Booking Information
Please find information regarding my tattoo booking process below, to read before completing my booking form.
Sections covered: General info, Studio Location, Placement and Style, Pricing, Deposits and Payments, Delays and Cancellations & Touch ups.
General Booking Information
All my bookings are done through a Jot Forms, the link will be in my bio, as well as this website (‘Book’ tab).
Please refrain from sending me inquiry emails or dms when my bookings are closed.
Flash is my pre-drawn or designed work ready to be tattooed. If you want edits made to the design, be sure to let me know!
Custom designs will be drafted approximately one week before the appointment.
My booking form is for both custom and flash designs.
I only do flashes or custom projects. Flashes will be prioritised, and Custom projects will be selectively chosen based on if my style matches your vision, and availability.
I will only be accepting work on the days offered on the booking form. Once you have submitted the form, please allow up to two weeks for me to reply.
I do not replicate or copy designs from other artists, or replicate references. I accept designs that have a pre-drawn or idea (eg. family drawing, another artworks), but always work to make them customised.
Location
I now work out of a cozy shared private studio located in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. It is easily accessible by public transport, and 5-10 mins from the CBD. Specific address will be provided after appointment is set up and confirmed and deposit is paid.
Please refrain from sharing address as the studio is private :) This protects my privacy, and yours.
Styles and Placements
Please note I only accept these placements:
Forearm, bicep, shoulder
Ribcage and side of torso
Back
Thigh, calfs and shin.
I no longer accept placements on the stomach, neck, face/ears, hands, knees and joints and any other areas not listed.
My styles include:
Realism (small and large pieces)
Fineline illustrative (‘messy’ fineline, some minimal shading)
Darker illustrative (thicker and bolder linework)
Realism and portrait work is my preferred style, so I will generally prioritise these enquiries.
I no longer accept simplistic or delicate fineline, colour pieces or monotone works (all red/brown etc.). I don’t accept works in a distinct cultural style that requires specialist consideration and input. Please always do your research when choosing an artist and design!
Pricing Guide
I quote per design.
Please note this is a guide estimate, and the pricing will vary depending on size, placement and style of the tattoo. All pricing is in AUD, and accounts for tattoo time, as well as time spent on design, materials and set up. Prices currently include GST, and your deposit will be included in the quote/final price. When quoting I will give a price range, this will remain fixed unless there is changes made to the stated design and size.
My current single day rate (5 or more of hours tattooing) is $1400
My half day (3-4 hours of tattooing) sits at $800-1000
My hourly sits between $200-300 for designs less than four hours.
My minimum is $350. My minimum rate will change (and be displayed here), as is reflective of my booking demand and availability.
Two or more full day sessions rate: $1300 per day
If you are asking for a large tattoo to be completed in an unreasonable timeframe (ie. a leg sleeve completed in a day), I will have to suggest an alternative, or won't go through with the tattoo. Tattooing is a highly physical job, and I need to protect my body so I can continue to put art on yours!
Deposit Policy
A deposit is required to secure the date of your tattoo, and will be deducted off the final tattoo price. Deposits are made after dates are selected and design is accepted.
Deposits range from $50-350 depending on the estimated quote of your tattoo.
Deposits are non-transferable and non-refundable—with the exceptions as outlined below:
In the unlikely event that the artist (me) cancels a booking, your deposit will be returned.
In the case that the artist has to delay or reschedule a booking, your deposit will then be able to be transferred.
Payments
All on-day payments and deposits will be made via card payment or PayID transfer (debit or credit).
I do not accept cash payments.
Delays, Reschedules and Cancellations
Please do not be afraid to reach out if you need to reschedule or cancel! Everything is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so of course these rules may not apply in exceptional circumstances .
Reschedules: You are able to reschedule once, with transferring the deposit. If an appointment has to be rescheduled more than once, the deposit will be forfeit, and a new deposit will need to be paid.
Cancellations: If you (the client) cancels the appointment, your deposit will be forfeit.
Artist delay/rescheduling: In the unlikely event that the artist (me) reschedules or cancels a booking (if I am sick, or have an emergency), your deposit will be fully refunded. In the case that the artist has to delay or reschedule a booking, your deposit will then be able to be transferred.
No shows: Please always give notice and reason—life happens to all of us! I appreciate communication. In the case of a no-show, your deposit will be forfeit, and I may not book with you again.
Lateness: If you are more than 30 minutes late, your deposit will be forfeit. We will likely need to reschedule, but a new deposit will be paid.
Running Overtime
If a session runs overtime due to needing more breaks, or the tattoo is taking longer than expected, there is no overtime fee.
If changes are made to the tattoo design, size or placement on day, both timing and pricing of the tattoo will be subject to change accordingly.
Touch Ups
I offer one free touch up session per tattoo, unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon.
Disclaimers
PS. for first timers: I am SO honoured if you have chosen me or want to inquire about your first tattoo! I understand how scary a first tattoo can be, and please feel free to ask as many questions later in the booking form as you need.
