Placement
Where it goes changes size, detail, pain level, and appointment setup.
Custom tattoos with a calm first step.
Bring the idea early. The studio can help shape placement, size, detail, and appointment expectations before you commit.
Before you message
Four details make the quote easier.
Send these four pieces and the studio can answer with detail instead of more questions. The faster the back-and-forth, the sooner you book.
Day-of reminder: Avoid alcohol 24h before, arrive fed and hydrated, bring valid ID, and wear clothing that gives easy access to your placement area.
Size
Send a rough centimetre size or compare it to a hand, coin, or phone.
References
Screenshots, photos, or Pinterest links — anything that shows the direction you have in mind.
Timing
Mention if you are local, visiting, or trying to book around an event.
Style boards
Browse directions, clearly labeled.
These boards show design categories for planning. They will be replaced with real healed work as studio photography is gathered.
Fine line
Delicate, clean pieces where size and placement matter. Best discussed with clear references.
Blackwork
High-contrast designs, symbols, pattern work, and bold graphic ideas.
Traditional
Classic flash-inspired shapes, strong outlines, readable forms, and confident placement.
Ornamental
Pattern-led work that depends on symmetry, flow, and body mapping.
Lettering
Names, phrases, dates, and symbols planned around readability over time.
Rework ideas
For existing tattoos, send clear photos in natural light before expecting a quote.

First tattoo?
Start with a conversation, not a rushed decision. Ask about placement, pain, size, and healing before booking.
Walk-in?
Walk-ins depend on artist availability and design complexity. Message first when timing matters.
Aftercare?
Clean gently, moisturize as advised, avoid friction, and protect the tattoo while it heals. Full guide →
