Emily offers a full day booking option valued at $1200. This breaks down to a $200 booking deposit and then $1000 in cash the day of. A full panel typically requires a minimum of one full day session, depending on factors like size and level of detail.
For smaller pieces, a half day booking option is available, valued at $600. This breaks down to a $200 booking deposit and then $400 in cash the day of. (For tiny, simple tattoos, a quote will be given accordingly.)

Collector Feedback
“I got a tattoo from Ms. Emily Compton and it is beautiful! She was so nice and the studio is beautiful. She made sure I was comfortable and that the tattoo was just the way I liked it. Highly recommend!”
“For my first tattoo, it was important to me to find an artist that I would feel comfortable with and who would be able to create something priceless. Emily Compton responded to me super fast saying that she would be honored to create my first tattoo with me, and she loved the concept of what I had in mind.
Her email and text communication with me has always been so friendly and uplifting, which totally solidified my decision to go with her. Her artwork is impressive, but when I saw her design for me, I was overwhelmed. It’s so pretty!!!
When I showed up, I got to meet her beautiful family, and they all welcomed me so warmly. I felt completely at ease and excited to take this step to get my first tattoo.
Emily is warm and sweet, and you can tell she has such passion for what she does. And on top of that, she is incredibly talented! Her artwork is ethereal and beautiful.
I can’t stop staring at my arm because I’m continually in awe that something so gorgeous is on my body, and l am so grateful for this experience with someone who is patient and supportive and kind.
She’s followed up with me to check on the healing, and for that I’m also immensely grateful.
I can’t wait to come back and get another beautiful piece of art from Emily!”
“Amazing service and great vibe. Emily was very attentive and she’s an excellent artist. Highly recommend!”
“If you’re considering Emily, you need not look any further. She is a true artist, talented and dedicated to her craft. When I first contacted Emily, I had a rough idea for the tattoo’s visual effect and several paragraphs of writing explaining the meaning behind it. She took these pieces of information, hand-crafted designs for a shoulder piece far more beautiful than what my awful artistic mind contemplated, and incorporated all of the meaning into her sketches. When it came time to get inked, she was just as excited as I was to start. My tattoo is now 90% finished, and it has turned out wonderfully. I cannot say enough positive things about Emily, her practice, and the wonderful environment she and Zero have created in their tattoo haven. If Emily charged 5x what she currently does, it would still be a bargain. As long as I live in Orange County, I will never get a tattoo done by another artist. Long story short, five stars aren’t enough to quantify Emily’s abilities.”
“My daughters and I got matching tattoos. We are beyond happy with our tattoos. Zero and Emily are absolutely amazing. Professional, talented, creative and great to talk with. There is no where else we will ever go for our future tattoos. The entire experience was positive. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. I will be referring everyone looking for a tattoo to Zero and Emily. Thank you, truly, for a wonderful experience and for our amazingly beautiful tattoos. Already planning the next one!”
“This was my first time here and I will definitely be back. My niece and I went to get a tattoo for a bonding experience. We both had the pleasure of having Emily do our tattoo. Not only did she do an exceptional job but she was so pleasant and so much fun and I will definitely be coming back.”
