All appointments start with my booking form, followed by communication through email. Beginning in 2026, I will no longer respond to DMS about booking inquires.

I prefer cash (no change kept at the shop). I do accept cards and tap to pay (with a 3% transaction fee).

Most tattoo artists, including myself, don’t send full designs before the appointment. Sharing designs too early often leads to unnecessary back and forth over artwork that still needs to be adjusted directly on your body. Tattoos are meant to fit your unique anatomy (and any existing tattoos), and those final refinements happen in person on the day of your appointment.

I typically complete your design the day before. Creating artwork too far in advance can result in extra work (especially with how often cancellations or reschedules occur). Designing closer to your appointment keeps the piece fresh in my mind, aligns with my workflow, and ensures I’m not spending hours on a tattoo that may shift.

At your appointment, you’ll have time to review the design, request changes, and make sure it feels right before anything goes on your skin. This process keeps the artwork flexible, respects both our time, and ensures the best possible fit. Your comfort matters, and I will never tattoo anything without your full approval. If major changes are needed, we may need to schedule a new date, without requiring a new deposit.

During our email discussion about the appointment, I’ll provide you with a price quote. Day of the appointment, If any changes to the design are required and make it more complicated, the overall price may increase.

I typically book the current month and the following month. My books are (usually) always open.

I suggest you avoid using numbing creams before your appointment. During every tattoo, I apply Bactine after tattooing the first layer of lines. It contains 4% lidocaine, which provides temporary relief halfway through the process and makes the experience more tolerable. If the process is too painful and you need to reschedule to finish the tattoo accommodations can always be made.

No, Patchwork Collective is an appointment only studio.

My minimum is $75, which requires a $20 deposit. The deposit does not come off the final price.

You must be 18 years old with a valid ID by the time of the appointment.

Yes, tattoo touch ups are free but do require a $20 deposit to secure the appointment time.

I take small, simple cover ups only. If your piece is outside my ability range, I’m happy to recommend another artist I trust who specializes in larger or more complex cover ups.

I do not tattoo fingers, necks, faces, or genitalia.

Street parking is available. Our entrance has three steps but we have a removable wheelchair ramp available upon request. Our bathrooms are equipped with handicap support rails for accessibility. If you have any questions about our accessibility please reach out with questions before your appointment.

If you’re more than 30 minutes late without prior communication, your deposit may be forfeited, and the appointment will need to be rescheduled. If you’re running late, please send me an email to let me know.

Please eat a full meal beforehand, bring a valid ID, and wear dark clothing suited to the area being tattooed (example: shorts for tattoos on legs). Snacks and water are available in the studio free of charge.

Yes, you may bring 1-2 guests to your appointment as long as they are respectful of the shared studio space.

My flash designs are exclusively created for my own tattooing. Occasionally, I grant artists permission to use my work on a case to case basis, but we must discuss this beforehand. Additionally, I sell flash sheet prints and other artwork in my shop.
