RATES
**Updated for 2026. Anything already booked will remain as quoted at the time of booking**
All my bookings are quoted as flat rate sessions. I quote this way as I find it to be the most fair pricing structure for both myself and my clients as we both know exactly what to expect upfront.
This is what is included in your appointment when you book a custom tattoo:
- A custom designed tattoo based on the details in your booking request
- Your tattoo design emailed to you the day before your appointment; or a week in advance for an added rush fee
- Unlimited edits to your tattoo design (as long as the edits are consistent with your original request)
- A one on one session at your pace, I only see 1 - 2 clients per day
- High quality equipment and supplies to complete your tattoo in an inviting, safe and professional environment
- One included touch up if booked within 6 months of getting the tattoo
The time slots listed below are the total time for each session, and begin when you arrive at the studio. The time it takes to make final adjustments, prep the skin, and place stencils is all considered part of the session time.
Please note that I rely heavily on size when quoting a tattoo. The size estimates below are averages to give you an idea, but the session length may vary depending on the final details of the project, regardless of size. This all depends on the amount of detail in the design, the tattoo size, the placement on your body, and the condition of your skin.
Below is my minimum rate; as well as my rates for partial vs full day sessions:
TINY TATTOO:
( 1 hour session )
-
script, text, numerals, handwriting, small linework: $200*
1 Microrealism tattoo under 1”: $300*
HALF DAY:
( 2 - 3 hour sessions )
-
1 Microrealism tattoo under 2”: $500*
2 Microrealism tattoos under 2”: $650*
1 Microrealism tattoo under 3”: $700*
REGULAR DAY:
10:30am to 3pm
( 3 - 4.5 hour session )
-
Flash: $700* / Custom: $800*
This is my most common booking slot.
Although small, microrealism is extremely time consuming tattoo styles due to the detail, focus and precision required. Microrealism tattoos between 3” - 6” tall (about 10 - 25 square inches) are typically a 3 - 4.5 hour session.
^ examples of a regular day session ^
FULL DAY:
10:30am to 5pm
( 5 - 6.5 hour session )
-
Flash: $950* / Custom: $1100*
Full day sessions are from 5 to 6.5 hours maximum in studio, with sessions ending at 5pm unless discussed beforehand.
Most tattoos 6” or taller (or roughly 30 square inches) are booked as full day sessions, which is anything I expect to take 5 hours or more. In a full day session I can usually complete a tattoo between 6” - 8” tall, sometimes up to 10” tall if the design is lower detail or has negative space.
For tattoos that are larger, I book 1.5 - 2 full day sessions, depending on how long I anticipate we might need.
If you have multiple microrealism concepts in mind, booking a few at a time can be the most cost effective solution. On one client, in one full day session; I can usually complete:
2 tattoos around 4” tall
3 tattoos around 3” tall
or 4 tattoos around 2” tall
(as a rough estimate)

The truth is tattooing involves extensive unseen work: booking and scheduling, designing, revisions, equipment and supplies, admin, and ongoing overhead. My rates reflect not only the session time, but all the labour and costs required to keep my body healthy and to provide a safe, intentional, high quality experience. I keep my pricing transparent so I can continue offering the level of care and detail my clients expect from me.
*hst NOT included. ALL tattoos are subject to 13% in sales tax, paid in full on the day of your appointment. A quote will be given to you and a deposit will be required before any appointment is confirmed. Your deposit will be deducted from the total of your tattoo after taxes on the day of your appointment.
