bird world offers three types of flash: Seasonal, Perennial, and Archived.

✶ Seasonal flash is a thematic collection of designs inspired by the season it’s available for. Seasonal flash is available to book at the start of the season and is available for the duration of that season only. Books remain open until there are no appointments available.

✶ Perennial flash is an evergreen collection of 50+ designs that is available to book year-round, or whenever appointments are available. This small bop collection is created with Short appointments in mind. Perennial flash can be viewed on Patreon for paid subscribers, or chosen from the book during your appointment.

✶ Archived flash is the collected Seasonal flash designs from the past year, available to book for paid Patreon subscribers only. It includes the last four Seasonal flash collections, with occasional exclusions for retired designs that reached their claim limit (4).

Please see Available Flash for a step-by-step breakdown on how to book.

Books open at the same time new flash is dropped, usually on the day of a new season or a couple days before. The best way to stay in the loop is by subscribing to the [newsletter]. Paid Patreon subscribers get early access to new flash and availability.

A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your appointment.

Appointments are securely booked through my website via Acuity. You may select a design, pay your deposit, and secure a date that works for your schedule all in one place.

I will only ask you to book through the website. I will not reach out via DM or text to schedule an appointment or take payment. Please send me an email if you notice any suspicious activity during your booking experience, or you need accommodations for this process.

✶ Appointments are available on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 12:30pm and 3:30pm.

I offer two types of appointments: Short and Long. Please refer to your chosen design’s flash description to confirm which appointment you’ll need during booking.

✶ Short appointment: 2.5 hours total, can accomodate one small tattoo (3” or smaller). Please come prepared with 2-3 placement ideas to help us maximize time.

✶ Long appointment: 4+ hours, can accomodate one larger / complex design (3” or larger). Please come prepared with 2-3 placement ideas to help us maximize time.

My process and practice are intentionally slow. I can only tattoo one design per appointment. This ensures you get the best tattoo possible and helps me avoid burnout. I may reach out to suggest scheduling adjustments to ensure you get the best tattoo possible.

The best way to get multiple tattoos, especially larger/more complex tattoos, is to book additional appointments.

However: Long Appointments can sometimes accomodate up to two small designs (3” or smaller). Traveling clients who want multiple tattoos, gap fillers, and compositions with multiple flash designs are booked on a case by case basis. Please send me an email with your vision and we’ll find the right appointment for you.

✶ Short appointment: Starts at $300 (deposit deducted at the time of your appointment). Please refer to your chosen design’s flash description to confirm the total cost.

✶ Long appointment: Starts at $550 (deposit deducted at the time of your appointment). Please refer to your chosen design’s flash description to confirm the total cost.

I price tattoos based on the complexity, size, and placement of the design as well as how long it will take to tattoo. I offer a flat rate (not hourly) with an appointment minimum of $300. My tattoos typically range $300 - $550, with exceptions for larger pieces.

Each appointment requires a $50 non-refundable deposit to book which goes toward the cost of your tattoo. Your deposit is collected when you reserve your selected design(s). Deposits are collected securely via Stripe — if you notice suspicious activity please notify me immediately and do not send any funds.

Cash is strongly preferred but Venmo is also accepted.

Tipping Policy: Tips are welcome and encouraged but not an expectation. In lieu of cash tips, I also like coffee beans and whole leaf tea, wine, ceramics, books, or gift certificates to bake shop.

✶ Short Appointment: 2.5 hours; expect 1.5 - 2 hours of tattooing.

✶ Long Appointment: 4 hours; expect 2.5 - 3.5 hours of tattooing.

Single sessions are usually limited to four hours of tattooing. If I am able to work on your tattoo longer than four hours, we will discuss and agree to this during your appointment.

Allow yourself plenty of buffer time between your tattoo and other plans, and please let me know if there is a time that you need to leave. While I do my best to provide an estimate of how long the tattoo will take, there are many unknown factors including but not limited to stencil creation, stencil placement, necessary bio breaks and rest, chit chat, and documenting the work.

If it is important to you to complete a piece in one sitting (travel, etc) please let me know in advance.

If a tattoo cannot be completed within four hours, it will likely require another session. This is a boundary meant to maintain both of our well-being and the quality of my work.

Appointments for continuing work are prioritized and may be booked in person at the end of your first session, with an additional $50 deposit.
