Full Day Flash Session Pre-booking Info
Seasonal Considerations
Consider your future plans. The healing process requires 2-4 weeks, and it’s crucial to keep your tattoo clean, protected from sun exposure, and to avoid swimming/prolonged water submersion. I cannot tattoo sunburned skin, so take care to wear sunscreen leading up to your appointment.
How do full day flash session appointments work?
You’ll arrive for your appointment at 11:00 and choose from my book of available flash, which is filled with designs reflective of my portfolio; similar to tattoos you'd see on my Instagram or website. The designs vary in size, with the majority of them being around palm-sized. (Each design may be repeated multiple times, although I do frequently add and retire designs.)
My complete book of designs is not available online, but you can find previews in the Designs highlight on my Instagram profile, and you’re welcome to come view my book in person before your appointment.
We can discuss what’s possible to complete during your session, but for general reference; depending on detail, a 3x4" tattoo could take from 1.5-3 hours. A 4x6" tattoo could take around 3-4 hours. Larger designs are more difficult to estimate and naturally require more flexibility—keep in mind that if you choose multiple larger designs, the full day session doesn’t guarantee that your tattoo(s) will be finished in one day. I always do my best to communicate expectations as we go!
After you choose your design(s), we will place stencil(s) and get to tattooing. We can take breaks whenever you wish. About midway through the day, we’ll take a meal break. You can bring lunch with you (we have a fridge and microwave), or we have multiple food options within steps of the studio! Next door is DC Vegetarian, and just across the street is The Lot food cart pod with tons of options.
Full day sessions do not break down strictly to an hourly rate for tattooing, but at maximum we can tattoo 6 hours. It’s up to you whether you want to sit for that long, or if you’d rather take it easier. The flat rate reserves my entire day for you, so whether you aim for the max amount of tattoo time or choose to “tap out” earlier, the full $1000 is due (minus your deposit!) and our session will end at 6:00PM.
Pricing
Flat rate of $1000 with a $200 deposit (deducted from the total).

Reschedules and Deposits
