Booking
This page walks you through how booking works, what to expect, and how to get started. I specialize in Traditional Americana, dotwork, and fineline tattooing. Whether you’re planning a full sleeve or a single meaningful piece, I approach every project with the same level of care and intention.
I grew up around tattooing, literally raised in my dad’s shop, so I know how important it is to feel comfortable and informed before you ever sit in the chair. The goal here is clarity, so the whole process feels easy from start to finish.
How Booking works
A simple process; no pressure, no guessing.
Share what you’re looking for (placement, size, subject, references if you have them). If you’re not sure yet, that’s fine, just tell me what you’re drawn to.
I’ll reply with next steps and any questions I might need answered. For larger projects, this is where we confirm scope and direction before scheduling.
Once we’re aligned, we schedule your first session and lock in a clear plan. I’ll map out the timeline and cost upfront so there are no surprises — just good work on a clear schedule.
We work in sessions with a clear goal each time. The priority is steady progress and a finished piece that ages beautifully. Bold will hold — that’s the standard I was raised on.
What I’m booking
Custom & Large-Scale
This is the heart of what I do, full sleeves, half sleeves, large-format pieces, and multi-session custom work. Whether it’s bold Traditional Americana, intricate dotwork, or delicate fineline, every project is designed as a cohesive piece that reads clean and ages well.
If you’ve been thinking about a bigger piece and want someone who’ll plan it right from the start, you’re in the right place.
Single-Session Tattoos
I also take single-session pieces of American Traditional, Flash, Fineline, Dotwork, or a clean custom design. If you’ve got a clear idea, solid reference, and know where it’s going, we can usually make it happen in one sitting.
Flexible timing helps here since these tend to fill in around my larger projects. First-timers are always welcome, I’ll walk you through everything.
Project Fit
What works best
Best Fit
• Custom work in Traditional Americana, Dotwork, or Fineline (or a mix of styles)
• Clients who want cohesion, background, and flow
• People who can commit to multiple sessions over time
• Clients who value clean design, honest communication, and tattoos that age well
Doesn’t Fit
• Exact replicas of someone else’s tattoo or exact replicas of an AI generated image
• Micro-detail concepts that won’t age well at the requested size
• Photorealism or portraits — that’s just not my lane
• Tight deadlines (it is always better to reach out first and see what is realistically possible)
Pricing & sessions (how I approach it)
I don’t treat tattooing like a checkout process. I want you to know exactly what you’re getting into, timeline, cost, number of sessions, before we start. That’s how my dad ran his shop, and it’s how I run mine.
Larger projects happen over multiple sessions. We’ll talk through pacing, what affects time, and how placement and detail play into the overall plan. No mystery math, just a straight conversation about what your piece needs.
If you want general ranges, those live on the Pricing page.
Next Steps
When you’re ready, use the Tattoo Request Form and send the basics: placement, approximate size, subject matter, and any reference images. If you’re working around Convention dates, check the Travel page for current locations and timing.
I’ll get back to you, ask a few questions if I need to, and we’ll take it from there. No pressure.
