The process

How it
works.

No guesswork. Here’s every step from your first idea to a fully healed tattoo.

01

Pick or pitch

Pick a ready-to-go flash or one-of-one design, or pitch your own idea for a custom piece.

Pick a designPitch an idea

02

Consult & retainer

Designs go straight to checkout. Customs and large-scale projects start with a quick consult to cover placement, size, timeline and budget.

A $50 non-refundable retainer holds your date and goes toward your total. Half day (3 hrs) $450 · Full day (6 hrs) $850.

03

Designed together, on you

This is where my process is different: it’s 100% collaborative. I don’t send designs ahead of time. Instead, we sit down together at your appointment, talk through tweaks and hash out every detail side by side.

Whenever I can, I freehand directly on your body so the piece follows your natural curves and movement. It’s not just about the tattoo, it’s about you, and the whole experience is built around that.

04

Tattoo day

Once it feels exactly right, we check placement in the mirror together and get to work. Large pieces are split across multiple sessions.

Bring: photo ID, snacks, water, something to watch or listen to.

05

Heal & show off

Follow the aftercare below. Send a healed photo after 4–6 weeks so we can check how it settled.

Heal it right

Every body heals a little differently. When in doubt, ask.

Day 1–3

Keep the wrap on as instructed. Wash gently with unscented soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, then apply a thin layer of ointment.

Day 4–14

Flaking and itching are normal. Don’t pick or scratch. Switch to a light, fragrance-free lotion 2–3 times a day.

Avoid

Pools, baths, hot tubs, the ocean, tanning and direct sun for at least 2 weeks. Skip tight clothing over fresh work.

Forever

Sunscreen (SPF 30+) keeps lines crisp and colours bright for years.
