About Caitlin
-
Hiya! My name is Caitlin (she/they), and I’ve been tattooing on skin since June of 2021.
-
I’ve always loved art, and have been drawing and doodling ever since I was a little kid. When I started getting tattooed as an adult, I realized how therapeutic it was for my mental health, and my body dysmorphia to be able to express myself in such a way, and I realized that I wanted to be able to provide a therapeutic, affirming, and meaningful experience to others looking to get tattooed.
-
I love to tattoo anything involving nature (but definitely have a bias towards birds), as well as florals, bones, and various other trinkets. I also love to do American traditional style tattoos as well!
How To Book
NEW CLIENTS:
-
When my books are open, there will be a link to a Google Form in my Instagram bio. If you would like to submit a request for a tattoo, I ask that you please fill out one of these forms.
-
If your tattoo request/concept is chosen, you will receive an email from me within 2 weeks of my books closing to schedule an appointment.
-
I hope to be opening my books every 4 months or so, so about 3 times a year.
RETURNING CLIENTS:
-
Returning clients do not need to wait for my books to be open, and they are more than welcome to send me an email to book another appointment.
-
I will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18
-
I would like to avoid tattooing hands, fingers, and anywhere on the head, such as behind the ear
-
I will not appropriate cultural symbols or imagery, or do any sort of caricatures (ex: dream catchers, native or hula pin-ups, war bonnets, etc.)
-
Absolutely no hate symbols
-
Other artists work without explicit permission from the artist
-
I may not be the right artist for you, and that’s totally okay! I am more than happy to provide recommendations for other artists based on the tattoo you are looking to get!
-
-
If you are more than 15 minutes late without an email or contacting me, it will be considered a no-show cancellation, and your deposit will be forfeited.
-
if you notify me that you are running late, but would be there over 30 minutes after our original start time, we will likely need to reschedule due to time constraints
-
I understand that life happens - if you are running late, and still plan to make your appointment within 30 minutes of the original start time, please contact me and let me know!
-
If a cancellation is with less than 48 hours notice, the deposit will be forfeited.
-
I completely understand if you need to reschedule, as I myself deal with chronic pain and illness. If you need to reschedule, please let me know. In the case of client rescheduling, the deposit may be moved up to 2 times, and after that, if we need to reschedule again, I will ask you to put down another deposit.
-
-
I offer free touch-ups within a year of the original tattoo appointment or within a year of the final appointment if the tattoo is done in multiple sessions
-
If you need to contact me about getting a touch up, please email me with the subject line including: "touch up, (insert your name). You do not have to wait for my books to be open to schedule a touch up.

Pricing Information
-
My current hourly rate $150/hr, minimum is $100, and I require a $50 non refundable deposit that does go towards the cost of the tattoo.
-
The end price is calculated based purely on needle to skin time, and does not include time spent placing the stencil, consulting, breaks, etc.
-
Although cash is generally preferred, I am also able to take card, Venmo, and PayPal
-
Tips are always appreciated! Cash tips are preferable, but card works as well. I also am down for non-monetary tips such as artwork, handmade items, food, etc.
