Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m a co-owner and tattooer at Fern and Dagger Studios, 133 NE 3rd St, Gresham, OR 97030.

    I specialize in:

    • Neotraditional

    • Illustrative

    • Geometric

    • Blackwork

    • Realism

  • Hourly Rate: $200/hr

    Flat Day Rate: $1000 for larger projects (up to 6 hours)

    Consultation appointments are free.

  • Tattooing begins with conversation. You fill out a request form, and we schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas, intentions, and placement. From there, I’ll develop a design that balances your vision with my artistic voice. The final tattoo is the result of collaboration, care, and attention to detail.

  • Consultations let me get to know you and your ideas. Getting a tattoo is a big decision, and this time ensures we’re aligned on design, placement, and expectations.

    Consultations typically last 10–30 minutes. Afterward, you’ll provide your deposit to secure your appointment.

  • What is the deposit?

    Depending on the session length, I require a $100–$200 non-refundable deposit.

    • Cash is preferred, but I accept card via Square (3.5% service fee applies).

    • The deposit is applied toward your tattoo cost.

    • For multi-session tattoos, the deposit secures your next session while the first session is paid in full at the time of service.

  • Yes — with a 3.5% transaction fee. Cash avoids the fee.

  • Please give at least 48 hours notice. Cancelling or rescheduling within 48 hours results in forfeiting your deposit, which covers time spent preparing your design and appointment setup.

  • Designs are typically shown on the day of your appointment. I aim to create something that you’ll be happy with and make adjustments as needed to ensure it feels right.

    Tattooing is collaborative, and I respect the trust involved in placing permanent art on your body.
