I’m glad you’re here!

This form will be open until 11:59pm on Sunday, April 27th.

Some tips and important info:

Please use the form below to tell me as much as you can about your tattoo idea.
I’m most likely to choose a project when you have a clear concept and are open to giving me creative freedom with the design.
Feel free to submit for any idea. Some things I like to tattoo include: script lettering, birds & other animals, flowers & plants, handwriting from loved ones, children’s drawings, and illustrations from children’s books.
I’m primarily working in fine line black and grey, with few exceptions. I do also like doing tattoos with thicker lines. I tend to choose arm and leg placement over ribs, chests, or necks.
I will not be able to take on every request.
If I select your tattoo, I will email you by May 31st with a price quote and scheduling information.
Appointments will take place this spring, summer, and fall.
My minimum is $350. I set a flat rate for each piece.
If I select your tattoo, you’ll be able to choose your appointment date from all available dates.
Appointments will take place at my private studio, Rabbit Ear, located at 5141 Walnut Street in Philadelphia.
Each person should fill out their own form. If you are submitting with a friend or family member each person should fill out a form.
Please become familiar with the Policies and Frequently Asked Questions before submitting.

*If you’re interested in a script tattoo, you can choose from the following styles.

thurston is my favorite style for medium-sized and smaller but not tiny letters. It also works great for larger pieces with less embellishment than holden.

adelaide is my favorite style for single needle tattoos. Similar to thurston in shape, but especially for tiny words.

maskelyne is a minimalist style option for tiny, almost illegible single needle tattoos.

holden is the choice if you want to get a larger, more dynamic tattoo. You can get this without the border if you prefer, or with more flourishes if you want something more elaborate.
