TATTOO booking info
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
It’s best to be prepared with ideas, reference photos, and placement options. I will ask for a straight-on well lit photo of the area for any custom designs. For flash pieces, only size and placement will need to be discussed along with any tweaks you would like. Please remember to bring your photo ID and payment.
A consultation fee is $50, where we can draw, take photos of the area, and come together on an idea!
CONSUlting
Deposits are always NON-REFUNDABLE. My average deposit will range from $50 - $150 to lock in your appointment date. This cost WILL be credited to your final appointment price unless there is a cancellation. Since I will be at a loss from an open working-day and/or drawing time, in this case, the deposit will be forfeited. If there must be a reschedule, please inform me within 5 days of the appointment. If there are more than two reschedules, the deposit will be forefeited.
Deposits can be taken in cash during a consultation, or online through Zelle (530-368-5907) or Venmo (@micahhan).

CURRENT PRICING
For custom designs and larger projects, I work off a day rate. Since i’m moving towards larger projects and “half Days” still take up a whole day of setup, I’m moving towards a higher incentive for full days.
For projects that include anywhere from 3-4 hours of tattooing, the rate is a flat $700. This is now my MINIMUM. Due to the demand its more difficult to keep doing so many smaller pieces rather than a few large ones.
For a full day of tattooing, the rate goes at $1000 flat. I may give you a lesser price if the project will take between a half and full day. Or it might be slightly more if its a difficult and more time consuming placement.
Pieces that are 10-12 inches, or pieces like the spine or wraps can go from anywhere from $1200 - $1400 if we do it all in a one day session. If we do multiple sessions in any circumstance I will always give a discount.
Once we open our consultation, I will confirm the price before we book and you can decide if the rate works for you! Here’s some examples of some projects and what their prices would be now:

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
GENERAL AFTERCARE
After your appointment, I may sanitize and wrap your tattoo in plastic wrap. In this case, we would dry heal. Sleep with the tattoo wrapped to protect it from and chafing. In the morning, gently lather the area with an UNSCENTED soap or cleanser. Scented products can be irritants to open skin. Dove, Dial, CeraVe, and Cetaphil are all great options!
Just wash the area 1-2 times a day. Don’t moisturize for the first few days or while it sill feels like an open wound. Make sure to moisturize the area MULTIPLE times a day! Again, look for unscented products. Dryness and cracking lifts the ink from deeper areas of the skin, so its best to be avoided. Even so, some peeling, weeping, and even bruising are natural parts of the healing process and are not much to be worried about. You can contact me with any concerns though!
Make sure to be as gentle as possible during aftercare. Keep in mind that this is a healing wound! The quicker and more seamless the healing process, the better the piece will show in the long run. If peeling occurs, do not PICK at the dead skin, and avoid chafing at all costs. Scabbing of the area is bad news, and is best to be avoided. Unless very necessary, try not to rewrap the area, especially without cleaning first, as this could trap bacteria around the wound, and infect the area.
After the appointment, I may wrap your tattoo in Saniderm or “second skin.” This product is waterproof so no worries about showering afterwards! Its best to keep this on for at least three days after the appointment, as removing it beforehand can lift some of the ink. If you are experiencing irritation around the edges of the Saniderm, remove it IMMEDIATELY, as this means you are allergic to the adhesive.
Removal after five days is reccommended, but some keep it on for seven without any worries. Bruising and weeping are natural, and there may be small bubbles of liquid under the saniderm. This is alright, unless there is irritation around these areas, OR it leaks out of the edge of the Saniderm patch. In these cases its best to remove it.
You can remove the patch in the shower under lukewarm running water. Let the water flow downwards into the crase of where you’re peeling, and peel slowly downwards. Afterwards, lather with soap and moisturize!
