I’M A TATTOOER AND PAINTER LIVING AND WORKING IN BROOKLYN, NY. I SPECIALIZE IN BOTH ONE-POINT AND BODYSUIT STYLE TRADITIONAL JAPANESE DESIGNS
FOR ALL PEOPLE.
LOCATION:
I work full-time in Brooklyn, NY in a private studio. I travel 2-3 times a year to my former home Studio Kazoku in San Francisco, CA.
PRICING:
All appointments for multiple session tattoos are booked in increments of 2, 3, 4 or 6 hours with a cash base price of $250 per hour. Single session tattoos will be given a price based on design and placement. Non cash payments (Zelle or Venmo) will be charged an additional 20% that is inclusive of all taxes and fees plus a mandatory included gratuity. All price estimates for single session tattoos are quoted at the cash rate.

3 hour session: $750 cash/ $900 zelle, venmo
4 hour session: $1000 cash/ $1200 zelle, venmo
6 hour session: $1500 cash/ $1800 zelle, venmo (non cash fee waived for deposit/ first appointment)
DEPOSITS:
A nonrefundable deposit will be taken for all appointments based on the size of the tattoo and session length and will be applied to the final price of the tattoo. 6 hour tattoos sessions will require a payment in full ($1500) at the time of booking. For multiple session tattoos, the deposit will be applied to the last session.
single sitting one-point or flash: $100-$250 deposit based on size
2-3 hour sessions: $250 deposit
4 hour sessions: $500 deposit
6 hour sessions: $1500 deposit (deposit will roll-over if multiple 6 hour sessions are booked)
Deposits are good for a 6 month period. If no communication has been made and no appointments are booked during this time for continued work a new deposit will be required.
Please communicate with me if you need to put your project on hold to avoid losing your deposit.
Multiple sessions tattoos booked for travel dates will require a $350 deposit: $100 to be applied to the upcoming session, and $250 to be applied to the final session of your tattoo. Each additional date booked will require a $100 deposit to be applied toward that session.
BOOKING POLICY:
A consultation is required for all large scale work, if you are traveling this can be done virtually. For large work multiple appointments will be scheduled upon initial booking. My current wait time is 1-3 months, last minute availability is posted on Instagram. Please use my booking form for new inquires.
PAYMENT:
Cash is the preferred method of payment. Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle can be accepted as payment and will be charged an additional 20% that is inclusive of all taxes, fees and a mandatory included gratuity. All quoted prices are given at the cash rate. Payment cannot be split between cash/ non cash.
GRATUITY:
Tipping is always appreciated but not an expectation. I charge what I believe is a fair rate for my work regardless of tips. A mandatory gratuity is automatically included for all non cash payments. If you would like to avoid this extra charge please bring cash to your session.
CANCELLATION:
Cancellations and reschedules must be given 48 hours notice or a new deposit will be required. These must be made by calling the shop or emailing me directly. Last minute notice or requests submitted through DMs will not be honored.
Cancelations made within less than 48 hours will require a new deposit of $250 to rebook or continue ongoing appointments.
No call/ no show will require full payment for the appointment to continue booking ANY future appointments.
Consecutive no call/ no show will no longer be able to book appointments with me regardless of how far along your tattoo is.
DESIGN & PROCESS:
While some sketching on the skin with markers can be done during the consultation, all drawings are prepared for the day of the appointment only. Some designs are stenciled on while others are drawn on freehand. I do not send out artwork prior to the appointment. If you are unsure of what you want I recommend picking something from my flash.
OTHER STYLES:
If you have a question about something you don’t see—just ask. If I can do the design requested I would be happy to. If I think someone else can do it better I will let you know.
COVER-UPS & UNFINISHED WORK:
I will take on cover-ups on a case-by-case basis if I feel strongly that I can accomplish the tattoo to the desired outcome. Often some amount of lasering to lighten the original tattoo will achieve the best result. While I prefer tattooing my own designs, I can always look at unfinished work if it is no longer possible to get tattooed by the original artist.
PRIVACY:
Appropriate clothing to wear during your tattoo appointment can be discussed during the consultation to ensure both your privacy and comfort, and my ability to tattoo you. A private changing area can be provided upon arrival to your appointments.
I ask for consent to photograph your tattoo and share it to social media. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
