-I CALL IT VINTAGE FINE LINE. A COMBINATION OF SMALL MICRO MOVEMENTS WITH A TATTOO MACHINE TO CREATE A HAND ILLUSTRATED IMAGE. FULL OF TEXTURE & DETAIL. THIS CREATES A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT TATTOO THAT WILL CHANGE WITH YOU OVER TIME!! THE IDEA THAT TATTOOS ARE NO LONGER BEAUTIFUL AFTER YEARS OF LIFE IS BULLSHIT. A TATTOO IS SUPPOSED TO EVOLVE WITH YOUR BODY, TO CHANGE & SHIFT WITH YOU!!!

-PRICING IS BASED ON LENGTH OF THE SESSION, WITH A TIME ESTIMATE GIVEN BEFOREHAND. $200 per hour. OUR MINIMUM IS $200!!

there is a $10 transaction fee on card transactions.

when i am traveling for a guest spot at another tattoo studio, my pricing will reflect the tattoo climate of the city that I am traveling to.

I AM FIRST & FOREMOST AN ARTIST. I TAKE MY TIME CREATING & I LOVE THE SPACE TO CREATE UNIQUE TATTOOS. AS AN ARTIST I DO NOT COPY OTHER ARTISTS. I WILL NOT COPY & PASTE SOMETHING ONTO YOU. EVERYTHING IS DONE WITH INTENTION & CARE. IF MY STYLE DOESN’T ALIGN WITH YOU, THAT PERFECTLY OKAY. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO FIND AN ARTIST THAT DOES!! IT IS SUCH A SACRED PROCESS, THEREFORE I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIND SOMEONE THAT RESONATES WITH YOUR ENERGY & vision. I AM HAPPY TO GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS IF I CAN!!!

AT INTUITIVE TATTOO, i am COMMITTED TO CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL!! i am ALWAYS OPEN TO HEARING YOUR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE THE accessibility of the SPACE!!

THE STUDIO IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE FROM THE FRONT ENTRANCE, OF THE LEATHER GOODS store, ON THE GROUND FLOOR, WITH A SMALL ONE INCH DOOR FRAME, BUT NO STEPS THROUGHOUT. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS THE STUDIO through the BACK ENTRANCE that HAS 4 STEPS UP TO THE DOOR and a 2-inch step down at the door.

THERE IS PARKING at the FRONT, BACK & SIDE OF THE STUDIO. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE DM ME!!

THE PARKING SPOTS LOCATED NEAREST THE children’s daycare are not available. please do not park there!!! THEY ARE labeled “ABS”.

-when you show up you can ask if you are in the right space, so there's no pressure because i know it’s confusing!!!!!

the two BATHROOMS ARE PRIVATE & GENDER NEUTRAL. both with grab bars!!

FACE MASKS can be given TO CLIENTS WHO WOULD PREFER TO WEAR THEM & YOU ARE ABLE TO REQUEST THAT I WEAR ONE TOO!!! I DON’T MIND!!

The space is very comforting for sensory needs. it is private so the music is calming and subtle and the lights are dim and comforting. there is no overhead lighting!! I personally need this environment so if there is any way to make it more comfortable we can make those changes!! the music i tend to play is chill indie, if you want to suggest a different playlist, just let me know!!!

there will be A VARIETY OF REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE IN THE STUDIO, PLEASE LET me KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE ANYTHING!!

THERE ARE SHOPS RIGHT BY THE STUDIO WITH FOOD & DRINKS AS WELL IF YOU NEED A STOP BEFORE OR AFTER. (Hawthorne pizza & sabor)

THE STUDIO IS IN A PRIVATE ROOM BUT IS LOCATED IN A SHARED CO-OP BUILDING WITHIN COLSENKEANE LEATHER GOODS STORE and other small businesses, THEREFORE THERE IS lite NOISE, ETC, DURING the DAY HOURS,

FULL CANCELLATIONS or no shows will result in a LOSS OF YOUR DEPOSIT.

I have a 48 HOUR RESCHEDULING policy.

If you reschedule within this time you will LOOSE YOUR DEPOSIT and must pay a new deposit in order to book. This insures that I am not losing time slots to last minute changes that could be booked by other clients.

Also, I allow one reschedule per deposit.

DO NOT RESCHEDULE WITHOUT MESSAGING ME FIRST!!!

please message me if anything comes up. I AM WAY MORE UNDESTANDING WHEN I’M KEPT IN THE LOOP!!

-YES!! I CHOOSE THE PROJECTS THAT ALIGN BEST ENERGETICALLY & ARTISTICALLY.

projects I love:

I LOVE SPACE TO BE CREATIVE & TO MAKE A Beautifully UNIQUE PIECE.

