frequently asked questions ♡

  • ✿ Appointment requests can be sent via booking form or email.

  • ✿ My regular minimum per session is $250. Small flashes are usually priced at (or close to) minimum, and minimum would also cover multiple tiny tattoos (1-2”).

    ✿ However, I do offer a reduced rate if you just want one super small, simple piece (1-2”). Designs that are priced at (or below) my regular minimum can be found under “$200-250 flash.”

    ✿ Small/medium flashes (3-4”) generally range from $250-$400, depending on size, placement, and detail. It usually works out to be about $100 per inch.

    ✿ Larger scale designs (8”+) are priced hourly ($175/hr). Large scale work can also be broken into sessions as necessary.

    ✿ I always give price quotes before booking, and I’m always happy to work with budgets— just let me know in your email/booking form. General size and price ranges are listed below each page to give you an idea of what to expect.

  • ✿ Yes! On the booking form, you’ll have a chance to upload reference photos and describe your idea.

  • ✿ Yes! Just let me know in your booking form. If you want a bunch of small things, you can book a half day session (4 hours, $500) or full day session (8 hours, $800-$1000), and we can do as many tattoos as possible in that time frame.

  • ✿ To set up an appointment with a friend or group:

    • For the exact same piece: please fill out one form and include what you’d like to get (including size, placement, etc), as well as how many people will be getting the tattoo!

    • For different pieces: If you want to come in with a friend but you don’t want matching pieces, that’s also totally fine! In this case, please fill out separate forms with each of your ideas (+ size, placement, etc), and just let me know in the last question that you’d like to be booked with [Friend’s name].

    ✿ If you’re looking to book me for an event, please shoot me an email! I love tattooing at parties and such.

  • ✿ Yes! If you see a design that you like and you’re not in LA, you can purchase a tattoo ticket for $30. Just send me an email with the design you’re interested in, and I can send you the file + payment info.

    ✿ You can also fill out my mailing list/travel request form to be notified if I schedule a guest spot in your city.

  • ✿ If you’d like to gift a tattoo session, you can totally purchase a gift certificate!

    ✿ It can be for any amount— my minimum for tattoo sessions is $250, and most small flashes are $250-300, but you don’t have to cover the entire cost. You can put down any amount you’d like, and it’ll go towards the balance of their appointment.

    ✿ Just shoot me an email (pokingyousoftly@gmail.com) to let me know the recipient’s name/email so that I can make a note of it for their booking, and I’ll send you the payment details! Feel free to reach out if you have any other specific questions.

  • ✿ Absolutely! If you want a custom design in my style (but you don’t want to get it tattooed), I can make a custom drawing for you.

    ✿ This includes pet portraits, custom bouquets, custom flash sheets, etc! Literally whatever your heart desires. I can make a print of the piece, or just send the digital file.
