Please fill out this booking form to request an appointment and I will be in touch. I try to respond to requests in as little as 12 hours if possible, but please allow up to 48 hours for a reply.

I charge by project, so the annoying answer is “it depends.” Shop minimum is $100 with the exception of flash sales or times when special rates apply.

Very generally speaking, a palm size tattoo will cost around $120 and $240 for hand size.

If you need to reschedule, please give me as much notice as possible, at least 24 hours. Your deposit will be transferred to your new appointment.

Please note, deposits are nonrefundable and if you cancel your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited.

Likewise, no call no shows will result in a forfeited deposit and will need to pay a new deposit to reschedule.

We have occasional walk in availability at The Cauldron, but best to check my Instagram to check. I will always post if I’m open for walk ins.

TLDR; Tattoos hurt and they should. But as long as you’re aware of the risks, you’re free to do as you please.

I won’t tell you what not to do with your body, but the FDA has recently put out information about the safety of numbing creams. Some of these brands contain higher levels of lidocaine than stated on the packaging, and whenever the skin is broken or wrapped the active ingredients penetrate deeper. Too much can lead to lidocaine toxicity.

I will not apply numbing cream to you before your appointment, but I won’t stop you from using it. If you’d like to know of brands I’ve heard good things about, I’m happy to share. If I can see the pain is overwhelming you I may use a little bactine, an anti-bacterial numbing spray that is used on burns and wounds.

That being said, I firmly believe that tattooing is spiritual and part of the tattoo experience is learning to feel and move through the pain. Tattoos should hurt - it’s a lot of very sharp needles rapidly piercing your skin. The pain signals help you know your limits, and I’d rather break sessions up than have you push your boundaries too far and risk physical or psychological harm. Knowing and communicating your limits is an essential skill and I’m happy to hold space for that.

But if all that ain’t your jam, then go ahead and numb up, just be informed. I’ll still tattoo you.

You should follow the after care instructions of your specific artist. The following isn’t medical advice, but is what I advise my clients after tattooing them.

• Leave your wrapping on for the time specified at the end of your appointment

• Wash with antibacterial soap like Dial gold

• Pat dry with a paper towel. Cloth towels can hold bacteria and leave fuzz in the exposed tattoo.

• Moisturize with an unscented lotion. Aquaphor is fine and commonly recommended, but I always suggest a water based lotion instead so your tattoo can breathe.

DO

• Keep your clothing loose around the tattoo

• Sleep with clean sheets

• Run water on it in the shower to keep it clean

• Wear sunscreen once your tattoo is healed

• Treat your healing tattoo like you would any other open wound

• Send healed pics :)

• Consult your physician if you notice any signs of infection (redness that persists after 1 week, persistent swelling or heat, blood or any other weird oozing)

DON’T

• Submerge in water - showering is fine but no baths, lakes, or swimming pools

• Expose to the sun while it’s healing- you’ll feel it burning and it’s not pleasant

• Wrap it after the initial bandage comes off - your skin needs oxygen to heal itself

• Scratch or pick your new tattoo
