Harper prices each tattoo per piece, taking into account size, design complexity, and the time required to both draw and tattoo your artwork. If you’re planning a custom tattoo with Harper, simply submit a request through the form. She’ll review your idea and provide a personalized price range so you know exactly what to expect.

Touch-ups are completely normal and often necessary for fine-line tattoos. We typically check in around 6–8 weeks after your appointment to assess how your piece has healed. If you—or Harper—feel it would benefit from a touch-up, we’ll get you scheduled.

All touch-up sessions are offered at a reduced rate of $50 per hour.

•A $75 non-refundable deposit is required for all services at the time of booking. This fee will NOT be applied toward your service and covers the art fee and reserves your appointment.

•If you no call/no show, you will be prevented from booking future appointments.

•72 hours notice must be given to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

• If you are more than 15 minutes late a late fee may be applied to your final tattoo cost if we are still able to see you. We reserve the right to cancel/reschedule your appointment if you are more than 15 minutes late, in order to respect both my time and any clients after you. You will be required to submit a new deposit if you wish to reschedule.

We are an electronic payment only business.

Cash is ONLY accepted for tips.
