Pricing & Estimated Cost
$200
Minimum Rate
Suitable for smaller, fine line pieces or simple designs like symbols, lettering or small florals, that can be completed in a shorter, more focused session.
$450
Half-day Rate
Ideal for medium-sized tattoos, complex placements, small colour design, or more detailed work, allowing enough time for a considered, unhurried session.
$900
Full-Day Rate
Suitable for larger or more complex work, allowing the time and space needed to create something detailed, refined, and thoughtfully executed.
I work using a session-based pricing structure to allow for flexibility, quality, and a more relaxed, collaborative experience. Most projects will fall within one of these options; however, prices may vary, depending on size, detail, placement, and pace.
Please note: These rates are currently set slightly lower while I establish myself in a new city and may increase over time. Payments and bookings are managed through
Square Appointments, which allows for a range of payment options, including Afterpay. Please note that surcharges may apply depending on your chosen payment method.
Weekend Appointments
I typically work Monday to Friday and keep my weekends for rest and recharging. This allows me to show up to each appointment feeling focused, present, and able to do my best work. However, weekend days can be negotiated, but will incur the following surcharge.
+$150
Saturday Surcharge
This is an additional fee on top of the standard quote for any appointments falling on a Sunday. These appointments are limited and by request only.
+$250
Sunday Surcharge
This is an additional fee on top of the standard quote for any appointments falling on a Sunday. These appointments are limited and by request only.
Rescheduling/Cancellations
All rescheduling and/or cancellations must be made by contacting the artist directly via email. Should you cancel your appointment, your deposit is automatically forfeited. If you notify Stay Weird Tattoo within 72 hours of your appointment time, you may transfer your deposit amount for use toward a future booking. This new booking must be made within 24 hours of the cancellation, otherwise the deposit is no longer transferable, and the new booking can be scheduled for any other agreed-upon date/time. Deposits are non-transferable from person to person, and bookings can only be rescheduled once before your deposit is considered forfeit. If you do not attend your appointment, your deposit is forfeit. If extra sessions are required to complete a piece, additional bookings can be arranged with the artist via the same process as the initial booking, with a separate deposit amount required for each booking.
Refunds
No refunds are available on services rendered.
What you're paying for?
Tattooing isn’t just the time spent in the chair—it’s the entire process, from communication and concept ideation through to design development, technical execution, and thoughtful follow-up care. When you book with me, you’re not just booking a tattoo—you’re marking a moment in your life. Something lived, something felt, something worth keeping, and my role is to shape that into something considered, intentional, and entirely yours. I bring a well-trained creative eye, years of design experience, a strong aesthetic sense and an intuitive approach that help me to create something that just feels right.
Your booking includes:
-
A custom design, created specifically for you!
-
A collaborative design process, with time for refinement on the day.
-
A calm, supportive environment, tailored to your comfort.
-
A trauma-informed, human-centred approach.
-
A non-judgmental, welcoming environment where difference is celebrated, not feared!
-
Professional equipment, hygiene standards, and aftercare guidance.
-
A slower, more considered way of working—focused on creating something that feels right, not rushed.
-
Thoughtful follow-up and ongoing support, because I don’t just disappear once you walk out the door.
-
Occasional dad jokes, meme references, bad puns and millennial cringe humour—laughter is mandatory!
-
A 35mm film photo with yours truly, though delivery times are very much not instant.
I’m not a high-volume, quick-turnaround artist. I take a slower, more intentional approach—prioritising quality, comfort, and the overall experience just as much as the final tattoo. Thoughtful work, done properly—because it’s something you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life.
Deposits
A non-refundable 30% deposit is required to secure your booking, and before any design work can begin. This deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo and covers the time spent creating your unique design. Each piece is drawn specifically for you and often can’t be reused, so this ensures I can dedicate my time to clients who are ready to proceed. I’ll always work with you to create something you’re happy with, allowing for revisions until it feels right, and I will not tattoo something unless you're 100% happy with the design, but please note that too many additional revisions and/or complete redesigns will result in additional fees. The remaining amount for your booking will be required on the day of your booking—I accept cash, card & AfterPay; however, please note that card & AfterPay transactions incur a surcharge.
