Do you create custom designs?Yes, I specialize in creating custom designs tailored to your ideas and preferences. Whether you have a clear vision or just a general concept, I’ll work with you to bring it to life. My goal is to create a piece that feels unique and personal to you while aligning with my artistic style.
-
Can I bring my own design, or does it need to be something you create?You’re welcome to bring your own design! I can use it as is or make adjustments to ensure it works well as a tattoo. However, if your design is outside my style or needs significant changes, I’ll collaborate with you to adapt it or create something new that fits your vision while staying true to my artistic strengths. That said, I will not copy someone else's work - I can use it as a reference to create something similar in idea and style, but keeping it unique and personal.
-
Do you offer consultations before booking?Yes, I offer consultations to discuss your ideas, placement, sizing, and any other details before booking your appointment. This helps ensure we’re on the same page and allows me to provide you with a more accurate estimate of time and cost. Consultations are a great way to ask questions and finalize the design concept. The consultation is free of charge.
-
Do you tattoo in color, or do you only work in black and grey?I primarily specialize in black and grey tattoos, as it complements the fine line and delicate designs I create. However if you’re interested in adding subtle color to a piece, I'd love to do it, I'm always open to your ideas!
-
Can I see the design before my appointment?I don’t typically send designs ahead of time because my schedule doesn’t allow me the flexibility to finalize and send them beforehand. I know it’s hard to come without knowing for sure what’s going to look like, but I have to draw every day for the tattoos I have the next day, so unfortunately, I don’t have the time to send it beforehand. That said, if I design it a bit earlier, I can send it to you, feel free to remind me the week before our appointment. During our appointment I reserve enough time to make any changes you want, so don’t worry if you don’t like anything about it, we can always re-design it together.
-
Do you tattoo clients under 18 with parental consent?Yes, I tattoo clients who are 16 or older with parental consent. Both the client and their parent or legal guardian must be present at the appointment, and valid ID for both is required. This policy ensures that everyone is fully informed and comfortable with the process. Keep in mind that I reserve the right to decline certain designs or placements for younger clients.
-
Do you do cover ups?Yes, I do offer cover-up tattoos! However, it’s important to understand that covering up an existing tattoo comes with some limitations. To effectively conceal the original tattoo, the new design will typically need to be larger and darker. This means that your options for design and style may be more limited compared to starting with a blank canvas. I’ll work closely with you to create a design that you love while ensuring it works well as a cover-up. Being open to creative ideas is key to achieving the best results! If you’re unsure whether your tattoo is a good candidate for a cover-up, feel free to reach out for a consultation. Here are some examples of cover ups I've done:
-
Do you do finger tattoos?Yes, I do finger tattoos! However, it’s important to understand that this area is particularly difficult for tattoos to heal well. The skin on fingers is thinner and constantly in motion, which makes it harder for the ink to settle properly during the healing process. Fingers are also exposed to frequent washing, friction from everyday tasks, and environmental factors like sun exposure, all of which can contribute to fading, blurring, or uneven healing. Additionally, the natural turnover of skin on the hands is faster than on other parts of the body, which means finger tattoos often lose detail and vibrancy over time. Because of these challenges, I don’t offer free touch-ups for finger tattoos. If you’re considering one, it’s important to be aware of these factors and have realistic expectations about the long-term appearance of your tattoo. Here are some examples of healed finger tattoos (not done by me):
-
Can you work around scars or stretch marks?Yes, I can work with scars or stretch marks, but it depends on their size, age, and texture. Older, healed scars are typically easier to tattoo over than newer or raised scars. Keep in mind that tattooing over these areas can have unique challenges, such as uneven ink absorption or irregular healing. During a consultation, I’ll assess the area and discuss the best approach to create a design that works beautifully with your skin.
-
What if I have allergies or sensitive skin?If you have allergies or sensitive skin, let me know before your appointment. I use high-quality, professional-grade tattoo inks and equipment, but some people can still have allergic reactions. If you have a known allergy to certain inks or products, we can discuss alternative options or perform a patch test before proceeding. It’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor if you have concerns about how your skin may react to a tattoo.
-
Do you tattoo during pregnancy or breastfeeding?No, I do not tattoo clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is for your safety and your baby’s, as tattooing carries a small risk of infection, and your body may be more sensitive during this time. Additionally, the healing process and any potential adverse reactions to the ink or equipment could pose unnecessary risks. I recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to book your tattoo.
