I specialize in neotraditional, blackwork, illustrative, and black-and-grey realism. My favorite concepts to work with include monsters, animals, nature and organic subjects, fantasy characters, and anything inspired by video games or animation.

To book an appointment, please fill out the contact form here with details about your tattoo idea. I’ll review your submission and get back to you to discuss your concept and schedule a consultation or appointment if it’s a good fit.
I get a lot of messages, and this form helps keep everything organized-for both me and you.
No DMs, texts, or emails! All communication goes through Neon Tiger Atlanta only. Once you submit your form, we’ll take it from there! -
This depends on the studio’s schedule and my availability. Check with Neon Tiger Atlanta for walk-in availability through Instagram, or book a consultation for custom designs!

-
I aim to respond within 1–2 days. I do not respond to DMs or texts. Email or Neon Tiger Atlanta is the best way to reach me. Due to the nature of tattooing, I cannot always be on my phone, and it’s just me answering messages. Sometimes messages get lost, so feel free to follow up. I’m still an apprentice, so thanks for your patience.
-
The studio’s minimum rate for any tattoo is $150, which covers labor and materials. The final price depends on the size, style, and complexity of your design. Full-day sessions for larger or more detailed pieces usually have a set rate. Occasionally, discounted tattoos or flash designs are offered during promotional events. Rates are non-negotiable.
-
Yes, I do require a non-refundable deposit to secure your appointment. This deposit goes toward the total cost of your tattoo and protects the time and preparation put into designing each piece. Deposit details will be provided once we’ve agreed on a date.
Tattoos under $600 require a 50% deposit.
Tattoos over $600 require a $400 deposit to book.
-
You’ll see your design the day of your appointment. Minor adjustments can be made then, no problem. If larger changes are needed, an additional deposit may be required to cover the extra design work, and we’ll need to reschedule. Most details should be finalized during your consultation to make sure everything is ready for your session.
-
Deposits are non-refundable but remain valid for 6 months from the date of booking or your last appointment.
Reschedule or cancellation penalties are as follows:
7+ days notice: No penalty
4–6 days notice: 25% penalty
1–3 days notice: 50% penalty (deposit must be replenished to reschedule)
Same day or no-show: 100% loss of deposit (new deposit required to reschedule)
Extenuating circumstances may be considered at the discretion of the studio.
-
Rescheduling is rare, but I manage multiple medical conditions, so occasionally I may need to adjust appointments last-minute. I always do my best to accommodate your schedule and appreciate your patience.
-
If you’re experiencing any symptoms of illness, please reach out to reschedule your appointment. Since I’m immunocompromised, even a minor sickness can put me out of work for weeks or months. Your health and mine both matter, so there’s no extra deposit required if you’re genuinely sick. I’d much rather you reschedule than risk either of us losing time. If you’d feel more comfortable, you’re always welcome to request that I provide you with a mask or wear one myself during your appointment.
-
Get a good night’s sleep and eat a solid meal before your appointment.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your session.
-
Yes, after your tattoo session, I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Following these steps is essential to keep your tattoo vibrant and reduce the risk of infection.
-
While the initial healing phase is usually complete in about 1-2 weeks, a tattoo can take up to 4 weeks to fully heal. During this time, be vigilant with aftercare to keep it clean, moisturized, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid swimming, the beach, or submerging in water during the first 4 weeks.
-
Yes, I offer free touch-ups for all my clients. Just let me know if you’d like to come in for a touch-up after your tattoo has healed.
-
Absolutely! I love working on custom designs to bring your unique ideas to life. The more information you can give me in your inquiry, the better I can tailor a design to fit your vision.
-
I work at Neon Tiger Tattoo Atlanta-based in West Midtown. Full address details will be provided when we confirm your appointment.
-
My studio does not allow guests, so you’ll need to come alone to your appointment. This helps maintain a calm, focused environment for the tattooing process.
-
No. For safety, legal, and professional reasons, no one under 18 is permitted in the studio at any time; even if they are not being tattooed. Our workspace contains equipment, materials, and imagery that are not age-appropriate. This policy helps maintain a safe, hygienic, and focused environment for both artists and clients. Please make childcare arrangements before your appointment.

Messages and appointments are for tattoo or art related purposes only. Any unsolicited personal, romantic, or sexual messages, or contact made for reasons other than commissioning work, will not be tolerated and may result in permanent removal as a client. Only reach out outside these topics in the case of a genuine tattoo emergency through email or the studio.
