About Rachel

Hi! I’m Rachel. I am a Blackwork tattoo artist specializing in dark illustrative work that is heavily inspired by gothic imagery, folklore, nature, and the macabre. I create custom tattoos ranging from whimsical pet portraiture, custom concepts, witchy women, botanical and ornamental pieces to larger scale concepts, often incorporating freehand to build flow with the body.

Policies

Deposit Policy

A deposit is required to book all appointments. Deposits are non-refundable and will go back to you by being applied to the final cost of the last session of your finished tattoo. Deposits secure our time together and demonstrates a mutual commitment to our project together. It protects both you and I by reserving the time specifically for your tattoo, including any preparation or design work.

Cover-up policy

Accepting cover-ups.

Reschedules/No Shows

For reschedules: Atleast 72 hours notice so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. If I need to reschedule, I’ll provide as much advance notice as I can. If a client cancels/ reschedules an appointment more than two times, the deposit is forfeited. To continue the project and book a new appointment, a new deposit will be required. No-call/no-shows will result in the automatic forfeiture of your deposit. To reschedule a new appointment after a no call/no show, a new deposit will be required.

FAQ

I have a specific budget I’m working with. Can I still book a tattoo if I’m not sure I can afford your rates?

Of course! I’m always happy to work within a budget. I believe getting a solid, thoughtfully designed tattoo should be accessible to everyone. We can always come up with a plan that works best for you whether that means adjusting the size, or breaking a project into multiple sessions. I also accept credit cards, Afterpay, Klarna, and other payment options to help make your tattoo more manageable. Don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know what you’re working with. We can figure it out together

I like your style but I’m not sure what I want. Can you help me figure it out?

Certainly! I would recommend we consult together. We can do that either in person or virtually. I would ask you questions, get to know you and what your interests are, and we can brainstorm together!

Can I give you creative freedom?

Yes! That would be wonderful! The more creative freedom I have, I’m able to do my best work.

Do you do freehand, or do you always design in advance?

Both :) It really depends on the tattoo and the vision we’re creating together. I love designing custom pieces ahead of time, but I’m also very comfortable freehanding directly onto the body when it makes sense for the design. Sometimes the best tattoos happen when we leave a little room for spontaneity and let the placement and body guide the design.

What happens if I’m late?

No worries! Jsut give me a heads up. I usually book only one appointment a day to ensure every client gets the best experience possible. Let me know what’s up and we can figure it out. If you’re super late, like an hour, we may have to reschedule!
