chicago booking

This form is for all Chicago booking, now that I live here ♡ I’ll be focused first on scheduling my guest spot at Dwelling Tattoo in Ravenswood from April 14-19. Please fill out this form even if you can’t make those dates- I’ll be scheduling others at a private studio for later in April/May once I know everyone’s availability and how it all fits together.

I have pricing/session guidelines below, and I’ve tried to make them as clear as possible, but if anything is confusing I’ll of course be here to talk it through over email. So stoked 2 be here!

flash

$250-400

Any flash from this page or my instagram highlight (they’re the same, just pick your preference for viewing). Can be up to 7 or 8 inches for the main body/detail of the piece (some pieces have long trailing lines that I would not factor in to that size as they are simple to do). The price range is based both on sliding scale to accommodate your budget, as well as size consideration.

I’m down to make some alterations for flash, but for this first round of booking I will consider flash pieces more “take them as they are” than my normal collaborative process.

Custom requests that are hand sized or smaller would also fall in this range, or super simple abstracts.

half day

$450 - 750

This includes any flash you want to go huge with, any freehand work that isn’t as complex as the work mentioned in the full day section, or any custom requests not included within my flash that are larger than hand sized. Basically most things that aren’t flash or like, take up a whole day! The price range is both for sliding scale and size considerations, but generally anything within that range is great!

Some examples:

freehand spiders and bugs, flowers and other branchy stuff, loose half limb abstractions, angels

full day

$800 - 1100

This is my sliding scale day rate for large work, regardless of complexity- so anything we can get done in a day. This may include a sparse and abstracted full torso or full limb, or something loose spanning the whole body.

Can also include a full half sleeve with a lot of black fill, or the first session of a larger/more complex/heavy blackwork full sleeve or torso project (these generally take 2-3 sessions).

Multi session work does not have to be a full day unless you want it to be and have capacity to sit for this. We can always split it up into "medium" sized chunks instead.

I am always happy to do video consultations beforehand for full day sessions.

For anything that’s not flash:

My work is collaborative and fluid to accommodate the amount of participation someone wants in the design process. Some people want to participate a lot, and some want me to take the reins. I enjoy both ways of working immensely. I take my time, and I ask that for any half or full day work you just come open and ready to have some opinions. I ask a lot of questions! I know how to tattoo and design, but you are the expert on living in your body, so that’s the very important half you bring to this. Thank you for being here!!!
