Premium Custom Tattoos

Text (260) 364-4350 with your tattoo idea, preferred placement, size estimate, and any reference images you have, or fill out the booking form on this website. I review every request personally and will get back to you within 2–3 business days to discuss your project and schedule your appointment.

My hourly rate is $120 with a $200 shop minimum. Larger pieces and full sessions may be quoted as flat-rate projects depending on complexity. Final pricing is always discussed before we start so there are no surprises. Quality work takes time, and I don’t rush.

Yes. A non-refundable deposit of 25% your project’s value is required to secure your appointment. This deposit goes directly toward the final cost of your tattoo. Deposits are forfeited for no-shows or cancellations with less than 48 hours notice. I block out significant time for each client, so I take scheduling seriously.

• Get a good night’s sleep before your appointment
• Eat a full meal 1–2 hours before your session
• Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
• Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area
• Bring snacks and entertainment for longer sessions
• Moisturize the area in the days leading up (but not day-of)

Proper aftercare is crucial for healing. Here are the basics:

Saniderm Method

• Leave Saniderm on for 3–5 days — you can shower normally, it’s waterproof
• Fluid buildup under the bandage (ink, blood, plasma) is normal — leave it alone
• Remove in the shower using warm water to loosen the adhesive — peel slowly, don’t pull up
• Wash gently with unscented antibacterial soap, pat dry with a paper towel
• Apply a thin layer of unscented, petroleum-free moisturizer
• Skin may still be healing beneath the surface for up to 6 months — moisturize daily

Traditional Method

• Remove bandage after 3 hours, wash immediately with unscented antibacterial soap and warm water
• Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub, never use a cloth towel
• Wash 2–3 times daily and apply a thin layer of unscented lotion after each wash
• Do not pick, scratch, or peel — let it flake naturally
• Avoid swimming, soaking, and direct sunlight for 2–3 weeks
• Wear loose clothing over the area to avoid friction while healing

You’ll receive detailed written aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Yes, I take on cover-ups and reworks if I can cover it up. Every cover-up is different, so include clear photos of the existing tattoo in your booking inquiry. I’ll assess whether it’s a good candidate and discuss the best approach for your situation. Some pieces require more creative solutions than others. If I am not able to achieve this cover up for you I will communicate that with you and recommend another route.

I accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, and all major credit cards. Your deposit is required to book the appointment, with the remaining balance due on the day of your session. Large projects can be split across multiple sessions with payment due at each sitting.

One guest is welcome if you need the support. Let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. The studio is a focused environment, so guests may need to step out during longer sessions. No drop-ins or crowds — it’s about you and the work.
