FREEHAND SMOKE TATTOOS:

This is a process where I draw the design on your body the day of your appointment. There is no predesign. This requires complete trust between you and me. I can take reference photos if you want something a little more specific, but the final design will be my style.

We will work together on the design as I draw on your body. Feel free to give your inputs and comments. Make sure you’re happy with the design before we start tattooing.

LOCATION:

I’m a resident artist at Bear With Me (@bearwithme_la). The studio is fully licensed, appointment-only, located in Atwater Village, LA.

Masks are required regardless of vaccination status (non-cloth masks are acceptable).

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

We strongly encourage not bringing any guests because we have a small studio. You are allowed to bring one guest maximum, and they will have to wait in the waiting area. If there are already 12 people in the studio when you arrive, we will have to ask your guest to wait somewhere else during your appointment. The neighborhood is walkable & there are many great shops nearby!

PRICING:

I will give you a price range based off of your inquiry.

Below is a general price range for your reference:

  • Freehand smoke: Pricing will be by piece depending on size and placement with minimum of $700 (5 inches minimum). Most of my freehand smoke projects range from $700 - $3000.

    Hand tattoos will cost more. (General rate is $300/hr for your estimation).

    Half sleeve and bigger usually takes all day and will be more expensive ($900+).

    I cap at $1200 a day for big projects that require multiple days. I will give you a sliding scale estimate once I receive your inquiry.

I also post some freehand smoke IDEAS on my flash page @neodoesflash just to give you a reference point.

Your smoke tattoo will be unique to you as we are drawing it on you the day of your appointment.

PAYMENT:

Payment can be made through cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle.

Deposits can be via Debit/Credit Card or PayPal.

Tips are appreciated, but not mandatory!

Please do not bring my designs to get done somewhere else.

RESCHEDULING:

I allow one reschedule per appointment. After that, you will have to pay another deposit. After 3 reschedules, your appointment will be canceled. Deposit is not refundable.

TOUCH-UP:

If you need a touch-up, please email me with a healed photo in good lighting! I will then schedule your free touch up appointment!

One time free touch-up is valid up to a year.

TATTOO TIPS:

PRE-TATTOO: For the 24 hours prior to getting your tattoo, make sure to avoid any blood thinners like alcohol or aspirin.

Make sure to stay hydrated, sleep well, and eat before your tattoo appointment!

Please wear comfortable clothings and moisturize.

POST-TATTOO: I have aftercare products prepared for you, but please also research “tattoo aftercare process”!

You will not be able to exercise or swim for at least two weeks after getting a tattoo. Please schedule your appointment accordingly.

Please remember to wear sunblock daily after your tattoos heal to keep them looking ~fresh~