-FLASH!!!!!! (AKA MY ALREADY DRAWN designs. ALL OF WHICH ARE REPEATABLE)

-FLORA & FONA (AKA flowers, PLANTS, bugs, & ANIMALS)

-MAGICAL STUFF

-ICONIC IMAGES

-VINTAGE ART

-ARCHITECTURE

-FUNKY & UNIQUE THINGS

ALL WITH tons of FINE LINE DETAIL & TEXTURE

projects I RARELY accept:

I try to be aware of what doesn’t feel good for me to create. this list is not to limit what can be done but to be upfront about what I typically avoid.

-COVER-UPS/FIXING/ADDITIONS TO PRE-EXISTING TATTOOS (THAT ARE NOT DONE BY ME) THE FINE LINES DON’T WORK WELL WITH COVER-UPS

-MINIMALIST TATTOOS. i.e. single line drawings. the reason is because I LOVE DETAILS & TEXTURE!!

-the human form. I haven’t studied the human form as an artist (i’m completely self taught) so this might change one day but for now I will not take on projects that include the human body or any humanoid being

-WRAP/BAND TATTOOS

-color ink (I only use black ink)

-heavily religious images

-COPYING SOMEONE ELSES ART OR COPYING AN EXACT reference PICTURE (REFERENCE PICTURES ARE FOR A VIBE & IDEA ONLY, please come with an open mind & i will make you an incredible tattoo)

AN INTUITIVELY GUIDED ENERGY-INFUSED TATTOO SESSION. UNIQUE TO EVERY PERSONS LIFE JOURNEY. THIS SESSION USES THE ALCHEMY OF TATTOOING TO GUIDE & INSPIRE YOUR PHYSICAL BODY TOWARDS YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL

WE WILL USE ART MIXED WITH SACRED PLANTS, DIVINATION, MEDITATION, & DIVINE GUIDANCE TO CREATE AN IMAGE THAT WILL ACT AS A TALISMAN FOR YOUR JOURNEY IN THIS LIFETIME. THIS IMAGE WILL HELP GROUND YOU INTO YOUR BODY WHILE ALSO TRANSMUTING THE ENERGY THAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK.

THIS IS 3+ YEARS IN THE MAKING. I FEEL CHOSEN TO HOLD SACRED SPACE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL PROCESS. IT IS WHY I NAMED MY STUDIO THE WAY I DID. IT IS WHY I FELT CALLED TO TATTOO IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS INTUITIVE EXPERIENCE IS STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART!!

WHAT TO EXPECT?

you will have a two part experience. THESE two sessions GIVE A CHANCE FOR INSPIRATION & INTEGRATION. YOU WILL GET TO SEE YOUR SACRED ART BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION TO GET IT TATTOOED

the first part IS FOR INSPIRATION. we will TALK, set intentions, pull some cards, meditate together, & PULL together the elements that are important for your intuitive tattoo. BY THE END OF THIS PART YOU WILL HAVE A ROUGH DRAFT OF WHAT YOUR IMAGE WILL LOOK LIKE!!

the second part of THE experience will be the CEREMONY to integrate the SACRED ART into your PHYSICAL BODY & aura. we will call all the elements included in the art to guide & protect you throughout this lifetime. THIS INTEGRATION IS A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO HONOR THE HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF CEREMONIAL TATTOOING BEFORE, DURING, & AFTER US.

pricing

part one: $200 (includes a 1-2 hour session & the final alchemy drawing, no tattooing will be done in this part)

part two: $200 PER HOUR. (includes the tattoo & energy activation). this part is optional. meaning you can simply have a framed version of the art, there is no pressure to get it tattooed!!!

equal energy exchanges are very very important to me & essential for the work that i do. i’m honored to be here and i’m proud to finally share this with all you beautiful human beings. let’s make some magic!!!

booking is limited because the practice is sacred. i want to make sure to leave enough space to not overextend myself. i will have a form that is completely separate to my regular tattoo sessions ALSO AVAILIBLE THROUGH MY SUPER SECRET TATTOO LIST!! feel free to message me on instagram or email me to get an actual date!!!

get ready this is a very long explanation. the ants have so many meanings that I often get WINDED explaining them!!

