Questions & Answers
Consultations, deposits, waiting lists, pain and healing.
Booking & Deposits
Start with a consultation: free, thirty minutes, with the artist you want. They draw the piece, and you book the sittings with a deposit.
The deposit is 20% of your first sitting, between $100 and $300. It holds your sitting and comes off the price of your last session.
