*My books are now open for Flash, Custom & Cover-up! Please read carefully, especially if you are requesting a custom piece.*

​

General:
 

• I am currently working at Bebop Ink – 3283 Main Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

• You must be 18+ to book a tattoo.

• I typically respond within 1–5 days.

• I do not tattoo other artists’ designs unless permission is given, the artist is happy with me tattooing the piece, and the design resonates with my style.

• I only tattoo a design once, unless specified as “repeatable.” I do not sell my designs for others to get tattooed by different artists.

• Please come alone to your appointment unless you need support.
   

Pricing & Deposits

Flash Designs

• Priced per piece.

• $50–$100 deposit required to secure the appointment.
   

Custom Designs

• Priced at $230/first hour and $200 for each additional hour.

• $50–$100 deposit required to book, depending on the project.
   

Drawing Fee

• A non-refundable drawing fee is required for custom projects, paid in advance on the day of your consultation.

• The fee pays for my drawing time at home and is not discounted at the end of the project.

• Amount varies based on size and intensity: $100 for small one-shot tattoos, up to $500 or more for large pieces.

• Different pricing and approaches are available to suit your needs; details are discussed during consultation.
   

Deposits & Cancellations

• Deposits are non-refundable for no-shows or last-minute cancellations.

• To transfer your deposit for rescheduling, 72 hours notice is required. Less than 72 hours will result in a lost deposit.

• Arriving more than 20 minutes late is considered a cancellation, requiring a new deposit.

• Keep in mind: any alterations at the appointment may affect the price.
   

Appointments & Rescheduling

• First sessions for large-scale projects must be rescheduled at least 1 week in advance; failure to do so will incur a $500 cancellation fee.

• All reschedules require 72 hours notice. For large pieces, half the session amount may be charged if notice is insufficient. One-session tattoos lose the full deposit.

• Free reschedules:

  • 1 reschedule for projects of 4 sessions or less.

  • 2 reschedules for projects of 5 sessions or more.

• Additional reschedules incur fees: $50 first, $100 second, $150 third, etc.

• Please ensure you can commit to your appointments—healing schedules are planned for large projects. Last-minute cancellations are extremely difficult to fill.
   

Custom Requests

• I accept limited custom requests per month.

• Review my recent work to ensure my style aligns with your vision. Requests for designs from years ago may indicate I am not the right artist for your project.

• Provide detailed descriptions and references, ideally screenshots of my previous designs, when submitting your request.

• Upon booking, the design will be finalized on the day of your appointment with a maximum of 2 adjustments. Additional adjustments incur extra charges.

• I also create custom variations of my flash series.
   

Consultations

• Consultations are free and non-binding.

• I focus on Japanese, Black ornamental, Geometric, and contemporary Abstract styles, as well as large backgrounds, floral blackwork, blackwork ornamental, and animals.

• Pre-drawn concepts are available for those who want pieces straight from my style and heart.

• Include approximate size, placement, and general idea, as well as photo references from my work (up to 5 images).

• References from other artists are for example purposes only; I do not copy others’ work.

• I evaluate how well your vision aligns with my style, composition, and darkness to ensure we are a good fit for large-scale projects.

• For cover-ups or blackouts, include well-lit photos of the existing tattoo.

• Drawing fee secures your appointment and is non-refundable, ranging from $150–$500 for single-session tattoos, and $500–$1000 for large-scale projects.

• Pricing is discussed during consultation, not via email. Tattoos are charged per session, not per hour, with an additional drawing fee for the first session.

• Booking a consultation does not guarantee acceptance of your project.

• Missed consultation appointments require 24 hours notice.
   

Tattoo Aftercare

• Remove the protective film gently after 3–5 days in the shower.

• Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream or Vaseline 3–4 times a day; pat gently, do not rub.

• Avoid long or hot showers.

• Keep the tattoo clean and dry, gently patting after rinsing.

• Prevent rubbing against clothing.

• Ensure good ventilation of the tattooed area.

• Let scabs fall off naturally.
   

Infection Signs

• Some redness or inflammation is normal.

• If extreme redness, swelling, or pain occurs, stop applying cream, keep the tattoo dry, and let scabs form naturally.

• For severe inflammation, take an anti-inflammatory medication.

• Unsure? Send a photo to me for advice.
