Talismanic Tattoos
A talismanic tattoo is a tattoo whose image has been intentionally and intuitively created using symbols personal to you in order to harness particular spiritual energies in order to facilitate deep transformation and healing.
​
For this offering, I use trance meditation to connect to your unconscious through a narrative, from which images will take the form of a tattoo that will not only represent you at this point in your journey, but will act as a guiding spirit to your future and past selves. I like to see the process as diving into the deep pool of your unconscious, fishing out symbols, and fitting them together like puzzle pieces. This type of tattooing is ceremonial and spiritual, a blend of my own forms of knowledge and craft.

FAQ
​
What is the process like for booking an appointment?
Booking is always open for talismanic tattooing. You can request an appointment through this google form. I will gather some information about you and about your intentions for the piece through this form, and then I will reach out via email to schedule an appointment for an initial virtual consultation.​
​
What should I expect from the initial consultation?
The virtual consultation is an hour long and will give us time to discuss the visual narrative that will illuminate the creation of your tattoo. In preparation for the consultation, I use a variety of psychic and spiritual tools to find the narrative and to guide you through it. This includes a combination of guided meditation, astrology, tarot, Reiki, etc. Sessions look different depending on the person and their individual needs. The consultation itself is a spiritual guidance session as well as a gateway to bring further into focus the symbols that will be personally healing and transformative to you at this time through the tattoo.
​
What happens after the initial consultation?
After speaking with you, I will book you an appointment to get the tattoo, and you will also be sent an email with my notes from the consultation, which includes my research on your chart and relevant symbolic connections. I will then begin working on the design, and we will have time in person during the tattoo appointment to edit the design if needed.
What does pricing look like?
Currently, my minimum for this offering is $600, and I can work within your budget as long as it is above the minimum. The cost of this offering reflects that this is essentially a combination psychic/spiritual reading and a tattoo, which requires additional labor and prep work than typical tattoo sessions.
Do I need to know anything about astrology or tarot to get this type of tattoo?
No! Although I expect that people interested in this offering are probably at least curious about divination and spirituality, no prior experience or knowledge is necessary in order to benefit from this offering. I only ask about your familiarity with these topics on my booking form so that I can gauge how technical or not I can be during our consultation.
​
What If I don't know my birth time?
Astrology is just one method of reading your internal and external energies in the present moment. I can get enough information from your chart using just your birthday and location, and I have a variety of methods besides astrology that help me to further tap into the symbols that are speaking to you right now, so a birth time is not necessary if you do not have access to it.
