How far out are you booked?
I do not book more than a month to 2 months in advance. Weekends tend to fill up quickly but I usually have some availability during the week.
When can I come in for a consultation?
You may come into the studio anytime during business hours for a free consultation. Please call ahead just to be sure I am able to meet with you before doing so.
Does it hurt?
Yes. Tattoos hurt. But this pain is far from unbearable and is temporary. Choose your tattoo based on where you want it forever, not how much it may or may not hurt. Make sure you check out the Preparation page for more information on how to make your tattoo experience as smooth as possible!
Will you tattoo my image/idea/tattoo?
Tattoos are a collaboration. I will always be willing to work with any ideas, images or other tattoos you bring in as reference. I will not, however, copy a tattoo someone else has done exactly. Tattoos should be unique to their owner, so lets give you something original, that’s yours and only yours, forever.
Why did you turn down my tattoo/idea?
Not all images are made to be tattooed. Some things work as a tattoo and some just don’t due to the nature of the skin, pigments and other factors involved in the tattoo process. In choosing me as your artist, it’s assumed that you have looked at my work and trust that I will create something you will love.
I reserve the right to turn down projects I feel do not contribute to my vision or feel comfortable executing. All of this is with the client’s best interest in mind. If I feel another artist is better suited for your project, I will refer you to them.
Do you do cover-ups?
While I have done a fair share of cover-ups, I am starting to shy away from them. In order to do these properly, it takes a big commitment that most people aren’t willing to do. If you’re committed and it’s something I feel we can accomplish successfully, please come into the studio for a free consultation. I require an in person consult for all cover ups.
Will you fix my old tattoo?
More than likely, not. I have come to a point in my career where I have no interest in touching another artist's work and want to focus on my own artwork.
Why is it so expensive?
Tattoos are a luxury item. Nobody NEEDS a tattoo. It’s just the same as purchasing designer clothes, jewelry and other luxury items. I will not negotiate price with anyone. I am providing a service and I know what that service is worth. This includes supply costs, time and labor it takes to create your design as well as the years and years I have already put into being an artist that allows me to create work at a high level and at an efficient pace.
Where do you work?
I work at Renaissance Tattoo Collective in the Cultural District of Fort Worth. Right next door to Rodeo Goat!
2836 Bledsoe St. Suite 200
Fort Worth TX 76107
