Thanks so much for considering me for your tattoo!
Current wait time is approximately 2–3 months. I work by appointment only, but my books are always open.

What to expect depending on project

Below you’ll find links where I break down how I work, depending on the type of project.
Each tattoo is unique, and expectations can vary widely—so I’ve outlined different approaches based on what we’re creating together.

Color Sleeves
Black & Gray Sleeve
Portraits
Small Tattoo
Fusion Tattoo (mix of black/gray &color)

Deposit & Pricing Information

(All deposits go toward the final cost of your tattoo)

```
$500 deposit for single-session tattoos
```

$1000 deposit for multi-session projects (half sleeves, full sleeves, back pieces, etc.)

I price tattoos in two ways:

Large Projects

```
For full-day sessions (6-9 hours), I charge a flat rate of $2000.
```
- This caps the day, regardless of how long we work.
- It breaks down to about $250/hour.

Small Projects

```
For tattoos under 4 hours, I charge $250 per hour.
```
- This option offers more flexibility for smaller or shorter sessions.

Design Process

All tattoos are 100% custom, and design costs are included in the final price.
I'm a firm believer in getting your design right—it’s going to be with you forever.

2–4 weeks before your appointment, we’ll begin crafting your piece.
I use tools like ZBrush, Daz3D, KeyShot, and AI to build a one-of-a-kind design.
The design process typically takes 10–30 hours, and I’ll send updates along the way so you can see your vision come to life.

Rescheduling & Deposit Policy

Deposits are non-refundable, but if you need to reschedule, I’ll do my best to accommodate and roll your deposit over so it’s not lost.

I can’t wait to bring your vision to life—thanks again for the trust!

2-Day Back-to-Back Sittings

For traveling clients working on larger projects, I often recommend multi-day sessions. They help reduce travel costs and maintain design consistency, ensuring the entire piece flows together seamlessly.

Now, I know what you're thinking:
“Holy crap, Javi—doesn’t that hurt like hell to go over it again the next day?”

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Not exactly.

By avoiding the areas we worked on the day before (unless we’re connecting parts), we prevent overworking the skin and keep things as calm as possible. Plus, a good night’s sleep helps your body recharge—restoring endorphins and bringing you back to full strength for the next session.

Below are a few examples of multi-day pieces in action, so you can see how it all comes together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Do you do small tattoos?
A: Yes, just all depends on what you have in mind.
Q: If I payed you more, can you squeeze me in? I cant possibly wait so long!
A: No, it doesnt matter how much “extra” you pay, I cant possibly cancel someone who has been waiting so long just to make an extra “buck”. Its simply not fair to the rest of my clients.
Q: I can only come in on the weekend, can you schedule me for Saturday or Sunday?
A: Unless I’m at a convention, I try my best to not work on the weekend, mostly because the weekends I try to keep for family time with my kiddos!
Q: I noticed you dont have Mandala/Dot work, do you only do realism?
A: Yes, I focus mostly on realism, I do have a few friends that are fantastic at that style, so if you contact me for that, ill do my best to send you in the right direction!
Q: How much is a sleeve?
A: Sleeve costs can vary, just keep in mind that full sleeves are expensive (several thousands) always best to give a detailed idea in the contact form to be able to give a good idea of pricing so you can plan it out.
Q: Do you tattoo darker skin tones?
A : I do, but there are slight limitations with the way tattoo ink works within the skin, but that doesnt stop us from making a great tattoo!
Q: Do you prefer Color or Black and Gray?
A: I love doing both! its almost like asking “which child is your favorite” haha! To me it all depends on the content and client preference, but i do always recommend staying away from color if you get alot of sun!
Q: Do you fix tattoos another artist did?
A: I do, but i typically always recommend to get removal first since there are some things I just cant fix.
Q: I love a Tattoo you recently posted, I want to tattoo the exact same thing! Can you?!
A: Absolutely not! We can make a variation to it, but i absolutely refuse to tattoo the exact same piece twice especially since 90% if the work i do is custom to each client!
Q: Do you do “house calls”?
A: Nope, No, and hell to the No. Simply put its just not sterile, the likelihood of infection is unnecessarily high. If your concern is that you dont want to be surrounded by a bunch of other people like at most shops, then you have nothing to worry about, my studio is 100% private!
