A lil bout me:

Hey cutiez I’m Yan, my pronouns are they/them and I am a self taught, POC, Neurodivergent (AuDHD) and Trans Digital Artist and Tattooer. I started tattooing clients at the end of July 2021 and I work in a private studio based in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia that is 18+ Only, LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent Friendly. All genders, skin tones and bodies are welcome!

Flash designs are only done as once-offs. I prefer flash over customs, and to avoid creative burnout I only accept a handfulf customs per month. Generally with customs they’re presented on the day with any adjustments done then. I am selective with what styles and subject matter I accept. If I feel that a custom request is out of scope, I will refer to another artist that would be able to give the tatty of your dreams.

Styles I enjoy doing:

  • abstract

  • bold black and colour work

  • ignorant/naive (continuous line)

  • blastovers

  • mixed machine/handpoke stippling

  • etching (illustrative)

  • calligraphy illustrative

  • selected styles of fontwork

Examples of my work is on my instagram @pleasescratchmethaddy and @pleasescratchmethaddy.flash

How much do you charge?

The minimum I charge is $120 and on average my flash ranges from $120-$800 depending on size, detail and placement. My minimum size is 4cm - I mostly do pieces that are on the midsize range (between 8-20cm and usually around $200 -$550 depending on size and placement).

I’m wanting to gain more experience with larger scale designs (50cm+) so I’m doing heavily reduced rates for torso/back flash designs. These are listed on my flash account @pleasescratchemethaddy.flash and below in the rough price .

rough Size & Price Guide:

Small (4-8 cm): $120-$200

Mid - Large (8-20cm): $200-$450

Large (20cm-50cm) -$450-$800

for a limited time - Full torso/back flash designs (50cm+) - $500

IMPORTANT: Please note that placements like ribs/torso will be priced higher as they generally take more time and are more challenging due to the unique placement compared to arms and legs. If you’re unsure of placement, we can always play around on the day but please keep in mind there will be a re-quote if you have decided to change your original arm/leg placement at the time of booking to the torso. To avoid being jump-scared/taken by surprise, please give me at least 48 hours notice before your session if you decided to change the placement so I can re-quote you ahead of time!

do you charge deposits?

Yes, for all designs and meets the following criteria:

  • Multiple designs in one session

  • Rescheduling within 48 hours before your session

  • Rescheduling for a second time with notice

    A $50 non-refundable deposit partial of the total fee will be required at the time of making the booking for designs less than $400.

    For designs over $400, it will be a $100 non-refundable deposit partial of the total fee required at the time of the booking.

    The remaining amount will be settled on the day of your session via bank transfer or cash.

colour dot tests

If you’re new to colour and wanting to test it out, $50 colour dot tests are available. These dots are small and can be arranged in a circle or a line. These can be placed on the arm/leg to give an idea of what colours work best for your undertone and how colours may progress in your skin over time.

These require a $10 non-refundable deposit to secure the booking and the remaining $40 on the day payable via bank transfer or cash.

For BIPOC clients this is free service, so if you have a deeper skin tone and identify as bipoc, please check the box in the booking form when you fill it out!

Please note with colour dot tests as they’re designed to fade over time and/or be small enough to be covered up that touch ups are not available for this service.

multiple sessions policy

Some tattoos depending on sizing, detail, placement and client’s pain tolerance may require to be broken into two sessions, usually one for linework and the other to finish off with shading and highlights. If the design needs to be broken up into two I give the option of:

  • settling the full amount of the design at end of the first session, the second followup session is covered under the cost

  • paying half for the design at the end of the first session and the other half at the end of the second session

In some cases, if the singular tattoo requires 3 + sessions, to help cover the cost of labour and equipment it’d be an additional charge of $150 for each follow up session ($50 non-refundable deposit included to secure the session and the remaining amount of $100 settled on the day of the session). Needing more than 3 sessions for the single design usually is because of pain tolerance or lack of client prep beforehand, so if you do have a lower pain tolerance or suffer from chronic pain issues please make a note in the form below so I can best accommodate you if you need frequent breaks, certain seating criteria or need to apply numbing cream beforehand or numbing spray throughout!

change of mind/ abandoned/late notice designs policy

For my flash and custom designs I generally prepare the designs and stencils in advance and with customs they are presented on the day with any adjustments done then. Change of mind with designs do happen! If you are no longer vibing with your original design idea and wanting to change it to something completely different, that’s all gravy! I do require 7 days notice before your session of change of mind. No additional charges, there could be a re-quote depending on the new design’s detail, sizing and placement.

Last minute notice can cause backlog on designs that I would be prepping in advance and causes a lot of stress and rushing the design on my part! If you request to abandon your original design and change to another within 3-6 days of your session, there will be an additional design charge on top of the new re-quote to your session:

Flash to Flash: + $50

Custom to Flash: + $50

Flash to Custom: + $100

Custom to Custom: + $150

Less than 48 hours notice will not be enough time for me to accommodate with my scheduling, so if you do wish to change your design within this period then you will need to request to reschedule your session to a later date and your slot will be released out.

Any abandoned flash or custom designs will be available to claim for other clients in the profile highlights.

Rescheduling policy

Situations may arise where you’re no longer able to attend your session which I totally understand! I offer clients that have given adequate notice (more than 48 hours before their session) to reschedule once to hold their deposit, however more than 2 reschedules will incur an additional $50 non-refundable deposit per booking.

Rescheduling within 48 hours of your session will also incur an additional $50 non-refundable deposit for the future session.

cancellations within 48 hours

Situations can arise where you’re no longer able to attend your session. Please let me know as soon as you’re unable to attend your session by contacting me via instagram or email.

no shows

If you are no longer able to attend a session please let me know ASAP! Failure to show up to your session without notice or adequate reason will result in lower priority in rebooking or not moving forward as a client the future.
