Bay Area Booking
Thank you so much for your interest in my work!
I am currently accepting submissions for waitlist in Oakland. Please fill out the form below if interested and we will be in touch when we start booking for January 2026!
If you have multiple project ideas, please fill out a submission form for each proposed piece!
I’ll be splitting my time between the Bay Area from January-May and NYC in July-November moving forward.
Hopefully we can work together soon!

RATE
My hourly rate is $200/hour for flash projects and I have a $300 minimum.
My day rate is a flat $950 for custom projects which require in-person drawing time. This full day (12-8pm) fee covers an average of 2-4 hours of drawing time and up to 5 hours of tattoo time. Any tattoo time beyond 5 hours will be charged $200/hour additional.
For multi-session projects where the full composition linework has been completed, you can choose whether you want to continue sessions at my day rate or do half day shading sessions of 2-4 hours of tattooing at my hourly rate ($200/hour).
For flash projects charged at the hourly rate, I'm happy to give a time estimate based on the size and placement you choose.
We are a cash-only shop!!! Please be prepared ahead of time!
DEPOSIT
Please be prepared to send a $200 non-refundable deposit to secure the appointment as soon as soon as you receive an acceptance email from me in the days and week after submitting.
Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis via a booking app, and delay may cause you to lose out on available openings. If you have not booked an appointment within 48 hours of the acceptance email or have not reached out, your spot will be offered to the next person in line.
More information on my cancellation and rescheduling policies can be found on my FAQ page.
I am happy to provide an estimate beforehand & if you list a budget in the submission form, I will do my best to work within that.
DESIGN & PROCESS
In this booking round I am open to taking on medium & large-scale custom projects.
Imagery I’m very excited about:
+abstract shapes, especially forms spanning large scale
++Underworld/Guardian/Journeying imagery: ie. beetles, centipedes, spiders, vultures, cormorants, snakes, jellyfish, eels, poisonous plants
+++I love getting nerdy with animals/plants so feel free to get specific with native flora/fauna!
The only flash I am offering at this time can be found on my Concepts page!
Thank you for your time! I hope we can work together soon!
