Frequently Asked Questions

Tattoo Inquiry

How do I discuss my tattoo ideas and get a quote?

All initial tattoo inquiries and discussions are conducted via text message. We will cover:

  • Details of your concepts
  • Cover-up suggestions
  • Best options for your tattoo ideas
  • Rates and estimates for each specific piece

Design Work

When is the design work for my tattoo created?

Design work is created on the day of your session and discussed in person. Depending on the size and complexity of the concept, this can take between 1-3 hours. While slight adjustments can be made, a complete change of design will require more time and may result in a reschedule and a new deposit.

Booking Large Pieces

What is the best way to book large pieces?

For large pieces, it is recommended to book two consecutive sessions (back-to-back days) to complete a significant portion of the work, such as a full shoulder piece. Alternatively, starting with a premium full day of 12 hours or more is suggested.

All deposits and session payments are made through this website and are non-refundable. When leaving a deposit on the website, you can view the availability on the calendar and schedule your day. Deposits for 5-12 hour sessions are $1000 and are applied towards the total cost.

Vision and Service

What is your vision and style for tattoos?

Creating art that resonates and endures is my ultimate goal. I am dedicated to providing exceptional quality and service, ensuring that each piece is something both my clients and I can cherish and be proud of. My main tattoo styles include:

  • Black and grey realism and stylized realism
  • Portraits
  • High contrast black and grey
  • Detail and texture-focused black and grey and color
  • Color realism
  • Cover-up tattoos
  • Fix-up tattoos
  • Lettering
  • Neo-traditional and other styles

 Cover-up Tattoos

What is the process for cover-up tattoos?

Cover-ups require specific approaches to properly hide the old tattoo. Each project has its own estimate and time range. Covering darker and larger tattoos will need concepts with enough contrast, detail, and texture. Laser removal treatment may be suggested for tattoos that are too dark. Some designs may need more layering than others, which can require a few short sessions.

Are there any design restrictions for cover-ups?

It is not recommended to use concepts with large, light open areas for cover-ups, as they require multiple layering sessions to achieve proper coverage.

Strategic Placement

How do you ensure the tattoos flow well on the body?

I place tattoos strategically to ensure they flow and look well with striking detail and legibility from a distance. My style often involves creating large images that utilize the full space of each area for an aesthetically pleasing flow and cohesive detail.

Design Session

What happens during the first session?

The first session is typically a long day involving layout design, sizing, placement, and beginning the tattoo. I research the concept beforehand and discuss ideas in person with the client until we narrow down the best concept. This design work process usually takes 1-3 hours.

Feel free to ask any questions to ensure you are comfortable. Our goal is to work together to create artwork we can both be confident and proud of.
