I have 3 different day rates; minimum for small sessions are $200, half day sessions (3 or 4 hour available) are $450-600, and full day session are $900.

Minimum rate sessions are for small tattoos.

When getting a custom tattoo from me, everything is designed with your exacting specifications, specifically for your body.

Yes, generally appointments require a $100-300 holding deposit. The deposit can be sent through Venmo, Paypal, or paid in person at the shop.

The deposit secures your appointment date, and goes into the price of the tattoo. I require a 48 hour notice for cancellations and rescheduling. The deposit will only be forfeit if you do not show up for your appointment, have to reschedule without proper notice, or if you decide to cancel the appointment after placing the deposit.

My availabilities vary, send me your schedule in your e-mail and we’ll find some corresponding openings.

Most work is done out of Reflection Tattoo shop in Fountain Valley, CA.

I am available for travel work, and high-end private sessions. Inquire thru e-mail!

On the day of the appointment, you will need to bring a government issued ID, such as a drivers license, passport, or military ID. And a good attitude! 🙂 

Make sure you eat a good meal before getting the tattoo done, and plan for the healing process! After you leave the shop, taking care of your new tattoo and keeping it clean to prevent infection will be your responsibility. A healing tattoo will not get in the way of most jobs, and does not require any time off for recovery. Some jobs that include any amount of swimming, abrasions, or dirty/dusty environments may require the use of a special bandage during the healing process, or may warrant taking a few days off.

Please be patient, I will get back to you as soon as I can. I personally respond to every email I receive. There is a lot that goes into making a good tattoo, and it takes a lot of time to give each client the attention they deserve. If you haven’t received a response within a week, your e-mail has gotten lost and you should send a follow up.

A new tattoo will take about 1-2 weeks to heal. During this time, plan on taking it a little easy for a few days. The area will be sensitive, and you want to avoid contact with the healing area as much as possible. It is best to stay away from the gym, pool, and ocean, as well as keeping the tattoo from being scratched, or scraped. If any of this is a concern due to occupation or other, there are options of using a medical bandage for the entirety of the healing process. Such aftercare is offered for an extra $10, and will allow you to keep the tattoo clean effortlessly until it is healed.
