WHAT I’M CURRENTLY FOCUSING ON
My work is currently focused on:
Large-scale Japanese tattooing-Sleeves, back pieces, bodysuits, and other larger projects rooted in Japanese tattooing.
Smaller Japanese & American Traditional tattoos that allow me to explore the imagery, composition, and techniques that I enjoy most.
I prioritize projects that align with this focus so I can give each client the attention, expertise, and time their tattoo deserves.
START A PROJECT
Let’s talk about what you’re thinking and see if we’re a good fit.
My goal with every tattoo I take on, is to understand what you’re looking for, help you make the right decisions, and create something that feels personal to you.
I prefer to work by dedicated tattoo sessions rather than strict hourly rates. This allows me to focus on the tattoo itself rather than watching the clock.
HOW IT WORKS
01 -TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
The first step is to complete my project intake form.
This gives me a better understanding of what you’re looking for and helps me determine whether your project is a good fit for my current focus and the way I work.

02 -I’LL REVIEW YOUR PROJECT
For larger or more involved projects, we’ll take the time to discuss the concept, placement, symbolism, and overall direction before scheduling your tattoo.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Part of my job is helping you work through those decisions.
03 -SCHEDULE YOUR SESSION
Once we’ve agreed on the direction of your project, we’ll schedule your appointments and collect the appropriate deposit.
From there, I’ll take care of the design process and prepare your tattoo for the day of your session.
04-YOUR DESIGN
I create your design close to your appointment, often the day before or the morning of your session.
This design process allows me to give each project my full attention rather than locking a design in too far ahead of time.
You’ll see your design when you arrive for your session, and we’ll take the time to make adjustments if needed.
If substantial changes are needed beyond what we can reasonably address on the day, we’ll reschedule so the tattoo can be properly resolved before we begin.(One redesign is included with your booking.)
This approach allows the design to remain thoughtful and considered without turning the process into an endless cycle of revisions.
05-EARLY PREVIEW
If you’d prefer to see your design before your appointment, an Early Preview is available for a $100 surcharge.
This allows me to move your design into an earlier stage of my workflow and gives you the opportunity to review it ahead of your session.
For clients who are comfortable trusting the process, the standard design timeline remains the best way for me to work.

DEPOSITS
A non-refundable deposit of $100–$700 is required to secure your booking. The amount depends on the size and scope of your project.
For multi-session projects, the deposit is applied to the final session.
Deposits are tied to the project discussed when booking. If the concept changes substantially, a new deposit is required.
RESCHEDULING & LATENESS
I understand that things come up. If you need to reschedule, please give me as much notice as possible.
Less than 48 hours' notice or a no-show will result in the loss of your deposit.
If you arrive more than 20 minutes late, a late fee may apply, or your session may need to be shortened or rescheduled depending on the circumstances.
The original session rate still applies.
These policies allow me to protect the time set aside for your project and keep the booking process fair to everyone.
PAYMENT
Cash is preferred.
I also accept e-transfer and Square.
