I focus on clean work, thoughtful design, and making sure every client feels informed and comfortable. If you value that and connect with my portfolio, then I’m likely a great fit.

I work at Pure Ink Tattoo in Ledgewood New Jersey.

470 Rt 10 W. Ledgewood New Jersey, 07852

Same plaza as Dunkin Donuts, across from the Walmart

My prices will vary based on the length of time needed to complete the tattoo or session. I have an hourly rate of $150/hour and a full day rate of $1000. If you are looking to get an estimate on a tattoo, please fill out my inquiry form.

I work Monday-Thursday from 11-7pm

My availability varies. Some parts of the year I am booked out for two weeks, others I am booked out for two months. Availability also depends on the length on time needed for the appointment. Smaller appointments may have a better chance of getting in sooner where are longer ones may be pushed out a bit.

If you are looking to book a specific day, I would recommend reaching out about a month and a half to a month in advance in order to have a better change of booking the date.

I can not guarantee you will be able to book specific dates.

I can not hold dates for you without speaking with you first and without a deposit

You can reach me via my contact forms! I typically do not answer Instagram messages as it tends to disorganize my process. If you have specific questions not regarding a tattoo, please see the FAQ’S. if you have been in contact with me before, you can email me. Any other questions not answered by FAQ page, you can call the shop to speak to me if available or the receptionist.

Here are a few things you can do that will help us both before your tattoo.

• Exfoliate and Moisturize daily in the week leading to your tattoo appointment

• Purchase aftercare ahead of time

• Get a good nights rest

• Avoid heavy drinking the night before

• Eat a good, filling meal before your appointment

• Shower before the appointment and leave skin free of moisturizer, self-tanners, and lotions

• Gather all necessary documents needed for the appointment (Identification documents)

This is always a tricky question to answer. Lets start by going over the some of the potential risks for using numbing cream before your appointment

• Skin texture changes making it hard to tattoo and can effect the process as well as healing

• Uneven numbing. Some spots will not numb making it more uncomfortable

• Numbness can wear off very quickly making it uncomfortable and intense randomly and quickly

• Ink rejections or uneven saturation which can lead to more touch ups and skin trauma

• May cause tattoo to heal slower due to blood vessel constriction

• Allergic reactions

• Toxicity risk when introduced to open wounds/skin. I will have to stop tattooing if this occurs!

Now with knowing the risks, if you feel as though you cannot get through your session without it, please do the proper research when purchasing and applying numbing cream.

I do not have numbing cream recommendations.

NOTE: For full color pieces, I would strongly recommend NOT using numbing cream before the tattoo. It will affect the process, color and healing! I have lidocaine products we can use during the process that will ease discomfort and help insure the tattoo will heal better.

• Necessary identification documents (Minor’s need extra paperwork! See minors tab in FAQ)

• Wear clothes that provide easy, uninterrupted access to the area you are getting tattooed. You can always bring a change of clothes

• Snacks!

• Sugary drinks

• WATER

• You can bring a pillow or blanket for long sessions

One or two people are perfectly fine!

Please avoid bringing in your whole family or group of friends as we have limited lobby space and space in the tattoo booth.

Aftercare is the most important part of getting tattooed! Here are some aftercare products I recommend that you can purchase before your appointment!

• Hustle Butter (Top Recommendation)

• Aquafor (Cheap and easily accessible. Will do the trick!)

• Tattoo Goo (Good alternative to Hustle Butter)

• Mad Rabbit (Reputable brand, but I have never used it. Do your research!)

• Recovery Derm-Shield (Love this for larger pieces, pieces that are hard to reach and for full color pieces)
