Yes! While Sam is heavily focused on Japanese and traditional tattooing, he can cater to most styles and welcomes all types of tattooing. If he’s not the right fit, he will direct you to someone who is.

Yes! While every cover-up presents its own challenges, Sam will need to see the tattoo in person to provide the best recommendation. Some tattoos can be covered easily, while others may require laser lightening to achieve the best results.

A consultation gives you the opportunity to go over your ideas in person with Sam, talk through them in detail, and ask any questions you may have. It also allows time for tracings and any necessary prep work for your design. Larger work takes time, commitment, and patience, as well as mutual dedication. This ensures that we are the right fit for your ideas and that we achieve the best possible result!

Tattoos start at $150 and increase depending on size, placement, and detail. Sam’s hourly rate is $180 per hour. Large-scale pieces that require multiple sessions are priced at a full-day rate of $1000.

Sam will discuss tattoo aftercare with you in person after your appointment. As with any damage to the skin, it’s important to keep the area clean to promote healing. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions on the day of your appointment.
