Thank you sincerely for your interest in getting a tattoo from me. I look forward to reading about your idea(s). Please read all of the following information carefully.
DESIGN:
My work is all original designed work incorporating black and grey photorealism, dark art, elaborate lettering and portraits.
I do not take requests outside of these listed genres of work.
No color tattoos are accepted. I also do not take unfinished work, fix ups, rework, touch ups, or cover up work from other artists.
THE PROCESS:
My creative process is spontaneous. It’s important to have quality photo references and descriptions for the theme of your project to understand what you’re trying to achieve.
I understand that it requires a lot of faith and trust as a client. I am extremely thoughtful with every piece I do with the intention of exceeding your original expectations.
APPOINTMENTS:
I book by reserving 1 day or multiple days back to back, not by hour.
Large and intricate pieces will require multiple sessions. I encourage clients to book multiple dates back to back to finish large projects in an appropriate time.
I also ask you to keep in mind that your full day may go longer than the estimated time, so plan your schedule accordingly with some flexibility. A full day typically starts at 11am and concludes at 5pm, latest 7pm.
CONSULTATIONS:
I provide a $200 in person consultation for large scale projects for those who want an in depth consultation consisting of mapping out the arm, finding reference and designing the sleeve prior to appointment. Portraits/intricate lettering are done in one session, and do not require a consultation prior to the appointment.
For a more in depth consultation experience I offer a $200 in person consultation that includes, finding references, creating the design with you, sizing the area, making the stencil and finalizing the project to be able to be ready to go with zero wait time come the day of our appointment.
RATES, DISCOUNTED RATES, DEPOSITS AND PAYMENT:
