FLASH TATTOOS
I’m a “flash only” tattooer - which means I work pretty strictly from my flash collection. 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”. 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.
PRICING/Scheduling
To book a tattoo, first choose the city you’re booking for from the list, then find the date and time you’d like on the calendar. Once you have that sorted, and the booking form complete, you’ll be prompted to make a $50 deposit online. That amount goes towards the total cost of your tattoo day of. It is refundable or transferrable up to 72 hours before the originally scheduled appointment time. You can reschedule once per deposit, and are able to do so through the confirmation email sent at booking - or by sending me an email directly

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!
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.
Any pieces that take an hour and a half or more are priced 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!
APPOINTMENT PREPARATION
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!
Eat a good meal and be sure you’re hydrated before your appointment. Hurts less that way!
Try to wear comfy clothes you don’t mind getting some ink on in case we get messy!
If you can remember, bring a water bottle and choice snack along. Ya won’t regret it! ….The real Cozy Guys bring fuzzy blankets.
