If your city isn’t on this list and you’d like to get tattooed by me, please email me at az.inkz.tt@gmail.com!
How much will my tattoo cost?
Every tattoo and client is different, so the total price of a tattoo varies depending on the desired design and placement. It is not possible to determine the price of a tattoo without knowing the scope and content of the project.
To receive an estimate for your tattoo, please fill out my booking inquiry form and I’ll get back to you shortly.
I offer 2 Pay-What-You-Can Community Rate appointments per month for clients who typically do not have the financial flexibility to be tattooed by me, especially BIPOC, queer, trans, and disabled community members. Read the details here.
Community Rate appointments are full for 2026.
How to book with me:
1. Fill out my booking form — Help me see your vision if you have one in mind! If your concept is still in the emerging stages, tell me about it so we can brainstorm and bring it to life together.
2. Wait for my reply — I’ll respond to your form by email within 2 weeks. I respond to every request I receive, so if you haven’t received a response after 2 weeks, please send me an email at az.inkz.tt@gmail.com.
In my reply email, I’ll share any thoughts I have about your design, give you a price estimate, and ask any additional questions I have.
3. Send your deposit –– Once we’ve discussed the details of your tattoo and you decide you’d like to move forward, a $200* deposit is required to reserve an appointment and begin the design process. The deposit is nonrefundable and will be subtracted from the final cost of the tattoo. If the tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be subtracted from the final session.
Once an appointment date is agreed upon, the date will be held for 24 hours to allow for the deposit to be sent. After 24 hours, if no deposit has been made, the appointment date will be released and made available to other customers.
*Large scale pieces may require a larger deposit, up to $400.
4. You’re booked! — When I receive your deposit, I’ll send an email to officially confirm your appointment!
