That first contact is essential. It's not a formal meeting — it's an open conversation where we define ideas, explore possibilities, and refine the overall direction of the piece. We'll talk through the flow of the tattoo on your body, the likely number of sessions, and the first steps to building something meaningful together. If your project aligns with my artistic approach, we'll book your consultation directly through my calendar.

We begin at noon in the studio. First, we adjust proportions and place the design on the skin. When everything flows naturally, we start. During the session, we pause to eat, hydrate, and recharge. I don't like to rush — I enjoy the process. I work gently, with a technique that's respectful to the skin. There will be some discomfort working with needles, but nothing unbearable, and it's always worth it.

The design process is both complex and simple at once — it hinges on understanding the tattoo's idea and intent. The more information you provide, the clearer the expectations for the final design, which is shown only to you and never sent more than 24 hours in advance. For projects requiring several sessions, timing is discussed in advance so there's no doubt. A tattoo isn't a mathematical process — everyone's skin heals differently, so I'm always upfront when timing may vary.

There are no fixed prices by style, placement, or size. Every project is quoted individually based on the number of sessions it requires.

Yes — it's free and comes with no obligation. It simply opens the door to a real conversation.

Send me your tattoo idea and where on your body you'd like it. From there, we'll shape it together into a design.

Email responses are usually sent within 24–48 hours.

Once we both decide to move forward, your date is secured with a 30% deposit (plus tax).

No, deposits are non-refundable.

Yes, with at least 7 days' notice. Changes made with less than 7 days' notice require a new deposit.

The remaining balance is paid at the end of each session. Both card and cash are accepted; card payments include a 3% processing fee.

Large-scale projects must be completed within 12 months, to ensure consistency of style, technique, and color across all sessions.

Normally, no. I recommend coming alone — I need concentration to work, and having someone else there for several hours can be distracting for both of us. They're welcome to join you on the way in or wait outside during breaks, but it's best to be alone during the tattooing itself.
