SWAMP BLOSSOM
How To Make an Appointment
Everyone Is Welcome
Thank you for your interest in my work. I am now taking appointments at my private studio SQUISH in Portland, OR. I will still be at Icon tattoo once a month. Read below for more information on booking.
Important Info
I am appointment only. Priority is always given to my pre-drawn(flash) designs. My prices tend to vary according to piece. I charge anywhere from 600 to 800 for a 3-5 hour session. Smaller pieces(within an hour or so) range from 200 to 250. A typical session is usually about 3 hours- I tattoo pretty fast so we can often get a lot done in this time.
This is based on my increased hourly of 200. However I can usually offer wiggle room for flash and similar. Sometimes I will take a cut in price if I’m really excited about a project. I will be sure to communicate what my limits are and whether or not waiting may be a better option. I try to keep my prices accessible, but behind the scenes costs keep shimmying their way up every year. Just be transparent with me and I can let you know if its better to wait and save or not. I do occasionally have “tiny” flash days where I offer discounted prices of 120 to 200 for pre-drawn pieces around 2-3 inches(those dates are posted on Instagram).
I may turn your project down for a multitude of creative reasons, but never because of what you look like or who you are. I want to see more diversity in this industry. Growth will only come with communication and designing spaces with everyone in mind. Always feel free to communicate anything with me that you are fearful or skeptical of. This passion of mine has turned into way more than a job because of all the amazing folks getting tattooed, sharing my work and spreading the word. Thank you for being a part of this process.
I am cash only. The paper kind
If you are nervous, that is totally normal. I try my best to make it a cozy experience. Always feel free to be honest with me about my practice, your fears and worries. Ask me literally any question! Your feelings matter and it’s very important to me to listen.
Tattoos are pretty low on the pain spectrum of life and they often require a mind over matter approach. That’s not to say they don’t hurt! Everyone experiences pain differently, but I always remind everyone that the pain is temporary. If you have any concerns, please voice them and I will communicate with you about the procedure in more detail. I created a info-graphic of suggestions to help with pain on an Instagram highlight labeled “tips”.
Consultations & How to Make an Appointment
Just send me an email to ask any questions. If you are requesting an appt, you must fill out the form on my contact page. I prefer to do all of my consulting and booking via email. Due to the amount of custom requests, I have to turn projects down. I wish I could tattoo everyone, but I have to keep my priorities and goals in mind as well.
I take deposits. They are anywhere from $50 t0 $150. Deposits are non-refundable, even when the appt is cancelled. They may be transferred to one reschedule if it is rescheduled before 48 hours. I understand life happens, but please be considerate of my time.
Art Fee
The only times I take an art fee is if the design requires more drawing time (sleeves, back pieces, or extensive customization during the drawing process). This rarely happens.
If you have any other concerns, please let me know and check out the new prints!
Refer to Aftercare in the Menu options for what to do before and after your session.
