Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I am currently working out of the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles! The exact address is only given to clients that are booked for an appointment!
I'm always looking to do guest spot work in other cities as well, so feel free to let me know where you’d like to see me do one!
Do you only do anime/ manga style tattoos?
Anime and manga style have definitely been my focus recently, I’d love to do more comic and video game characters as well! We can always discuss ideas, and if I don’t feel comfortable taking on the project, I’ll be sure to recommend someone who is better suited for it.
Do you do custom designs or only images from anime/manga?
Id love to hear your custom ideas! I am an artist after all, I’m definitely open to doing a custom drawing. I really enjoy making tattoos that fit the anatomy of the wearer. If a tattoo accentuates the body, I believe it elevates not only the art but also the body.
How do you decide pricing?
My tattoos are priced by the hour, at a rate of $150 per hour (Guest spot pricing varies). For ALL appointments, i have a $300 minimum.I only charge for tattoo time, I don’t charge for setup or taking breaks or even drawing your tattoo. I choose to do my pricing by the hour because it prevents me under/overbidding tattoo prices. Not all skin is the same, moisture levels as well as placement can be factors as too how long a tattoo will take.
Is Tipping necessary?
Tipping is always appreciated, but not required. If you had a good experience during your tattoo, many people tip their artist as a thank you. Tip doesn’t have to be extra cash, it can be anything! People have brought me food, snacks, manga comics, collectibles, even art!
Do I need to send a deposit?
A one-time, non-refundable deposit ($50) is necessary in order to book your appointment. The deposit will secure the date and time of your appointment and is absolutely necessary, no exceptions. The deposit goes towards the total cost of the tattoo. I usually use Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Pay. However if there is another way to accommodate you just let me know! The deposit is paid for after I reply to you via your preferred method, so make sure to have the deposit ready within the week of making a booking.
The deposit is subject to forfeiture if the appointment is canceled, and another deposit will be required if too short of a notice is given (1 week minimum) to reschedule (Your original deposit is forfeited in this instance).
How can I contact you?
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message me on Instagram for the fastest response. If it is something that can wait, put it in the comments section of the booking form.
What if i’m late for my appointment?
If you’re running late, it’s best to let me know as soon as you realize! I give clients a 15 minute grace period for their appointment, but anything later than that will result in a forfeiture of deposit, which means you’ll have to cover the deposit amount the day of. It’s best to plan for the day and not be late so it doesn’t get awkward for either of us.
