What's Included in the Tattoo Session Fee: The fee covers your consultation, design, setup, bandaging, aftercare instructions, and free touchups within 6 weeks of the original tattoo appointment.

Hours of Operation: I operate from 10 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday. It's best to book well in advance as these slots can fill up quickly.

The Design Process: Designs are created collaboratively with you in the studio. Our consultation involves exploring the meaning behind your tattoo, why you want it now, and how to make it unique to you. Whether you have a clear idea or just a concept, we'll work together to create something special.

What to Expect on the Day of the Appointment:

  • Arrival and Consultation: You'll have time to settle in before we start discussing the design, placement, and size options.
  • Design Refinement: We'll find reference photos and create rough ideas, which will be photoshopped onto your body. Once we're happy with the draft, I'll refine the design, checking in with you periodically.
  • Preparation: We'll assess any allergies or sensitivities, prep the skin, and test placements and stencil sizes until we find the perfect fit.
  • Tattooing: I'll check in with you frequently to ensure you're comfortable. Breaks will be taken every 1-2 hours for water and stretching, with a longer meal break every 4 hours.
  • Completion: After the tattoo is done, we'll take pictures, bandage the area, and go over aftercare instructions. Sometimes, I'll request a follow-up in 3-6 weeks for a touchup or final touches.

We look forward to working with you to create a tattoo that you'll love for years to come!
