How it works
From first message to healed piece — the six steps every tattoo goes through, and why each one matters. Custom work takes a process. This is mine.
Selective intake, no assembly line
I work with a limited number of clients so every piece gets the attention it needs — from the first message to the healed result. Each step below exists to protect one thing: the quality of the work, and your time. It is slower than a walk-in shop, on purpose.
From inquiry to healed
- 01
Inquire
It starts with the booking form. Share your idea, references, placement, and size — the more detail, the better I can tell whether it is a fit. I read every request myself, so expect a personal reply, not an autoresponder.
- 02
Consult
A free consultation before any money changes hands. We talk through the concept, placement, scale, and how it sits on your body. If your idea is not right for my work, I will say so and point you to someone better suited. This is where we align — no surprises later.
- 03
Deposit
A $300 non-refundable deposit secures your date. It is not an extra fee — it goes directly toward your final price. The deposit is what lets me turn down other work to hold your slot and spend hours drawing your piece before you ever sit down. Reschedules need 24 hours’ notice.
- 04
Design
Your tattoo is drawn specifically for you and the part of your body it will live on. One-of-one, never reused, never sold to anyone else. We refine the design together, and the stencil is only finalized once you approve it in person on session day.
- 05
Session
A full session runs six to seven hours at $1,500, starting at 11:00 AM in Wynwood. We take breaks. Come prepared — fed, rested, hydrated. Large pieces may need more than one session; if so, we will have mapped that out at the consult.
- 06
Aftercare
You leave with a second-skin film and clear aftercare instructions. How you heal it decides how it ages — I give you the full guide and stay reachable if anything comes up. The work does not end when you walk out; it ends when it has healed clean.
