Booking Information

Pricing

I have a minimum charge of $250 per appointment including deposit ($200 day of). This minimum is set to ensure I’m able to cover my commute costs, booth rental, material costs, and the unpaid time I spend drawing and doing admin work to make appointments possible. Please keep in mind tattooers often only keep 50%- 60%of what you pay.

Beyond the $250 minimum charge, I work at $180 an hour. I prefer not to tattoo more than 3 hours at a time, for my sake and for yours. That said, I max out a $540 per appointment. Please let me know in your booking form if you’re working with a specific budget between the $250 minimum and $540 max. I’m not offended!

What we can accomplish in a session depends largely on detail, sizing, placement, and your preferred budget for the session. Some folks get a couple smaller, more simple pieces done in one session. Others choose one design that takes the entire allotted time. Certain larger projects might require multiple sessions. If you’d like a price guesstimate for any specific piece, feel free to drop a note with the design you have in mind, an approximate size in inches, and the placement you’re hoping for, and I’ll do my best to give ya a ballpark!

Tipping is always appreciated if your cup floweth over, however, I’m not at all offended by a hard budget. You’re safe to pay the flat rate if that’s what feels most comfortable for ya. Again, feel free to note any hard budget you’re working with in your booking form. happy to work with ya!

Please Note: The information to make a $55 deposit will be included as a note in your confirmation email if your appointment request is approved. Please be sure to make your deposit within 24 hours of booking or else your appointment may be cancelled and offered to the next person in line!

Keep watch for a response within the week. If your request is approved, you’ll receive a follow up appointment confirmation email with your confirmed date, time, and appointment location. ((check your spam folder if you’re tapping your toe! my responses seem to end up there half the time)) You will be prompted to place a $55 non-refundable deposit that goes towards drawing and correspondence time. This amount will not be counted towards the cost of your tattoo session day of. The information to make the deposit will be included as a note in the confirmation email. Please be sure to make your deposit within 24 hours of booking or else your appointment may be cancelled and offered to the next person in line!

I will work with you via email to get the design settled. I will likely send you a very rough first draft, with the main goal being to hash out general content and composition. This will be your chance to make any major notes or adjustments in those areas. The second draft should be the final version, though we’ll still check in for any final notes or tiny tweaks we might want to make day of. This version will find you within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time.

Flash Tattoos

In case ya aren’t familiar with the term “flash” - it refers to a tattooer’s collection of ready-made designs, drawn with the intention of being tattooed as is. However, I am willing to make minor adjustments within reason (i.e - color vs. black & gray, omitting/adding text, using only part of a design, etc.) Dont be shy to inquire if you’d like to see something tweaked! I will let you know honestly whether or not I feel it compromises the integrity of the tattoo.

You can find my current menu of flash options here. As you scroll the collection, feel free to grab screenshots of pieces you like - there will be a prompt to attach an image should you go on to book. You don’t have to be fully settled on a design when you show up - I’m happy to help with sizing/placement/design choice day of if that sounds helpful to ya!

Rescheduling/Cancellations

In regard to cancelling/rescheduling; Any reason is an okay reason to cancel or reschedule a tattoo. Waking up on the day of your scheduled appointment and not feeling up for it is absolutely valid, and a perfectly fine reason to do something different with your day. Worst case scenario - you forfeit $50 and we try again another time. Whatever you do; follow your heart!

Appointment Preparation

1. Feel free to bring a friend along for the session! It can be a nice comfort/distraction. But also maybe have them bring a book and a snack in case you’re rendered speechless - ‘cause it could also be a bit boring for them!

2. Eat a good meal and be sure you’re hydrated before your appointment. Hurts less that way!

3. Try to wear comfy clothes you don’t mind getting some ink on in case we get messy!

4. If you can remember, bring a water bottle and choice snack along. Ya won’t regret it! ….The real Cozy Guys bring fuzzy blankets.
