideas such as full or partial trades because money is hard and capitalism sucks. I usually take a 150USD non refundable deposit to secure the appointment during the consultation, which will count for the last hour of your tattoo. This is a non refundable deposit to discourage folks from making appointments they will cancel. It is very hard for me to refill those spots. If the fault was on me, I will refund your deposit.
how should I pay you?
Cash is king! Please make sure to discuss an estimate and do an ATM run before your appointment.
