When will your bookings re-open?

My last Open Bookings date was Sunday, May 3, 2026. 100 proposals were received at that time, and I'll be responding to everyone in the coming weeks. Books are closed until a new Open Bookings date is announced. Sign up for my Mailing List to get detailed info and the latest updates.

 

Is there any way to get a tattoo from you outside of Open Booking periods?

Not Currently.

Where are you located?
My home base is Seattle, WA, but I also tattoo regularly in Los Angeles, CA. In both locations I work out of licensed private studios (locations disclosed with confirmation of appointment).

 

Can you tattoo a design in your style, based on another artist's work?

I only tattoo original art that I create myself, I don’t copy or redraw the work of other artists. While I can use a piece of art as a loose reference to craft something unique for you, the final design will differ enough from any reference to avoid being a copy or knockoff.

 

Do you offer full-color tattoos in your style?

I specialize in black ink with the occasional minimal color accent, I don't do full-color work.

 

Is it okay for me to have another artist copy one of your designs so I can have it too? Do you sell designs that you’ve already done for other clients?

When I design a custom tattoo for a client it is for them only, and I would never want to have it copied for anyone else. Please respect other people's rights to have an original piece of work, and consider a unique design for yourself.

 

I live far away from you, can I commission you to create artwork for me and have it tattooed by another artist?

It doesn't align with my practice to create designs that I won't personally tattoo. However, if you're interested in commissioned artwork for other purposes, I'm more than happy to discuss that with you (see question below).

 

Can I commission you to create non-tattoo artwork for me?

Yes, I'm always happy to receive inquiries for commissioned artwork not intended for tattooing.

 

Should I tip?

It's customary (though not required) to tip your artist if you’re satisfied with your tattoo and the service you receive. A gratuity of 10-20% of the total cost, including the deposit, is industry standard. However, any token of gratitude is appreciated.

I’m a returning client, do the same hourly rates as last time apply?
As base costs and inflation continues to fluctuate, my hourly rates are subject to change. For clients with ongoing projects, the hourly rate quoted when you put in your deposit remains the same as long as you book additional sessions within three months of each other. Any past work that falls outside of a three month period with no sessions booked are subject to periodic rate changes.

 

What if I have an appointment but I'm not feeling well?

For your well-being and the safety of others, I won't tattoo anyone who is sick, showing symptoms of illness, or contagious in any way. If you show up to your appointment and you're ill or showing symptoms I’ll ask you to come back when you're better. So if you're not feeling well for any reason please stay home, rest up, and reschedule your appointment after you're fully recovered.

 

Are you planning to travel to other cities soon?

My primary studio is Alleged Arts in Seattle, WA. I will also be tattooing on a regular basis in Los Angeles. Any additional travel updates will be announced on my mailing list and on Instagram as soon as they're finalized.

 

Do you have prints or other artwork for sale?

I occasionally offer prints, limited edition artwork, apparel and accessories for sale exclusively at my online shop.

 

Can I get an apprenticeship from you?

At the moment, I am not accepting apprentices. There’s a wealth of valuable information available online on how to get an apprenticeship or get started tattooing safely. If you choose not to pursue an apprenticeship, or one isn’t available to you, please at least consider undertaking basic bloodborne pathogens training before starting out.
