There are several ways to book with me:

Claiming a design/spin off

Browse instagram or the available designs section to pick something out.

If a design you like has been claimed, I’m happy to create something similar that is still unique from the original.

What you see is what you get, no altering the design besides resizing.

There is no schedule for when these are posted.

Freehand tattoo:

For clients who are comfortable allowing me complete creative control. No planning ahead besides a basic theme. I draw directly on you and once you’re happy with the design, I tattoo directly over the drawing. This is my favorite way to tattoo and I prioritize these projects!

Custom design:

If your idea is something within my interests, we work together to create the design.

Cover-up:

Please send me a photo of what you’d like to get covered so I can determine your options. Cover ups are not always possible.

I ONLY offer freehand botanicals to cover preexisting designs. It’s what works best!

Book me for the day!

For a day rate of $1300 we can tattoo one or any combination of the above options.

The day rate is good for 6 hours of tattooing  which saves you $200. This of course includes extra time for lunch, snacks, and scary stories.

If you end the session before the 6 hours, I charge my regular hourly rate.

I open all my emails. If you’re currently booked with me and have a question about your upcoming appointment, I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.

IMPORTANT:

For new projects, there are several reasons you may not hear back from me:

• I may not be accepting new projects until current ones are completed

• The design you’re interested in has already been claimed or redrawn several times.

• Your custom idea is not in my area of interest

I understand that allowing this much creative control to another person when it comes to permanent body art is not for everyone, and that’s totally okay! I may not be the right artist for you.

Portland has so many talented tattooers! Chances are, with a little research, you will find someone whose style and methods are right for you.

I do not take deposits.

If you don’t show up for your appointment and I haven’t heard anything from you, I may not work with you again in the future.

If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let me know, even if it’s the day before or the morning of. I understand things happen, life is chaotic.

Basic info:

• My hourly rate: $250

• Nightbeetle is located in downtown Portland, Maine. No walk ins. Appointment only.

• Venmo, cash, and credit card accepted
