I specialize in custom tattoos formatted to fit the collector’s body proportions. Generally speaking, I work with people who are looking to have me design large scale cohesive work for them and are expecting to pay $800-1200 per session. I am not taking small tattoos, things you printed online, or other people’s artwork, right now.

I generally prefer to work with an idea, feeling, or general direction and then be allowed to put that together for the body placement. I take the time to listen to what you’re saying, to the emotion behind your idea, to the reason you're choosing to make this mark, and I also gather my own ideas and inspiration from what I hear. I am most interested in creating my own artwork and prefer to be allowed the creative freedom. I’m not super interested in just being a hand with a machine that you dictate instructions to.

My own influences draw from connection to nature. I really enjoy tattooing animals, landscapes, florals, fauna, sacred geometry, ornamentals and the anything from the forest.

I am mixed mexican, irish, and native american (tsalagi) and I am an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. I’ve unwittingly found myself on a reconnection journey, and continue to bring those understandings and realities into my day to day experience, worldview, and practice. As such, when it is appropriate, I do enjoy doing cultural tattoos and markings, especially contemporary takes on cultural motifs, reconnection, ancestral healing intentions, decolonization and land back motifs.

Rates and Policies

All of my appointments include an in-person design consultation prior to the tattoo appointment, up to 2 hours, and a touch up to be completed within 6 months of the completed tattoo.
+ My appointments generally run 4-6 hours, depending on the design. Expect to pay $800-1,200 per individual appointment, depending on the hours ($200/tattoo hour)

For the best deal for larger work:
2 Days Back 2 Back ($1800; $900 per day, up to 10 hours of work, plus the design session time as well)
[If you do math, that’s $180/tattoo hour] Get tattooed twice, heal from it once. It’s great. Everyone should do this.

My minimum for a small tattoo is $250

Deposit: $200 Nonrefundable
Credited to the final appointment when your project is completed. If you change your tattoo idea after our consultation and need a new consultation for the new design idea, you will forfeit your previous deposit and pay a new one to cover the design time. Please do not do this on the day of your appointment, as it will result in a loss of income.

Standard Cancellation/Reschedule Policy: You can reschedule with no loss of deposit up to 5 days in advance. This is mostly larger scale work, so short notice is hard to fill and will cost me a large portion of my income, so I need a lot of notice for a reschedule!
If you reschedule short notice you will lose your deposit and need to pay a new one to reschedule.
No refunds for cancellations.
Your deposit will only be credited back to you when you complete your project.
