My sliding scale rate is $180-300 per hour.

Please allow me to know in advance if you’d like to use the sliding scale system so that I can design a tattoo that reflects your ideal budget. While budgeting, please keep in mind that industry standard for tipping is 20% to cover supply cost and studio fees.
