How I Design

Freehand Channeling
This is a live process where I draw directly onto your body, following the natural contours, shapes, and flow of your form. I respond to your body’s story—its scars, markings, and unique landscape. This approach lends itself beautifully to abstract work, sigilism, flowing line work, and designs that wrap and move with your body’s curves.

Pre-Designed
For this process, I draw directly onto photos you send me of your body, ensuring the design perfectly fits your natural shape and curves. Pre-designed tattoos are ideal for incorporating specific symbolism, intricate imagery, or detailed elements—like a particular plant, animal totem, or perfectly symmetrical design.

This method supports those who prefer to sit with their design.

Can I do both Freehand and Pre-Designed in one piece?

Absolutely. Many pieces become a blend of both. We may start with a pre-designed element something symbolic, detailed, or symmetrical that’s been drawn onto a photo of your body and stenciled on during your session. From there, I can add freehanded lines or wrapping forms that respond directly to your body in real time.

FAQ

✧ What is ritual and why do you include it?
For me, ritual is presence. It is the act of breathing intention and life into what you are creating, of honoring the space between the physical and the unseen. Ritual is the remembrance of how powerful we truly are. As we are weavers of creation, destruction, and preservation.
In my devotion to tattoo, I see each mark as an offering on the altar of the body. These ceremonies are a way to alter the altar with consciousness and care.

✧ Design Process & Offerings & Pricing

Each tattoo I create is channeled with care and presence. I pour deep attention into every design, ensuring it reflects your intention. Because of the time and energy this requires, I charge for design work separately.

This includes any revisions necessary to arrive at a clear and embodied full yes for both of us. Design time allows for full collaboration ~ your input is always welcome and encouraged.

My tatu rate is $280/hour, but please note: this only applies to time the machine is running. For example: if we’re in ceremony for 8 hours and I spend 3 hours actually tattooing, you are only charged for those 3 hours.

Ritual time is part of the offering and is not charged for. If you feel especially nourished by the ritual container, offerings of gratitude through tips are graciously accepted.

I offer a sliding scale of $200–280/hour for indigenous relatives of turtle island.

✧ A Note on Currency & Trust

For me, currency begins with trust ~ before money, before time, before ink touches skin.

Trust is the invisible thread that makes this work sacred. When you choose to step into ceremony with me, you’re not just booking a service, you’re entering a space of vulnerability, transformation, and creative collaboration. I honor the courage it takes to alchemize.

✧ What kind of ink do you use?
I use Dynamic Ink. I encourage all clients to do their own research on inks and ingredients if you have specific sensitivities or curiosities. Please enter our space informed and clear about your bodies needs.

✧ Where do you work from?
I work from my sweet home studio nestled on beautiful land in Northern California. I also travel to offer this work in other regions. There’s an airport close by for those traveling in and plenty of beautiful spaces to stay.
