A little about my process…
I practice what I call “slow tattooing’, which means fully rendered, traditional art on paper (except for realism and cover-ups where procreate is the better choice) and then a handmade stencil. Digitalization is a big time saver, but I believe there are benefits to doing this process by hand. On paper, watercolour and Chinese sumi, each interact in unique and interesting ways to make effects the computer can’t duplicate. Often some of the best effects happen this way. Each time I redraw the design, for a painting and then a stencil of the painting, it improves, and I ultimately understand the design intimately by the time I tattoo it. I like to really take my time with each client, and so when you come into my beautiful studio space, there is a relaxed peaceful pace and also a careful focused process for applying the stencil and the tattoo itself. For this reason, a flat daily rate works better than an hourly rate. My daily rate is $1000 plus hst. A day usually starts at 930am when you arrive and ends around 430 pm when I finish the tear down and cleaning process. This window can shift slightly as needed. When you arrive for a tattoo you can be sure that I have already put a full days work into the process, sometimes more. The cost of the tattoo covers all the additional time needed. If a tattoo is less than a day’s work, the hourly rate is $200. Both of these rates are all inclusive of the consultation process, design, stencil, tattooing and follow-up touch up session as well. All custom bookings will require a $200 deposit to secure. Flash designs require a $100 deposit. This deposit is fully refundable under the policies that can be found on my policy page. Conditions that affect the deposit’s refundability are time spent on custom designs and proximity to the actual tattoo date.
Thank you so much, Allison
