Please see my Instagram highlights or click here to see flash, which I can make minor edits to.
Art that excites me includes surrealism, abstract, queer/trans subjects, pointillism/dotwork, nature and science, filipino and germanic folklore/mythology. I love taking a being or concept and distorting or mystifying it. I am not interested in realism, text only (unless it is fun/abstract and/or accompanied by an image), nor fine line at this time. You can fill out the booking form with a description of the custom and any reference photos. Happy to tattoo your own art piece if it's within my interest and ability!
Perhaps you have a poem, a shape, a feeling, an experience, or story you want to have expressed and embodied through tattooing. We can hold a 30-minute session together (in-person or virtually) where we explore these underlying substances and co-create your tattoo.
Pricing
As of November 1st, 2023 my minimum is $100. Pricing is sliding scale in solidarity with economic justice, and is not to be seen as a discount but an opportunity for resource equity. For now, I utilize the Green Bottle theory by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. A $20 deposit that goes towards tattoo cost is required to book. A drawing fee is applicable for customs. Full payment occurs after the tattoo is finished. I accept cash or zelle.
Flash is sliding-scale cost. It will be determined by size + placement agreed upon during your booking. If you'd like significant changes day of, we can discuss cost adjustments.
Customs are $120 minimum and sliding scale $60-80/hr after the first hour. A drawing fee of $20 is required.
Custom Imagination Sessions (on pause while something is brewing)
I am also interested in trades of goods/services. Email or dm me to inquire.
Both monetary and gift-based tips are welcome but not necessary (I'm gluten free and plant-based for reference :p )
Reciprocity Commitment: For every 4 sliding-scale accessed tattoos in the Four Directions series, i will tattoo this offering on Indigenous, Palestinian, Black, and/or diasporic bodies of culture* for free, with priority to folks at the interweaving(s) of transness/queerness & disability. This is in recognition of my privilege as white-bodied person in an industry (and society) that has been commodified by white supremacy and capitalism, and in solidarity to folks most impacted by these systems. Check the box in the tattoo booking form if you would like this offering. I trust this is something you need - no questions asked. I will confirm you are on a waitlist then reach out to you once 4 regularly priced tattoos have been booked.