it all staRTED BEFORE I OFFICIALLY BEGAN TATTOOING PROFESSIONALLY. IT WAS DURING THE QUARANTINE SECTION OF COVID AND I SPENT SO MUCH TIME OUTSIDE. A TREE in my backyard was covered with A TON OF BLACK CARPENTER ANTS THAT WOULD CLIMB ALL OVER ME. IT BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY BECAUSE IT REMINDED ME THAT WE WERE ALL CONNECTED. ON TOP OF THAT I wanted to be able to offer a token of appreciation to all the people that trusted me with their bodies and the art that was adorning them. the ants represent the collective consciousness that we all share, the connection to all that is & a reminder of your inner strength. AFTER ALL, ANTS CAN LIFT 10-50 times their body weight. they are also little friends that act as a reminder that no matter what you are going through, you are never alone. for some reason or another we all experience loneliness and during those times we can lose sight of the connections around us. the ant is a gentle reminder that someone has walked the path before, with, AND AFTER YOU. WE are here to support each other!!! one of the coolest things that has happened within this whole project is people seeing the ants out in the wild and making instant friends. IN MY OPINION SEEING THE ANT ON SOMEONE IS recognition that this person VALUES CONNECTION AND INTENTIONALITY!!! you MIGHT EVEN Make an instant friend if you find one!!! with such complex meaning, the ants are gifted one per session to those that want one!! they always make me so happy to share!! i am so thankful for this community!!!!!! (((i’m out of breathe typing all of this so thank you if you made it this far)))

yes!! all of my flash is repeatable. each image finds its person and ends up with its own unique details and expression. I love it!!!

IF YOU ARE WANTING SLIGHT CHANGES MADE TO THE FLASH, I AM HAPPY TO OBLIGE.

YES, I TYPICALLY SEND OVER THE CUSTOM DESIGN THE midnIGHT BEFORE your appointment. DESIGNS WILL NOT BE SENT BEFORE BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT.

-ADDITIONALLY, IF ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT, I AM HAPPY TO MAKE SLIGHT CHANGES TO ENSURE CLIENTS ARE SATISFIED. HOWEVER, AT MY DISCRETION, LENGTHY REDRAWS WILL COME AT A FEE TO PROTECT MY TIME & ENERGY if the information on the form was different than what was originally asked for. I rarely do this because I want you to be happy and comfortable with your design but if it seems as if I am being taken advantage of I will enact this fee.

YES!! YOU CAN!! WE CAN DO MULTIPLE SMALL OR A FEW MEDIUM SIZED TATTOOS PER SESSION!! I DON’T LIKE TO TATTOO OVER 4 HOURS PER SESSION SO MY BEST SUGGESTION IS TO COME IN MONTHLY!! I HAVE MULTIPLE CLIENTS THAT DO THIS IF THEY ARE WORKING TOWARDS A SLEEVE!!

-I WORK OUT OF A PRIVATE STUDIO IN CHARLOTTE, NC. in the colsenkeane buidling, our address is 1707 E 7th Street & ADDITIONAL INFO WILL BE SENT A WEEK AHEAD OF TIME & AGAIN 24 HRS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT as a reminder!!!

-yes!!! IT’S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND/PARTNER/FAMILY member WITH YOU IF YOU’D LIKE!!!! no more than two guests can come at a time because my space fits four (including me) comfortably!!

-CASH OR CARD WORKS for me. I HAVE A CARD READER that is compatible with apple pay. THERE IS A $10 TRANSACTION FEE that is paid in the deposit.

DO I HAVE TO BE 18+?

-YES!!!! YOU HAVE TO BE 18+ TO GET TATTOOED. NO PARENTAL CONSENT CAN BE GIVEN IN NORTH CAROLINA. there are no exceptions.

IS THE TATTOO PROCESS VEGAN?

-YES!! BEGINNING TO END. ALSO, FREE OF ALL MAJOR ALLERGENS and the highest quality products available. IF YOU NEED TO KNOW exactly WHAT PRODUCTS I USE PLEASE REACH OUT, I’M HAPPY TO SHARE.

when will I hear back from you?

i typically respond to messages sent through instagram tuesday-friday. i typically ask for a two week turn around as i am only one person and i try to prioritize my mental health. so i respond within that time when I feel i have the capacity!! i hope this make sense because i do not like to keep people hanging!!

if you have sent me an email… i’m sorry to say that I am not the best at keeping up with those!! i try to go through them every week or so!! feel free to also send a message through instagram (if you have it)

if you have ever reached out to me & i have not messaged you back, please send me another message!! it was not intentional at all!! communication is such an important part of working with a tattoo artist & I am constantly pushing myself to improve!!!

if your message has a time restraint please send a double message :) dozens of messages are in my inbox at any given moment & i don’t want to miss it!!

if you are waiting to hear back from me regarding a booking form, i ask for a two week turn around time to process everything that has come in!!
