Frequently asked questions

No, I work by appointment only. That allows me to give each piece the time and focus it deserves. If you're interested, we can schedule a consultation first to talk through your ideas.

We start with a conversation. You share what you’re thinking, whether it’s a clear idea or just a loose concept. I’ll ask some questions, offer suggestions, and sketch something out that reflects what you want. Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll book your tattoo session. On the day of, I’ll prep the area, apply the stencil, and walk you through the process before we begin.

Sessions usually range from 3 to 8 hours. I build in breaks as needed and always make sure you’re comfortable throughout.

I charge $200 per hour. To secure your appointment, I require a $200 non-refundable deposit. That amount goes toward the final session once your piece is complete.

Since 2009. And even after all these years, I still feel like there’s always something new to learn.

I tattoo at Well Made, located at 4227 Park Blvd in San Diego, CA.

Sometimes, yes. It depends on the piece. If you send me a photo and some context, I’ll let you know what’s possible.

No. Tattooing is my passion, and I love all styles. I have done many styles throughout my career.

Absolutely. Consultations are a chance for us to get to know each other, go over your ideas, and make sure we’re on the same page before you commit.

Get a good night’s sleep, eat a solid meal, and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothes that give access to the area being tattooed. I also recommend bringing snacks and a drink to stay hydrated during your session.

I’ll walk you through aftercare in person. Healing properly is just as important as the tattoo itself, so I make sure you leave with all the info you need.
