About Me
Hi! I’m Priya, a Brooklyn based tattoo artist. I am self taught and have been tattooing part time for the past two years. I currently work out of my home studio. I center my practice around comfort, and consent, and hope to create tattoos that are affirming for queer folks like myself!
When I’m not tattooing, I work full time in the boring ol’ corporate world. I have my Masters in HR and work in operations in ad agencies, so please bring me all your work qualms during our session or let me help you make more money!

Rescheduling
At this moment, I am flash only, and only tattoo my own work. I do not do variations of my work outside of swapping colors to work with your skin tone, but I tattoo all of my designs multiple times until I am no longer interested in the piece. Customs will be available again starting Spring 2025. Currently, I do not allow other tattoo artists to tattoo my work, and I do not take commissions. I only tattoo on Saturdays and Sundays, without exception. I work a full time job M-F and will not tattoo you in the evening or at all during a weekday.
My studio is based out of my home in Ridgewood off the Myrtle Wyckoff L.
There is a small staircase of four stairs to enter the building, and my studio is on the first floor. I allow my clients to bring a guest if they need some support but it’s a small space so I can’t accommodate more than that unless you all are getting tattoos together.
I require COVID tests ahead of appointments and masks during appointments. While the government may have given up, I have not when it comes to COVID safety. If you do not send a negative COVID test ahead of your appointment you will not be allowed into the studio. Masks are also required. I have extras in the studio if you forget to bring one.
Reschedules happen, please just let me know! If you no call/no show me, I will not book with you in the future. If you do need to reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible. If it is under 48 hrs before your appointment, you will be required to place a new deposit that will not go towards the final price of the tattoo. I have rolling books, meaning they are always open for any appointment up to 8 weeks in advance. You can use the below link to access the available dates and times. Select a date/time that works for you, answer the required questions, and place your $50 deposit. That’s it!
Pricing
All flash appointments require a $50 deposit to book that will go towards the price of the final tattoo.
Payments are made using Stripe, so through a debit or credit card. Payments day of should be made in cash. My pricing is broken down into four distinct tiers. My flash book is for the most part broken into these tiers to help clarify, and also explained below. These prices are per piece, not appointment.

FAQ
Do you offer touch ups?
Yes, I offer free touch ups for life. Please shoot me a DM to schedule!I have a really great custom idea, will you make an exception?
While it is an HONOR, that you think I would be the best fit for a custom, I do not have the capacity for customs at the moment. I can happily refer you to a fantastic artist who will be perfect for the piece!
Do you do color tests?
Yes! I offer free color tests, shoot me a DM and we’ll get one booked, or let me know at the start of your appointment if you’d like to add one on.
I am traveling and only in town on a weekday, can I get a weekday appointment?
Sorry to say, you cannot! I do not tattoo on weekdays because I have a full time job and I will not take a PTO day to tattoo you, I’m sure you can understand. There are a number of AMAZING artists who tattoo on weekdays.
Can you tattoo at my event?
While I have tattoo’d at events previously, I have learned this is not a great environment for me to tattoo. Right now, I will not work at events but this may change.
Can you teach me to tattoo? Or do you need an apprentice?
I am a self taught artist and am very much still learning myself. I have no authority or business telling anyone how to tattoo!! If you would like to pick my brain about tattooing in person, feel free to book an appointment and ask me during our session, or shoot me a DM and I can send you some resources.
Can I text you to book an appointment?
No. I only give out my phone number for you to contact me when you have arrived. Please do not use my number otherwise to reach me about any tattoo related and/or personal things. I do not save my clients’ numbers and delete our convos quickly, so I won’t know who you are and will not respond. Only use official channels such as email or IG DM to contact me.
Do you do any trades for tattoos?
At the moment, I do not. I only have a very small amount of time to tattoo, and prefer to use that time for paid appointments.
If I book a flash, can I ask for a variation during the appointment?
No. I do not do variations outside of color swaps and incredibly minor changes (e.g. removing sparkles or shading, or changing a few lines). My appointments are only 2 hours, there is only time to tattoo, not draw during our session.
Aftercare
I wrap with second skin. Leave second skin on for 24 to 48 hrs. Remove second skin in the shower, pulling on one corner parallel to the skin like a command strip. Do not rip off the second skin aggressively. Once second skin is removed, wash your tattoo twice a day with a gentle, unscented soap. Dry with a clean paper towel, and moisturize with an unscented moisturizer.
Tattoos take about two to three weeks to heal. In that time, do not go swimming or submerge your tattoo. Avoid touching the tattoo with unclean hands, and do not put additional products on the tattoo aside from moisturizer until fully healed (this includes sunscreen!).
It is normal for tattoos to itch or flake. Do not scratch the tattoo and if it is flakey, additional moisturizer will help.
You will know your tattoo is healed once it is flat to the skin and no longer peeling. If you have any questions on the healing process, or what products to use, please DM me!
