About Andy

Tattooing is my passion. Providing quality service to my clients is a foundation of such a passion. You will be listened to, accommodated and pleased simply with my presence. Fine line/illustrative is my preferred style. I do prefer to work in black/grey/white yet I am open to custom requests. You will be welcomed into a comfortable environment that you’ll remember each time you see your tat.

FAQ

What is your schedule?
Wednesday - Sunday from 12 - 8pm.
Who are you?
I am a tattoo artist, illustrator, painter, and skateboarder. All about keeping those good vibes flowing.
Why do you do this?
My ikigaii is to do what I love, with those that I love. The tattoo domain captivates me for all it offers: creativity, personality, communication, and connection. I love sharing time with rad people who want to celebrate life with a tattoo. I am passionate about the work of art I create with you as it is now and forever. The memory we are able to share from our tattoo session together will next level. I love it.
What tattoo styles do you like?
As I said before, Delicate deliciously detailed doodles is how I’d describe my style. Neo-traditional gems of joy. Lino cut, etching, medieval, manga, comic, pointillism, and puppy portraits. Simply beautiful and timeless badges of stoke. I prefer to do works entirely of black, gray and white ink. Color work may occur with additional fees.
How much will my tattoo cost?
The cost of your tattoo will all depend on its size, location (on your body), amount of detail, and the time needed to complete it. $125 is our shop minimum and shall be the price for tiny tattoos. My personal charge is $150/hr. For larger projects, pricing is determined by the length of the session and whether or not the tattoo is black & grey or color.
Do you do custom designs?
I am all about collaboration. We work together. It’s all about win/win with me. Let’s talk out ideas and options for the design. There is always a solution we can create together.
How do I pay for tattoos?
CASH! I love cash payments. Venmo, PayPal, cash app, Zelle, credit, etc are accepted.
What is the best tattoo aftercare?
Give it oxygen, cover it from the sun, keep it hydrated and keep it clean with good ole water… aka wash ya damn self often. A gentle antibacterial soap such as Dial Gold or TLC Foam Soap are great initial cleaning products. Hydration is key! Apply a healing ointment such as TLC salve 2/3 times per day, until scab has come off your tattoo completely. For the weeks following the tattoo session I suggest to use a non scented lotion of choice 2/3 times per day. Extra love and hydration allows the skin to heal properly and to enhance the tattoo’s beautiful composition.
What do I wear for the session?
Comfy clothes! Sweaters, shorts, leggings, comfy t shirt, flip flops… treat to self! Pretend you are going to a nap time party. Dress for happy naps!
Cancellation/Reschedulig
24hour cancellation notice to reschedule. Initial deposit paid shall shift over to new scheduled time slot. No calls, no shows, or late communication is a bad look; new deposit is needed for new appointment.
May I change my design?
Of course! Please let me know what edits, ideas or requests. Reach out to me and I gotchu.
Do you do cover ups?
Depends on the size and placement on your body. Send me a current photo with your request and we will go from there. Cover ups are custom additional fees.
May I bring friends?
Depends. If a they are getting tattoos or have gotten a tattoo from me before, absolutely. If not, you may have 1 guest. No more, no less.
How do I recommend you to my friends?
Please send them my numba and insta account. They can hit me up either way and I’m down to make some magic
What to bring for my next tattoo session?
Please bring a government-issued photo ID (license, state ID, passport, etc.) with you. Please bring any reference material with you. The day of your tattoo appointment, please bring anything your artist requested of you at your consultation. Feel free to bring your headphones, a tablet, book, magazine, bottle of water/any other non-alcoholic beverage with a lid, and light snacks if desired.
