I work out of my studio, The Hideaway Tattoo shop located in San Diego, CA at 1235 Hotel Cir S STE A.

My mini flash designs are charged at a flat rate of $250. My regular flash designs are $220/hour. Custom designs are $250/hour. All regular flash and custom design requests will be sent an estimated expected time needed when booking.

Unfortunately, that is out of my comfort zone, I will only Disney-ify animals.

You can find my flash on my Instagram!

You can book an appointment by submitting a booking request form linked here.

Note, that all appointments are by appointment only. I do not take walk-ins.

Cash ONLY on the day of appointment but deposits are to be paid via Venmo

Deposits are required for booking all new appointments (besides touch-ups). Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable and are required within 24 hours of booking most appointments. For short-notice appointments deposits are required immediately. For multiple appointment requests, you will only require one deposit which will be applied at your last session booked.

Exact deposit details for your request will be sent to you in the booking email sent to you.

In general the deposits are as follows:

Mini Flash - $50
Regular Flash - $220
Custom Designs - $250

Please email us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or reschedule through the confirmation email link sent to you a week before your appointment. If you are rescheduling with less than 7 days’ notice, more than one time, or if you are more than 20+ minutes late to your appt your deposit will be forfeited (exceptions at the artist’s discretion). A deposit is required to hold all appointments so if you cancel a session without enough notice or multiple times and you have future appointments booked, all sessions will be removed from the schedule unless a new deposit is sent.

Deposits are good for 3 months from the date of the original appointment canceled.

If you reschedule a free touch-up matching the above policy a deposit will be required to rebook.

ALL designs will be shown on the day of your appointment. I do allot extra time for minor changes on the day of your appointment. Please familiarize yourself with my body of work on my Instagram to ensure my style matches what you are looking for.

I encourage you to add reference photos of my work you feel most represents what you are looking for.

Nikki prefers that you come alone to your session but if you need to bring someone with you, you can bring one guest, over the age of 18 with you! No children, under the age of 18 are allowed in the shop.

No! Please do not apply numbing cream before your session. If you do, your appointment may be rescheduled and you may forfeit your deposit.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are not feeling well and need to reschedule your appointment. Any appointments rescheduled due to illness must be rescheduled within one month or the deposit may be forfeited.

Once your appointment has been approved and the deposit has been received your appointment/idea is then considered confirmed. Any major changes after this point may require a NEW deposit (the original deposit would be forfeited) and your appointment date/time may be changed. Minor tweaks/changes are ok!

Please, be sure of your idea and the quoted price estimate when you book your appointment!

After your tattoo session, you need to wait at least 1 month for the tattoo to fully heal. If you feel it needs a touch-up the first session is complimentary* within 3 months of your original tattoo.

*Finger tattoos and some feet tattoos are exempt from free touch-ups and are always charged at a 50% rate due to the nature of the skin there.
