F.A.Q.
• WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Just left All Sacred. I will have a temporary location for booked clients in Denver, CO.
• ARE YOU GOING TO TATTOO CLOSE TO MY TOWN SOMEHOW?
I travel a lot throughout the year within the United States. You can check out my tour calendar.
• HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
I usually charge by the piece. Depending on size, details, kind of needle I'll be using, the ink (just black or with some hints of color, or solid color), placement, etc.
The minimum/hourly rate is $350, and the full day session is $2000.
Some placements like rib-cage or fingers start at $400.
• HOW CAN I GET A QUOTE?
WHEN BOOKS ARE OPEN, you can send me the "tattoo inquiry" FORM, filling out all the spaces.
I might ask you more info and then I'll give you a pretty accurate range of price.
For big projects best thing is to work in sessions (full days or half days, depending on your pain tolerance too).
Once I know how the work should be done I will be able to give you a pretty exact estimate for your project.
Keep in mind for my floral designsI mostly work Free hand, as you can see in my portfolio (certain things will still need a stencil but for the most part I draw directly on the skin, with markers, to create a design that flows better to your body).
• HOW CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT IN DENVER, or any other specific UPCOMING TRIP?
For Denver, books are going to be open January 21st through the 24th, 2023, ONLY.
And same for conventions, you can send the INQUIRY FORM during specific Book Openings that will be announced through Instagram.
Once the quote is given to you, we'll need a 30% deposit to book an appointment and it will be applied to the final price of your tattoo.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. They can be held for up to 6 months.
• DO I NEED TO BUY A TICKET FOR A CONVENTION I'M GETTING TATTOOED IN?
Yes, tickets do not depend on the artists, and you need to buy your own, either online (cheaper) or in loco.
• WHAT'S YOUR TATTOO AFTERCARE?
Traditional aftercare is my favorite (without second skin):
- Leave the plastic wrap for 3 hours, the skin needs to rest with a protection.
Leave it overnight for larger tattoos.
- Remove the plastic and wash it with mild soap and fresh water.
Let it dry or tap it with clean paper towel.
- Apply a very THIN layer of cream (Cure by Happy Ink, Hustle, Lubriderm...) 3 times a day, for 2 or 3 weeks (thin because the tattoo has to breathe), Until the tattoo is completely healed.
Never, never use vaseline or Neosporin, because again, the tattoo has to breathe.
-If you have any pet, be careful with its hair and make sure to have clean sheets;
- Avoid direct sun light for 6 weeks.
- Avoid swimming-pool and the beach, for 3 weeks. Consider the tattoo is an open wound and those places are full of bacteria and there's a high risk of infection.
- Do NOT Workout, at least for 1 week!! This is very important. The tattoo edges will become fuzzy, and you'll compromise the result of the tattoo, forever.
- Quick showers are good (you must clean it), but do not soak the tattoo.
- The tattoo will scab and become itchy, do NOT pick it. You might remove some ink!
- Keep the tattoo clean throughout the whole healing process, without washing it excessively.​
• WOULD YOU DO A COVER-UP?
My style is not really suitable for cover-ups but some exceptions can be made. Each tattoo is different, so in this case (WHEN BOOKS OPEN) send me a direct E-MAIL with the following information:
- a close up picture of the existing tattoo;
- the exact size of it;
- a picture a bit from far, not too much, but enough to see the body placement;
- an approximate size, meaning the limits for the final cover up size, so I understand the skin space I'm working with;
- ultimately any references/ideas you have for the cover up concept.
PS. I do cover ups or fixings only at the studio in Denver, All Sacred; I won't be accepting this kind of work in conventions, with no exceptions. Thank you for understanding.
