experience
I have been tattooing since the beginning of 2023. I apprenticed under Oxalis (@oxalis_______) and am now a resident artist at Chimera Studios in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington.
flash
All my flash designs are repeatable up to a few times each. You can see which designs are available on the flash page of this site or in my Instagram story highlight (red dot means the design is retired/unavailable).
customs
I enjoy custom work but do a limited amount—I only accept custom requests that are within my skillset and general style and I won’t copy another artist’s design. For customs, I will show you some design options at the beginning of your tattoo appointment and there will be time to alter the design before we begin tattooing if needed. I can arrange a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your idea beforehand too if you would like.
deposit
I require a $40 deposit on flash bookings and a higher deposit on custom bookings. The deposit comes off the final payment on the day and is non-refundable. If you reschedule with at least 48 hours notice your deposit can transfer to the new booking. If you give less notice or reschedule more than once I will usually require a new deposit.
pricing
Pricing varies depending on complexity, sizing, time, etc. When responding to your booking request I will quote a price. Customs cost more to account for research and drawing time. Most of my simpler flash start at around $140NZD and customs generally start at $200NZD.

payment
Deposits are paid via bank transfer, and the remaining payment is made on the day with bank transfer or cash. If needed we can arrange a PayPal transfer.
18+
I don’t tattoo anyone under the age of 18, no exceptions. Please bring valid photo ID with you on the day.

preparing for your tattoo
- Please don’t drink alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
- Make sure you have had something to eat and drink
- Bring a drink and a snack with you if you would like
- Wear something comfy that can easily expose the area you want to be tattooed
- You can ask for breaks whenever needed
- Feel free to bring one support person with you
aftercare
- Leave your tattoo wrapped for 2-3 hours, then gently wash with warm water and unscented soap before patting dry with a clean paper towel
- Don’t pick, scratch or scrub your tattoo at all during healing
- Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight for three weeks
- Don’t go swimming or have a bath/spa for three weeks (showering is fine but avoid soaking the tattoo)
- If the tattoo gets sweaty or dirty, give it a gentle wash with warm water and unscented soap
- Apply a very thin layer of unscented, unmedicated lotion twice a day during healing (Bepanthen Cream or AfterArt are my recommendations)
- Itching and dryness/crusting is all a normal part of the healing process!
- Your tattoo will take around a month to heal
touch-ups
I always do free touch-ups if needed.
