Tattooing begins with conversation. You fill out a request form, and we schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas, intentions, and placement. From there, I’ll develop a design that balances your vision with my artistic voice. The final tattoo is the result of collaboration, care, and attention to detail.
-
Consultations let me get to know you and your ideas. Getting a tattoo is a big decision, and this time ensures we’re aligned on design, placement, and expectations.
Consultations typically last 10–30 minutes. Afterward, you’ll provide your deposit to secure your appointment.
