Hand poked tattoos are done manually with the same tools (needles/ink) used in machine based tattooing— but done dot-to-dot by hand. This technique often tends to feel less painful than traditional tattooing and has a much easier healing process.

For flash, I charge $150 as a minimum for tattoos & as my hourly rate. For customs, I charge a minimum of $200 (piece dependant) and an hourly of $150.

• My hourly rate is for tattoo time + a 5 min break/hour for both of us.

• For body contouring, or collaborative flash (hands, flowers, etc) the hourly rate includes drawing/planning time, stenciling, along with tattoo time + a 5 min/break for both of us.

• For custom pieces, drawing time/fee is charged in advance of the appointment.

Things that affect tattooing time;

• Colour/fill; black ink tends to tattoo faster!

• Placement; some parts of the body have stretchier skin that increases tattooing time.

• Size/Intricacy; the larger the piece or finer the details, the more time will need to be taken tattooing. This can mean that a small, detailed piece can take longer than a simpler, larger piece.

Handpoked tattoos are 100% permanent. Barring any hand/foot placements known for faster fading, just like machine based tattoos— hand poked tattoos are here to stay!

I post flash regularly on instagram, and always have a story highlight of available pieces. Additionally, I also am currently open for custom requests!

The more detailed your booking request is, the more accurately I am able to book in your appointment and provide you with a quote.

• come hydrated & fed (you can always bring snacks to eat during breaks in longer sessions)

• avoid drinking alcohol the day before & get a good night’s sleep.

• stay well exfoliated and moisturized as long as two weeks beforehand, hydrated skin is infinitely easier to tattoo!

• bring comfortable dark, loose clothing that allows for easy access to the area being tattooed— you can always change when you arrive.

I generally get clients to book time slots for the amount of time I estimate it will take to complete the tattooing. Therefore your appointment slot will also come with a general quote.

Tattoos are an art and not a science, when making plans, please account for the additional time needed for a consultation, stenciling, breaks (yours or mine) etc and do not make plans immediately after your tattoo appointment. It’s not the kind of service that can be rushed!

Everything you need to know is listed here!

Skin takes 4 weeks to heal, handpokes tend to “feel” healed much sooner, but your skin needs a full 4 weeks to be completely healed. So, give it some time to do it’s thing, follow the instructions in that link and be kind to your skin <3

Touch ups are free on all tattoos between one month to one year of being tattooed. Please email me with a clear photo of the tattoo in natural lighting with your request.

Please note, touch ups for tattoos done on the feet, hands and fingers are subject to charge.

• What’s the best way to contact me? Email! Myself or my assistant will respond to you during business hours. Do not send follow up emails, or DMs.

• Are tips expected? Tips aren’t expected, but are very much appreciated. Generally clients tip between 10%-20% the cost of the tattoo. Some clients prefer to tip in goods/crafts/gifts instead of monetary gifts and that’s always a special treat too (but again, not expected).

• Please bear in mind that tattooing does require a great deal of focus and I cannot multitask guidance to clients who are interested in pursuing tattooing.
