Please familiarize yourself with my portfolio before booking to be sure that my work is a good fit for what you have in mind. I have a distinct style and take on projects that reflect that. For any requests regarding styles that I don’t feel compatible with, I’m happy to recommend other artists who are best suited for that piece. My best work comes with clients that give me a general idea of the desired elements of a design and are very open to let me run with the creative process.

Location: My studio is located in Johnson City, TN. As it is a private establishment, directions/address are sent via email after an appointment is scheduled.

Guests: As the studio space is small, I ask that you only bring one guest with you. Guests must be 18 or older. The studio space is not equipped for children.

Hours:  By appointment. Tuesday-Saturday. 10am-5pm weekdays, 10am-7pm weekends.

Making an appointment: All booking is through this website under the Booking Form tab. Once I read through your request form, I’ll be in touch via email to let you know if this particular project is a good fit and move forward with the deposit and scheduling. I do my best to respond within two weeks.

Deposit/Drawing Fee/Rescheduling/Cancellation Policy: Deposits are required for all appointments. Time is valuable, and when working by appointment, when someone cancels or fails to show up, that expected income is lost.  Much communication, time, and effort go into each drawing, and a deposit ensures that this will be covered if your appointment is rescheduled or cancelled.

$50 Deposits are due for an appointment once your date and time slot are confirmed via email. Information on how to send it will be in the email to confirm your day in advance. Deposits are nonrefundable. This amount does come off the price of your tattoo at your appointment. If you need to reschedule your appointment, notice must be given via email within 14 days of your appointment. If you need to reschedule 13 days or less from your appointment, half of the deposit ($50) will be forfeited, as it is unlikely to be able to fill your spot in that short amount of time. Deposits can be accepted via Venmo or in person at my studio during a consultation. No deposit, no drawing.

Design: A pencil sketch will be sent a few days before your appointment. The drawing fee covers one set of revisions. If any changes are desired, they need to be clearly stated before the final ink drawing is made, as changes after the final drawing likely require starting over. The finished design will be ready the day of your appointment. If necessary, small changes can be made that day at my discretion according to the amount of time available, otherwise an appointment may need to be rescheduled if the drawing has to be completely redone. If you are traveling in from out of town, I will send your design a little further in advance before you make the trip. Please state in your email that you will be traveling in so I can plan accordingly.

Rates: Predrawn pieces are priced as is. Custom designs are priced individually dependong on the size and time that tattoo takes. The studio is CASH preferred, but I can also accept most credit/debit cards or Venmo/Paypal.

  • Original Predrawn Designs: Periodically a selection of original designs are posted on my instagram stories. These are prepriced at the size as is, and are first come first serve. Designs are unique and will not be repeated. Directions on how to claim a design will be included in the stories. $50 deposits are required.

Long-standing customers, predrawn designs, and ideas best suited to this particular style of tattooing will take priority.

Thank you for your patience and support. Remember deposits are required. If we discuss your idea but you do not send a deposit in a timely manner, you will not receive a design or appointment slot.
