Open to your ideas and happy to combine our visions
Feel free to spam me - the more info the better
I will respond when free to continue the design process and consultation
Please be respectful of my time and accomodation
I’m willing to work with you if you are with me
Last of all - Thank you for the support! (`▽´)
DESIGN | PROCESS:
You can find flash in my highlights/on my website - although lately I've been doing customs and have a lot of designs unposted - if you see anything I've made that is of interest we can work off of it~
I can start thinking about the tattoo process If you have:
example photos of placement/area/size - It will also help send an image of the actual area of your skin for the drafting phase
example photos of style - [line quality, shading, motifs] - if it helps send some of your favorite artists/tattoos that resonate with you (Moodboard, Pinterest, IG)
description of what you want/ references/significance to include [can be anything like characters, memories, etc.]
Then we can work together on further details. We can combine it all/mix your ideas with my style - dial into the key elements
Doesn't have to be super detailed or specific - you can send anything you're thinking of as we can design with a fluid stream of consciousness !
Feel free to spam me and I'll look when I get time. Then we can work together on further details - availability/timeline you’d want the piece by - size - budget for the piece!
Everyone has different ways of sharing their vision so I am open and happy to share my own ways in which I think we can expand upon the initial inspiration.
I am iterative and heavily research based - i believe that casting a wide net of inspiration and narrowing in to the most critial elements leads to the most special pieces
I will do my best to mix my style with the references you show! Preferably I would like to add my touch unless you are hard set on following the style you sent closely.
As far as my style goes....I love fine line, cyberpunk and gothic themes, video games, animated series, internet, underground culture. Also cute, sketchy, and meme aesthetics are also appreciated - adding in juxtaposition and dichotomy
There are many techniques to make any piece interesting - I like the layered look - interplay of the organic and synthetic, collaging, and varying line quality.
In the meantime maybe you can check some reference pages I'll share - if anything jumps to you - lining, shading, balance, composition, etc... you can share to me
I am always happy to explore different styles and techniques!
My methods of creation is a mix of drawing, compositing, photo manipulation, image and procedural generation
Depending on what direction we move towards - I will employ the best fitting method
Most of the work you see from my page is customs as that is what is most fun for me as of now.
For those we can consult over DM or call and sometimes workshop it in person for more intricate pieces. Sometimes I do some consultation and slight tweaks to the design day of the appointment with the client! - it varies - the most helpful thing is communication - again feel free to spam me and I will respond at my earliest convenience and update you through the process. Most designs I can have ready and drafted a day or two before the appointment~
All in all - I’m looking forward to making a tailored experience for you! - Something you will be happy to have apart of you for a long time! (`▽´)
PRICING/QUOTE/PAYMENT/DEPOSIT:
Price will depend piece to piece based on complexity/intricacy/size - I don’t typically charge based on time as I work pretty quickly -
I can give an estimate/quote if you provide me with some details or I can base it on previous pieces of mine or those you share as reference
I am happy to work with your budget so we don’t have to compromise on design - to get the best result for both of us! - open to the sliding scale for those in need or difficult circumstances
[I have a $150 Minimum - with a $50 Non-Refundable Deposit that goes towards your piece - Tips are always appreciated ]
Here is a very rough pricing from the most basic side of the spectrum
Small 2-3in - $100-150+
Medium 3-5in - $150-200+
Large 5-10in - $200-600+ USD (most of my pieces are in this range)
For larger, collaborative, or highly detailed work, pricing may increase due to additional design/tattoo time, iteration, and refinement.
To secure the date please send a $50 Non-Refundable Deposit to Confirm the Appointment [Covers Overhead/Design Time/Scheduling [Goes towards the Tattoo]
with a 48 hr Reschedule window - please let me know of cancellations asap - these will unfortunately lose the deposit
Once I receive the deposit - depending on the design I will work on it at my discretion leading up - I will be communicative as this is case by case
Shoot me your ideas and budget so we can work it out

APPOINTMENT PREP:

Come on time please - and let me know of any delays in advance - a few minutes early is fine
If you need to arrive late please no later than 30 minutes
Let me know 48 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment - failure to keep schedule will forfeit your deposit
I am generally flexible and willing to work with you
You may able to bring guests - just let me know in advance and the amount of people so I can gauge if it is possible to accommodate
You are welcome to bring anything of your own to occupy or distract yourself during the session - (books, earbuds, etc).
Please make sure you are not sunburnt, intoxicated, hungover, dehydrated, or hungry/starving before the session
It would be good to wear comfy and loose clothing depending on the area and bring any snacks you’d like
If you would like to prepare in advance - you keep the skin primed by exfoliating, moisturizing, and shaving the area two weeks leading up the the appointment
For those who might find it difficult to get through the session and want to use numbing cream - I generally advise against it as it can affect healing and ink retention - but I am open to it if patch tested at your discretion - always apply a small amount of numbing cream on your skin 24 hours before your session to check for irritation/reaction
let me know of any skin conditions or sensitivities to consider as well - I have a light hand - but do not hesitate to ask for breaks!
Think about placements and orientations - I am happy to redo the stencil as many times as we need - I don’t bite - you’re not being annoying!
I believe everything that makes a tattoo great comes from the preparation stage!
I will send you the location and directions in advance

AFTERCARE:
Total healing time 2-4 weeks for the surface | 3-6 Months to fully heal
Be the most mindful within the first two weeks - and even more careful within the first 4 days after getting the piece
Please strictly avoid exercise for at least 7-10 days, alcohol [thins blood], the sun, friction, soaking the tattoo for prolonged periods - this will all cause poor healing/ ink retention
Wear the Second Skin initially for 24 hours - it prevents friction and foreign contaminants as well as keeps moisture in - if it comes off before - continue with normal aftercare
Take off Instructions - Start at a corner and pull downwards: gently [without tugging] pull in the direction of your hair growth - Warm Water / shower / baby oil may help loosen the edges
2-3 Times a day | Wash + Ointment
Clean with unscented antibacterial soap - (dial gold) pat dry
Apply cream or plain lotion for use - make sure to not smother the tattoo - a light layer is enough
Consider hustle butter, aquaphor, Lubriderm - note for any allergens of personal irritants
Do not scratch or pick at the tattoo when itchy/faking or peeling!
This will start to happen within the first 3-10 days
You can lightly pat/slap it in this case.
Apply Sunscreen to prolong the life of the tattoo
Contact me for any questions / concerns
For next continuing sessions - it is advised to wait at least 10 days to go over the same area.
These are general instructions - some pieces vary by case - I am here to help ensure you have the best measures and discretion for your piece!
Proper healing will eliminate the need of further touch ups down the line tho I offer them to my clients
Bless you for your trust! (`▽´)
