// QUICK F.A.Q. //

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Commissions: I do not accept personal commissions. If you enjoy my work and want to support it, please consider purchasing my existing work through galleries.

-Commercial Work: I accept commercial work as my schedule allows; I tend to be booked up about a month or so out so advanced notice is strongly recommended.

-Tattoos: I do not accept tattoo design commissions.

I strongly suggest commissioning an original custom design from the actual tattoo artist who will be executing the piece as they know best the limitations of the medium and how to fit a design to your body. Really good tattoo artists are almost always highly skilled illustrators and designers themselves so being asked to execute another artists's work for a tattoo can be insulting. It's far better to find a tattoo artist who's own work you love and commission them to do what they do best. Sure it will cost more but art costs money and this particular art will live on your body until you die, so don't skrimp.

I will allow you to use my existing work for your tattoo. Instead of payment I insist that you make it your responsibility to ensure that the tattoo artist credits me when posting the work online or in their portfolio- even if they have altered my work. If you like my work enough to have it permanently on your body please be responsible in ensuring that I am properly credited; this is to prevent plagiarism from my designs circulating out there on the internet without my name attached to them, not because I want to make your life or your tattoo artist's life difficult. I would love to see photos when it's healed!

-Prints: I do not make prints to-order. I release limited-edition runs every few months, stay tuned to my instagram account for news, or sign up for alerts via my website.
