thank you for your interest in booking with me!

Hi my name is M and I am a half-Japanese, autistic, trans/non-binary tattooer and the owner of Jackalope Tattoo.

My pronouns are THEY/THEM.

Please read through all of my booking information prior to inquiring. I know it is a lot but it is easiest for my neurodivergent brain to have things done this way so I can do my job to the best of my ability! I appreciate your patience and understanding in advance.

I have been tattooing for 13 years and I specialize in gender affirming tattoos including 3-d nipple work, graft re-coloring, phalloplasty tattoos, scar cover up’s, scalp micro pigmentation (SMP), mastectomy tattoos, and black and grey portrait/realism work. Please refer to my full list of specialties and work that is not a fit for me below.

I work hard to care for my community and other marginalized communities by offering nipple tattoo work and color tests outside of my regular hours. I come in early or stay late to accommodate these projects so you do not have a long wait to get in. You do not need to apply for my waitlist for this type of work. Color tests/skin tests are complimentary for black and brown clients.

All other projects will be placed on my waitlist. Please send me an email with your inquiry to apply for the waitlist.

I will not give estimates of when you will get tattooed. On average the time on my waitlist is 10-12 months.

I add appointments to my calendar every couple of months and continue to move down the line of my waitlist in consecutive order. When it is your turn to book, I will reach out to you to book a consultation for your project and we will book your tattoo during the consultation.

I require a $100 (cash or venmo only) deposit in order to be placed on my waitlist . The deposit is nonrefundable but will go towards the overall price of your tattoo. This deposit will hold your spot on my waitlist and then will float to hold your tattoo appointment when booked. You can review our deposit and cancellation policy here.

 I look forward to potentially working with you!
