Do you take cash or card?
CASH ONLY. The only time I take card or Venmo/Paypal/Cashapp is for deposits.
Where are you located?
Ghost Town Tattoo Co.
1634 S. Campbell Ave.
Springfield, MO
Do you take walk-ins?
Depends on my availability! I live close to the shop so I can pop in. Never hurts to send me a DM and ask if you’re feeling spontaneous! (Walk-ins are limited to small/quick tattoos)
Do you take deposits?
Yes! All the deposit info can be found in my highlights.
​
Do you work with budgets?
Yes! If what you’re wanting isn’t doable in your budget, I can work with you to give you something that does.
​
How much do you charge?
For smaller one-session pieces I will give you a flat rate once I have all the info I need. For longer multi-session pieces, I will go by the hour. My hourly rate is $150. (Keep in mind I work with budgets!)
Are your books open?
YES. I’ve had my books closed in the past due to high demand, but things have changed mostly due to the state of the economy and people not being able to afford luxury services as much. My books are ALWAYS OPEN! (DM or fill out the form in my bio to book!)
How soon are you available?
It’s always different but usually within the month at the latest.
Do you do touch ups?
For my own work, absolutely. I offer a free touch up within the first year and recommend waiting at least 6 months before touching it up. For others work, it depends! The best thing to do is send me a good clear picture of what you’re wanting touched up and I can see what I can do!
​
How much would (insert random tattoo idea here) cost?
I can quote you as long as I know these things: Size (approx) in inches, placement on the body, and what style you want it in. And again, I work with budgets! So if you include that we can discuss options.
Do you do cover ups?
Only if I’m confident in my ability to do so. The best thing to do is send me a good, clear photo of what you’re wanting covered up and measurements. I may ask to see it in person first. I can let you know what options you may have.
Do you do consultations?
Yes, and they are free! If you are wanting a bigger piece/project done, I’ll most likely ask you to come in for one. If you’d like one, just ask! (I work random hours so we would need to coordinate a time that works for both of us)
Do you tattoo melanated skin?
Of course! Unfortunately I don’t have many examples at the moment, but I’m always happy to tattoo on any skin tone and I’d love to do more.
How should I prepare for my appointment? How should I take care of my tattoo?
All of my before/aftercare info can be found in my highlights or on my website!
​
Do I need to have something drawn out? Do you draw the tattoos?
I draw everything custom. So if all you have are ideas, I’m happy to design something unique for you once you book! You absolutely do not need to have a finalized design ready, and even if you do, I will need to re-draw it since I’ll be tattooing with my own techniques in mind.
It is still very helpful for me if you send pictures of things similar to what you’re wanting or even just stuff in the style you like - so we’re able to be on the same page and I can have a better idea of what you like aesthetically. Also a rough sketch/mockup is helpful if you have a more specific idea, but not required!
​
Can I see my design beforehand?
I usually draw in order of appointment and usually just a day or two before. That way I can keep things fresh in my mind before I tattoo it. I also just prefer not to send designs beforehand due to theft and it being difficult to communicate over texts. I always make sure to leave enough time during your appointment to go over the design and make any changes then when we can discuss face to face. That’s why it’s super important to be clear and specific about what you’re wanting. If you’re uncomfy with this, just ask for a consultation beforehand!
​
How much would a sleeve cost/how long would it take?
There is no set price or time for sleeves, it all depends on subject matter, style, size, etc. The best way to start a sleeve is to set up a consultation with me so we can discuss ideas. From there I will have a better idea of how long it might take.
Sleeves will take multiple sessions (spaced out at least 3-4 weeks apart to allow healing), so if you have a budget per session I can work with you that way! We can also space out the sessions as much as needed. I can let you know what’s doable in your budget or time goals. Just send me your ideas on my booking form and we can go from there!
​
Would you ever travel to (insert location here)?
Right now I am taking a little break from traveling, but I do occasionally do a guest spot or a convention. If there’s ever enough demand for me in one area I’d be more open to going there, so definitely let me know if you’re interested! I post updated on travel here so just keep an eye out.
