I am part of a collectively owned and operated private studio called Keepsake Tattoo Collective, located in NE Portland, OR. The studio is on ground level and ADA accessible. with ample street parking. You will receive the studio address via email when you sign up for a tattoo. If you need it sooner just email me!

I love tattooing a wide range of things but generally find myself most drawn to flora, fauna, old illustrations, weird creatures, special objects, etc etc. Try me! I primarily work in black ink only but sometimes am open to doing a tattoo in a single color. Things I don’t do: very geometric designs, multi color pieces, (most) text.

Okay, you have a great idea and think I'll be a good fit to do your tattoo. I’d love to hear from you! Shoot me an email with your idea, rough size, budget if you have one, and any reference photos you have. No worries if you don’t have all of these but it’s a good place to start and I’ll follow up if I have additional questions.  For this process I ask for an additional drawing fee of $50 to cover my time outside of the appointment spent drawing.  After that I will be in touch with you within a week-week and a half about setting up an appointment. I respond to every email so if you don't get a response from me within two weeks check your spam or feel free to send a follow up email. A few days before the appointment I will send out a sketch and we will fine tune the design from there. If there are major changes that need to be made we may have to reschedule so I have time to redraw but I have found this happens very rarely. These pieces are priced hourly at my $200 hourly rate. I am happy to give a quote of how long I think a piece will take once we have a design and size roughly figured out or adjust detail/size to fit a budget.  I tend to work very quickly. A good rule of thumb for my work is that palm sized and under generally will take an hour-hour and a half and bigger will take longer. Most pieces you see in my portfolio were completed in 1-3 hours with the exception of full sleeves. There will always be space at the time of your appointment to adjust size and make small alterations to the design. 

I price things either at a flat rate or by the hour. Flash pieces are priced at a flat rate with minimum size dimensions and custom work is priced at $200 an hour. I generally work pretty fast and most of my work seen online falls between the $200-600 range. I am generally happy to work within a budget and we can work on a balance of size/detail to accommodate different price points.

Yes! If I think I can do a good job with it I do take these on.
