I am a licensed tattoo artist working out of a private studio at Saint and Sinners in Portland, Oregon. I accept both flash and custom appointments. To book with me, please read my FAQ and booking information below and then follow the link to my booking form!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where is the shop?
2448 SE 89th Ave, Suite 1, Portland OR 97216. The front door of the shop is not on Division, you enter from the parking lot side! Parking is free and readily available.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash is strongly preferred, but I also accept payment through Venmo and other cash transfer apps. There is not an ATM on site and I rarely carry change, so a combination of cash/Venmo is also totally fine! I also accept cards with a small transaction fee.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Once you submit a booking inquiry, I can give you a price range for your specific tattoo based on its location, level of detail/color and size. My hourly rate is $150 and my minimum price for a tattoo is $120. The minimum price is for tattoos that are small and take less than an hour.
Can I tip you?
Tips are always appreciated! Tattoo artists spend many unpaid hours designing tattoos, responding to emails, and doing marketing and booking (and we have to buy health insurance on the market, lol). A tip is a much appreciated sign that you recognize our hard work!
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Get a good night’s sleep, eat a good meal before coming in, and make sure you are well hydrated. Taking aspirin or drinking heavily within the 24 hour period before your tattoo can affect its appearance and is discouraged.
Is there anything you won’t/can’t tattoo?
I will not do tribal or tribal-inspired tattoos on non-Native people. This includes cybergoth/neo-tribal.
I prefer not to tattoo complex geometric designs/mandalas or black and grey fine-line florals simply because I don’t find it enjoyable to design those types of pieces. That being said, I have many trusted tattoo artist friends in Portland who love doing tattoos of both of those things and I am always happy to refer you to any of them!
Booking Information:
If you’re interested in getting a tattoo from me, please follow the link below and fill out the booking form! Once your booking request is submitted, I will send you a followup email with potential appointment dates/times. When we have a confirmed appointment time, I will send you instructions on how to pay your deposit.
Cancellations and Deposits
A non-refundable deposit that goes towards the cost of your tattoo is required to hold your appointment. If you need to reschedule, email me and as long as you give me a minimum of 48 hours notice, I can reschedule you without you losing your deposit. Rescheduling your appointment more than one time, canceling your appointment within 48 hours or missing your appointment will result in you forfeiting your deposit, and another deposit will be required to book a new appointment. No call/no shows will not be rebooked. The deposit amount is based on the overall price of your tattoo; for particularly elaborate custom pieces I may require a drawing fee as well, but those occasions are rare. If we settle on an appointment date/time and I do not receive your deposit within 72 hours, I will assume we do not have an appointment scheduled. Prompt payment of deposits is appreciated as it helps me manage my schedule efficiently!
Your deposit goes towards the cost of your tattoo, and when you put down a deposit you are reserving a time slot that I have allotted for the specific design you chose. I cannot accommodate changes to flash designs on the day of your tattoo; if you would like modifications made to a design, please put that in your initial booking request and we can discuss it before you send me your deposit! Along the same lines, if you put down a deposit for a flash tattoo and decide after the fact that you want to change designs completely or switch to a custom design, I will likely need to reschedule you. If you have second thoughts on what design you’d like, please let me know as far in advance as possible so that I can make an effort to accommodate you. I cannot guarantee your original appointment if you decide to switch designs, but I will try to avoid cancellations on my end whenever possible.
Touchups
I offer a free touchup on all tattoos except work done below the wrist, below the ankle, and above the collar, which require a small setup fee. These specific locations often require additional maintenance and are prone to falling out and fading, which is something I always discuss with clients before tattooing them in those spots. In order to receive your free touchup, you must schedule it within four months of your original appointment. The purpose of a touchup is to restore any elements of the original tattoo that may have faded or fallen out during the healing process; additions or alterations to an existing design do not qualify as touchups and require a normal appointment.
My cancellation policy also applies to touchups! I do not take deposits for these appointments since they are free, but if you reschedule/cancel your touchup with less than 48 hours notice, you will need to pay a setup fee for your rescheduled appointment. Rescheduling more than once, regardless of the amount of notice given, will also result in a setup fee. I offer touchups for free because I want my work to look as good as possible, but if I schedule a touchup and then get cancelled on last minute, I lose the opportunity to schedule someone for a regular appointment. Thanks for understanding :)
