cap moon tattoos
✿ since 2021 ✿
it all started at a tattoo apprenticeship in Brooklyn, New York.
they saw my passion for plant knowledge and my work as a florist, where i was drawn towards a focus in botanical, illustrative tattoo designs.
the journey took us to our hometown of San Francisco, and now we’re based in Oakland.
concepts I prefer to do:
flash designs
personal artwork
create your own flower arrangement
large scale botanical
winged creatures (birds, butterflies, fairies)
water subjects (waves, fish, seashells, starfish)
fruits, roots, sprouting seeds
whimsical wares (vases, matcha bowls, cups, etc.)
sky/cosmic (stars, sparkles, swirls, clouds, constellations)
quilt patterns / bows
abstract freehand waves and lines
personal cultural mementos (fans, dishes, heirlooms)
additions to existing tattoos *case by case basis
chains, jewelry, adornments
these placements: arms, legs, hips, back, chest, ribs, ear ~
✿ payment options
a non-refundable deposit of $111 is accepted (via Venmo or Zelle) to secure your appointment, and goes towards the final price of your tattoo at the end of our session ~
cash is highly preferred ~ an estimate will be communicated before our appointment.
✿ scheduling / cancellations
your deposit is good for one reschedule with at least 24-hour notice before your appointment ~
a new deposit is required if you have to cancel within 24 hours ~
no call/no shows will not be rescheduled ~
✿ late policy
if you're running late, life happens ~ but I will only wait for 15 minutes (if you've communicated to me before the start-time of our appointment).
if you are more than 15 minutes late to our appointment without communicating to me a new deposit is required.
✿ customs process
customs are designed at a 3.5 inch minimum (please refer to my booking info for more information on what kind of customs I am open to tattooing). my starting rate for customs is $300 ~
I am more than happy to make edits to your design. anything more than minor edits will require a re-drawing fee at a pro-rated price for our tattoo session ~
each tattoo is hand-drawn, then resized and digitally edited to ensure a crispy stencil ~
concepts I don't prefer to do:
cover-ups *case by case basis
color tattoos (except red or brown depending on proposal)
tribal work
geometric designs
fonts or lettering (unless from flash)
replicas of tattoos by other artists or pinterest
portraits (human or animal)
landscapes *case by case basis
these placements: hands, fingers, feet, toes, behind the ear, groin, buttcheeks, face, mouth, neck, stomach ~
✿ guest policy
please try to let me know at least 24 hours in advance if you will be bringing a guest.
✿ before your appointment
please come fully fed and hydrated before your appointment! I am more than happy for you to take snack breaks but your body will handle the tattoo much better if you come in your healthiest self.
wear loose and comfortable clothing especially in the area which you'll be tattooed, and something you don't mind getting stencil or tattoo ink on in case!
bring anything that will bring you extra comfort if you'd like (headphones, a stuffed animal, a blanket, snacks, a cute beverage, and of course a water bottle).
feel free to let me know if you prefer a silent session or a chatty session, or we can go with the flow ~
