Frequently Asked Questions and Process
-
I work freehand mixed with some stenciling – I love it so much!
I typically create a mockup of the tattoo concept to show you at the beginning of the appointment before we begin.
Often times, we create the design together before the session right on the skin.
We can have a consultation in advance which we can discuss details and placement. Consultations can be in person or online.
-
You can submit a request via the form I have made available here on my website.
Updates will be shared via Instagram.
I cannot take on all requests that are submitted. I decide which projects to take on based on interest, skillset, and alignment. We send emails letting you know if I have chosen to take on your project and what the next steps are. I send emails out to EVERYONE, despite whether we move forward on the project together.
It typically takes 1- 3 weeks for me to reach out to let you know if I’ve decided to take on your project.
I will send a booking link to you if we are moving forward on your design, in which you can schedule your own appointment & consultation while paying your deposit.
-
I do offer consultations!
All consultations are held via google meets online, and are complimentary.
Note, I still require an online request and idea as to the tattoo being discussed.
-
I charge based on a full day ($1300), 4-5 hours ($1000) or half day ($700) rate. I take select smaller projects that are quoted based on a $250 hourly rate.
For Canadian clients, I will honor my US rates converted to CAD
Appointments include
1:1 consult before the appointment (online)
A fully custom tattoo
Priority booking date
A comfortable, private, unrushed session
Breaks as needed
Follow-up & check-in after healing
For single session projects, I will provide you your final, fixed cost at the time of our consultation/booking.
For multi-session projects, I will provide you a range of how many sessions I expect we will need.
If you are working within a specific budget, please let me know and I will do my best to design/work within it. If this requires adaptations to the design/idea, I'm always happy to discuss changes in our consultation or provide alternative options.

I work out of Found Tattoo Studio

Fort Collins, Colorado

I am a tattoo artist that specializes in floral and botanical tattoos.
I also like exploring subjects including insects, snakes, birds, dragons, architecture, whimsical objects, and other select animals.

-
Yes, but doing so will forfeit your deposit. I would recommend rescheduling!
-
Yes I do! Because it will be apparent whether a touchup is needed within the first few months, I do them for free for the first 6 months after the tattoo was made. After that I do charge a $100 minimum for touchups.
-
No, I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.
-
Yes I do. Please include all people in one booking form.
-
Yes, I do! It’s important that scars be healed at least a year. Please include in your request form if this is something we will be exploring.
-
If you have pre-existing skin conditions such as eczema, you can be tattooed as long as the placement is not where you have continued flare ups.
Please mention this when booking as this will need to be considered while designing.
-
This situation varies case by case. Appointment slots are booked based on the discussed concept.
I can always discuss any changes you may have, but know that our appointment slot may not accommodate your changes.
You're welcomed to make small changes and adjustments to your design after your original request and/or consultation.
Any drastic changes may result in the forfeit of your appointment slot, needing to reschedule.
-
I can take card payments at the end of our appointment, or cash.
Cash is preferred, but I understand if carrying a larger amount of cash is unnerving.
With card transactions, a 3% fee will be added to the total amount charged to cover card transaction fees.
-
Anytime I release a design that I would like to tattoo, an inquiry can be made on the design inquiry form here on my website, or through the custom booking form when I open my books.
Please attach a photo of the desired design and desired placement.
Small adjustments can be made, but if there are numerous changes you would like, I would recommend submitting a custom request when my books open.
-
I do require a deposit to schedule an appointment and consultation.
Deposits are range from $100-$200 depending on the size of the tattoo.
Deposits are applicable to the total cost of your tattoo. If you have multiple sessions, your initial deposit will be applicable to the last appointment scheduled. Please note that your deposit is nonrefundable, and will cover one appointment reschedule if given at least 72 hours (3 days) notice.
Your deposit will be forfeited and a new one will need to be placed If you need to:
Reschedule a second time
Rescheduling under 3 days notice
Cancelling after booking an appointment
Not showing up to your appointment
Showing up more than 30 minutes late.
