Address:
I work out of a private studio in East Williamsburg. The address is 117 Grattan St, Brooklyn NY 11237
I totally get that public transit & travel is a finicky thing, but it'd be great if you didn't get there more than 10 minutes before our appointment time :) If you get there super early Sey coffee or Swallow coffee are good spots to hang out (lol you can probably just stand in line at Sey and not even have to order anything, iykyk)
Upon Arrival:
Use the directory in the intercom to call 122
Enter the building
Enter the first floor
Take a left and then a right. Go ahead and enter through unit #123 :)
prep & info:
(sorry if this next bit is redundant/too obvious)
Please wear/bring clothes that are comfortable and provide access to where we'll be tattooing !
Sweats are great for leg pieces bc they roll & all that fun stuff. Button up shirts worn backwards, or cheap tees with the back cut out are great for back pieces. Bikini bottoms with tie strings are great for side/hip pieces.
Just be aware that we will need to access the entire area where we’ll be tattooing. There are bathrooms you can use to change, so if you aren't sure where you want it feel free to bring lotsa options ! I also have pasties, “tanning bras”, and “tanning thongs” that can be used as cover up options.
There is a chance there will be a visiting artist also working in the space. If that’s the case and we end up working on a sensitive area I am more than happy to put up a privacy screen (it’s a big one that spans the whole studio). If that’s the case please just let me know!
I would also encourage you to check out the about page of my website for a detailed walkthrough of a typical tattoo session and info on those questions we all want to ask but sometimes don’t like taking breaks, music choices, tipping, and the like.
feedback:
After your appointment you will be provided with a link for anonymous feedback. This is in case there was anything about the booking or tattooing process that you feel needs to be addressed or that you wanted to have a continued conversation about. Please don’t be afraid to use it, I welcome feedback as it is the most effective way for me to improve. Which I will just stress that if you’re ever uncomfortable for any reason please please let me know so I can remedy that. I recognize that everyone comes into this experience with widely different backgrounds and I want to do everything I can to be sensitive to that.
payment:
I am currently only taking cash or cards. There is a ~2% fee for using cards, as well as 8.875% NY tax. So think long and hard about which option you’d rather do.
I’m using a flat day rate of $1200 for full day appointments and $600 for half day appointments. The deposit does count towards this :)
