THE BASICS:

  • I work by “appointment only” at Incognito Tattoo, which is a private studio in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. I am not able to take walk-in tattoos or drop-in inquiries, so please contact me via email for further information about tattoos and consultations.

  • My hourly rate is $200 per hour for tattooing time, minimum price is $200. I accept digital payment methods such as Venmo, Apple Pay, Square card reader, or cash. A $100 deposit is required for appointments and prior to any drawing being undertaken. This deposit is non-refundable if you fail to show up for your appointment without notice.

HOW TO BOOK:

Most tattoo designs can be worked out via email, but for special larger projects or coverups, I can do a consultation in person if needed, to check size, placement and any other issues. Usually I can give you a “ballpark” price/quote on the tattoo you are after, but larger ongoing work is only undertaken at an hourly rate, paid for per session.

Please email me at tattoosara@gmail.com with a description of your idea. Include:

  • Placement options

  • Estimated sizing

  • Style

  • Subject matter

  • Color or black and grey

  • Add any reference images relating to your idea, if you have them

  • Specify if this is a cover-up or near other tattoos

  • Budget limits

Please allow a few days for me to respond, sorry if there is a delay!

APPOINTMENT TIPS:

When you arrive for your appointment text me or knock on the door for entry, as our door remains locked at all times.

Make sure you have had a good night’s sleep and a healthy meal before your tattoo. If you are feeling unwell leading up to your appointment, please contact me as soon as you can - it is not advisable to get tattooed if you are sick as your pain tolerance and immune system will be negatively affected. Even though Covid numbers have waned considerably, we still need to monitor for all cold and flu-like symptoms. I encourage everyone to re-schedule their appointment, at no cost, if they have a temperature, sore throat or any other symptoms or are feeling unwell in any way.

People with periods, also please book major tattoo appointments around your cycle for the same reason - it will hurt a lot more the day of your bleed and just before. I am unable tattoo you if you are pregnant, but it is possible if you are breastfeeding your infant and you have recovered from birth.

Make sure you book tattoo appointments in awareness of and around upcoming summer activities, vacations/travel, or surgeries.

I will not tattoo anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Please bring a government issued photo I.D. to your appointment. You must be 18 years of age or older to be tattooed.

Please also declare if you have any known allergies/sensitivities that could flare up as a result of getting tattooed.

The more relaxed you are during your tattoo, the better experience you will have. Feel free to bring headphones and listen to your music if that helps. Sorry, but I cannot accommodate big groups of friends or family at your tattoo appointment. If you need to bring one companion with you please just let me know. We no longer have a water cooler, so please bring your own water with you to stay hydrated, and any snacks if you need them.

Face masks are now optional for clients, so if you prefer to wear a mask for your appointment, please feel free to do so. If the tattoo placement requires very close face-to-face contact, I tend to wear a mask anyway. Thank you for your understanding!

AFTER GETTING TATTOOED:

I will apply a bandage, go through aftercare instructions with you in person, and will email you a printed copy for your reference. For a week or two you will have to apply an ointment to your tattoo and keep it clean. You will also need to avoid sun exposure, soaking the new tattoo in water, and activities that risk introducing possible bacteria to the tattoo area. So, for example, avoid get a tattoo just prior to going away for a beach vacation, or the day before a camping trip. For those who like using tattoo healing film products (Saniderm, Derm Shield etc) as aftercare, I do have it available on a case by case basis depending on the size of tattoo.

"LA SKIN":

The combination of constant sun, an extremely dry climate and our hard water causes the average Southern Californian to have very dehydrated skin. It’s very important to drink a lot of water every day - not only for your health, but it will make your skin nicer to tattoo, faster to heal, and my job a lot easier! Please consider upping your water intake during the week before your appointment, and using a daily moisturizer to nourish your skin. Trust me, it works!
