About my work ethic

Did You Know?:

  • There are two public tattoo studios that are owned by apprentice and under-apprentice level individuals in “higher end” parts of Greater Lafayette.
  • Local regulators have lifted restrictions on the owners/operators of public studios from having any prior tattoo experience. Wild.
  • Here is just one example of one of these “tattoo studio owner’s” work:

There is a difference between someone who is inexperienced working privately and a decades-long professional artist working privately.

I prefer to work in a comfortable non-storefront, private studio setting for these reasons: 

  • Storefront tattoo studios often have toxic, noisy environments where artists are often trying to impress each other, not the client.
  • After 20+ years in this profession, I have found public storefront tattoo studios to contribute to the least serious, least professional atmosphere possible.
  • In particular walk-in shops can house some of the most lethargic, inexperienced, uninterested individuals who may not thoroughly enjoy what they do (There are exceptions to every rule).
  • This is my professional opinion after decades of working in and owning public studios.

    •  
  • $160 per hour
  • Small to medium tattoos (Size of the average hand or smaller) priced in person.
  • $680 capped day rates (5 hours), equal to $136 per hour. This is a promotional rate to incentivize no reschedules/cancellations.

     Promotional credits:

  • $50 credit per person, per review, per social venue after I have tattooed you, if you are satisfied enough to leave a 5 star review with words.
  • Credit for each referral that results in a completed tattoo from your person. 1 credit per person, a minimum of 9% of the dollar amount matched.

Motto

“Strongly designed artwork, bold clean lines, solid color fill, well tuned equipment… these are the elements we use to insure the tattoos we do last forever and keep their looks throughout a lifetime.”
