What to Expect
Consultation
The consultation is where your tattoo journey begins! We will meet to discuss your vision in detail, ensuring we’re aligned on every element of your design.
Please bring three reference photos that capture aspects you’d like to incorporate. Take time to jot down some notes for each reference image-what you’re drawn to, any specific details you love, as well as parts that don’t resonate with you. This will help me understand your style and preferences, so together, we can create a design that feels authentic and uniquely yours.
At the end of the consult, we will book your session!
Design Phase
I’ll begin working on a custom design that reflects your vision. I’ll send the design to you 24 hours before your appointment. One round of edits is included at no extra cost, to make sure the design feels just right.
If further revisions are needed, we may need to reschedule, and an additional $20 fee will apply for each extra round of edits.
Tattoo Session
On the day of your tattoo, my goal is to make sure you’re as comfortable and prepared as possible. Here’s how to get ready:
Moisturize Daily
In the days leading up to your appointment, moisturize the area where you’ll be getting tattooed daily. Healthy, hydrated skin takes ink better and makes for a smoother tattooing process.
Eat and Hydrate
Before your session, have a balanced meal and drink plenty of water to keep your energy up!
Get Rested
A good night’s rest is essential so you’re refreshed and ready.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
Skip binge drinking the night before, and avoid drinking both alcohol and caffeine on the day of your appointment.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed, and wear something you won’t mind getting ink on, just in case!
Throughout the session, I’ll guide you through each step to ensure you feel relaxed and informed as we bring your tattoo vision to life.
