how to book:
Please fill out my request form above. i am only in the shop wednesday-saturday and can only schedule within those days.
flash:
all flash is repeatable unless marked otherwise and can be viewed ahead of time or on the day of your appointment. please be aware, some designs may have been added or removed by your date - if you’d like to claim a design, please specify in the form above and i’ll do my best to accommodate. i am happy to modify any design to fit your needs/available space.
pricing:
I price based on size, whether color is being applied and placement. our shop minimum is $100 (plus tax) regardless of how small/quick the final piece is. a good general estimate for my pricing: (palm sized) 3x3” color $200 / black and grey $150 (hand sized) 3x7” color $460 / black and grey $350 (plus tax) full color back or front torso pieces will not exceed $2,000 at this time. — i want this industry to be as accessible as possible - if you’ve got a specific budget please let me know and i’ll do my best to design to it!
payment:
deposits are taken via email/online payment. they are $100 and will be applied to you're final balance on the day of your appointment. if multiple sessions are needed (i.e. large color work, large black and grey work, full stomach/chest/back pieces) the deposit will be applied to the final appointment.
cancelation policy:
deposits are non-refundable in the event of a cancellation. if you’d like to reschedule, please give at least 3 days notice and your deposit will carry over. any less notice will require a new deposit. rescheduled dates shouldn’t extend out to more than a month from your original date. any further out will be considered a cancelation. In the event that i have to reschedule you for any personal/professional reason, your deposit will carry over automatically.*
can i get a tattoo if im under 18?
we don’t have the insurance at the shop to cover minors. even with parental consent we cannot tattoo anyone underage.
do i need an appointment?
it’s best to book an appointment if you want to ensure a spot in my schedule. if i have walk-in availability, i will update on my instagram :)
where are you located?
i am currently at 5th layer tattoo studio in phillipsburg, nj. (7 union square, Phillipsburg NJ 08865) it is all woman/POC/queer owned and operated. we occupy the second and third floor. we do not have an elevator. if accessibility is a concern, please let me know and i can do my best to trade stations with an artist on the second floor.
what should I do on the day of my appointment?
please be sure to bring a photo ID
eat a good meal before your appointment. you are welcome to bring snacks and we have sweets at the shop if needed. please do not consume alcoholic beverages prior to your appointment. i cannot tattoo you if you are under the influence of any kind and alcohol promotes bleeding during the tattoo
wear something comfortable that allows access to the area being tattooed. (for placement on the side of the hip or thigh we would suggest wearing shorts or hip tied swim bottoms that can expose the area / back tattoo or shoulder blade, a button up shirt or zip up hoodie can be worn backward / chest or collarbones, a tube top or a tank top so that the straps can be tucked under the arms)
the day before your session, please refrain from having any alcohol or illicit drugs, as this weakens the immune system and can make the tattooing process/healing rough.
can i bring someone to my appointment?
Absolutely! because space is limited, we ask that you only bring one friend - they are welcome to join you in our tattoo spaces or sit in our waiting area. we have food and drink and there’s always something on the TV :)
*please understand that on rare occasion, there may be personal things that require me to take off work and reschedule your appointment. i will do my best to reschedule you as soon as possible if this ever occurs.
