Tattooing Since 2020
Hi I’m Jo! — I’m a tattoo artist who has just relocated to Dallas, Tx from California. I love tattooing surrealism/Realism/illustrative style and of course anything that is silly, colorful, magickal and pretty. Some of my favorite subjects to tattoo are my water elementals, Food theme, florals, and silly mashups, especially when the mashups involve famous renaissance paintings. I enjoy silly pieces, I love making people laugh. If you want something pretty, weird, or anything food themed, then im your girl.

You must reschedule at least 72 hours in advance to keep your deposit fee. Any reschedules requested less than 72 hours in advance (except for serious illness or emergencies) will result in forfeiting your deposit.

Touch-Up Policy
One complimentary touch-up is offered on my work after at least 2 months and no more than 6 months of healing for free. Afterwards you will be charged.
(I do not touch up work from other artists)
Free touch-ups are not guaranteed for areas prone to high fading or improper aftercare.
Cover-ups: Because cover-ups are more complex and may require extra work to fully mask or blend the old tattoo, touch-ups for cover-ups are not free. It is common for cover-ups to need an additional session, and this will be booked as a regular paid session.
Cancellation Policy
You have 24 hours from the day you’ve paid your deposit to cancel your appointment in order to get your deposit returned. Afterwards, deposits are non-refundable under ANY circumstance, no matter the reason for cancellation. whether you’ve changed your mind or have a personal excuse, Deposits are non-refundable NO exceptions.
Project pricing?
I charge a flat day rate for all projects, and I require a full day for all my appointments as color tattoos tend to take quite some time to execute.
If however you need to leave the session earlier or the project is completed under half the amount of time of my full day session, then I will charge it as a half day rate.
I do not create designs or do projects based on half day budget.
I want to make sure i’m giving you my best work so unfortunately I do not work based off a budget.
Keep in mind my sessions include any time I am working, that means working on the design, stenciling, any prep, and of course tattoo application time.
See design in advanced?
I don’t reveal the design until the day of the appointment.
However in some cases I do have clients that are a bit nervous and would like to see the design and make adjustments beforehand. In this case I charge a $250 fee. This fee does not count toward the tattoo and is non-refundable. we will meet no less than a week prior to your booked appointment to meet via zoom video and go over the design and make any changes.
Client-Only design
If at any point during the consultation, or designing of the tattoo, or even at the appointment an outside party (including but not limited to: A partner, friend, family member, coworker, employer, or literally any person that isn’t my client getting the tattoo) interjects, and starts doing all the decision making / overriding my clients preferences, I will decline the project. Even if we’ve made it to the appointment. The outside party may not even like my style and if they’re bringing their demands / input to turn the project into something I do not specialize in then I will refuse to take on the project at all.
The tattoo is for my client and their body, not the outside party. For that reason all creative decisions must come directly from the client. And if you have a partner/friend/ etc who is that way please refrain from bringing them to the consultation / appointment.
Style
I am a color only artist. who specializes in realism / surrealism work only.
I will reject any projects that do not fit my expertise. however I will try my best to recommended some artist I feel like be a better fit.
